Yes! I had no idea until you asked but learned a bunch. Apparently the piano he had to play was smaller than he was used to and had some broken keys/pedals. He just improvised the whole thing!
I heard the story, but never have listened to the album. I don't know enough about jazz to truly appreciate it, but I can sit back and enjoy some musical mastery.
It's very accessible imo. Give it a shot. I don't listen to a ton of jazz, let alone jazz piano, but it's in my regular rotation. Especially while working.
