Bach on vibraphone. Specifically, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." This gentleman whose hands are the only thing we see of him can play it. I suspect Milt Jackson could have as well, given the classical inclinations of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Of course maybe if Bach had lived a couple of centuries later he would have been a jazzman himself. "That cat with a wig can really lay down a groove."

You're right that was a very well played version of Bach's beautiful piece of music. It's always been one of my favorite hymns. Milt Jackson could definitely have done it justice as well - True Blues proved that.
As far as amazing musicians are concerned I couldn't remember if I'd sent you a link to the Chinese musician who played Hotel California in an extraordinary video. It's here if I didn't send it before:

There's another one on youtube of her performing Smooth Criminal on a street in France:

Okay, so then I got very curious about who this young woman might be and I found an article about her after a bit of a search. Her name is
Peng Jingxuan and she's become quite well-known in France.
