Inside Clint Eastwood's Relationship With Son Kyle Eastwood

It turns out that Clint Eastwood truly played an instrumental role in introducing his son Kyle to music. Clint took Kyle to the Monterey Jazz Festival when he was only eight years old, and he came away from the experiencing wanting to learn piano, so his dad said yes, (via The Guardian). That's not all; as Kyle's interest and skill grew, his father began playing along with him.

Kyle explained to The Guardian, "I grew up listening to jazz, because that's the music my parents were listening to. My dad showed me the first thing I ever learned: I was playing the left-hand part and he played the right."

While Kyle doesn't have serious plans to pursue roles in films, he definitely understands the parallels between his father's world and his own. "Film-making is a lot like going into the studio and recording an album: the editing, the putting things together. And jazz is very visual. People have said that about my music, so I think the film-composing element sneaks into it."
