Broken Record presents an episode of "Cautionary Tales": Bowie, Jazz and the Unplayable Piano

Should he risk humiliation and play anyway or simply walk out? The collaboration between pop superstar David Bowie and arch disruptor Brian Eno offers a lesson that staying in your comfort zone isn't always the best option.
