Once again, for its April 2011 issue, Vanity Fair has paired The Twilight Saga vampire with a piano, but, instead of being solitary with the ivory keys, Robert Pattinson was surrounded by the world-famous Preservation Hall band
“When we first started, none of us knew that Robert really does play piano,” says Ben Jaffe, the tuba player (center, above), the band’s director, and the son of the venue’s founders. “But when he got up there, he started ticking out these notes, and it was obvious he wasn’t just tinkling— [Robert Pattinson] really knew how to play.” Though the musicians were expecting the actor to just pose, Pattinson gamely jammed along with their tunes.
After finishing a song, he leaned over to Jaffe “and said, ‘That’s the first time I’ve played with a group of guys like that,’” Jaffe recalls.
Thanks to Just Jared Jr. for the heads up. And, here’s the Vanity Fair outtake of Robert Pattinson from the December 2009 issue shoot.
