Absolutely agree! Nothing is better than seeing a musician that is really loving what they are doing. It is so inspiring and makes me so much happier knowing they are loving it! I went to a concert of four metal bands and one of the undercard bands was Avatar. I knew of them and enjoyed their music, but they stole the show with how much fun they had on stage and with the crowd. It means so much more when the people there to entertain you clearly are enjoying doing it. In contrast, I saw Bob Dylan play the same venue and he came off like he felt he had blessed us with his presence - never thanked or even acknowledged the crowd and at the end, he walked up front, looked to the side, put a hand out in a flashy pose, turned and walked off stage. I would love to see Avatar again - wouldn't go see Dylan if the tickets were free (which is sad because I love his work).

This is a great clip to show someone who doesn't "get" jazz.

Even this whole idea that she repeated the lick just because of the "yeah" is kind of a stretch, as that could have been on her plans to do anyway, regardless of the guy shouting.

Her control of rhythm is astonishing, i mean I know that she's a world class musician but that section at around 06:30 where she was playing the melody in the bass left me gobsmacked 😶

@abydosianchulac2

Жыл бұрын

It wasn't even the rhythmic clarity for me, which is mind-blowing in and of itself; it was how she gave the melody that much personality and exuberance while keeping the treble so regimented and restrained. It felt to me like the melody had been so restrained for the previous measures it was just forcing it's way out of her. Glorious stuff.

I see a lot of "jazz players" springing up in the comments section, Chick Corea appreciates her performance and plays with her. It is clear that anyone who has doubts about her playing should first question their own ears.

真的是在玩音乐，太完美了！中间好几个段落的编曲让我瞠目结舌！谢谢您带来如此有魅力的演奏！

I was lucky enough to hear Hiromi play live in 2014 - front row seat, behind the piano, in a stand on the stage(!). She had this same level of fun and intensity for what I guess was a couple of hours. When she came back for the second encore I felt kinda sorry for her, as she was clearly exhausted, but she still gave it her all and knocked it out the park anyway. An absolute olympian of musicianship.

Beautiful! This version of the song gives me goosebumps

I love, love, love this ball of pianoforte lightning more than I can rightly describe! Great piece, terrific transcription! You should charge for the latter - no really, I'd pay for them.

If you were sitting in the audience it wouldn’t sound off beat. It’s only because the mic is on stage, so the sound has to travel to the audience, they clap on the beat, and then the sound of the clap has to come all the way back to the stage. Sound travels pretty slow. The audience only has to be about 15 yards away for this to happen.

I think it starts with knowing what key it is in first. Then you just gotta know the scale. Chords are the last thing you can identify. Often melodies can be pulled if you have an anchor note( what I like to call it) like the 1st of the scale or just C in general.

Not the piano, but playing, like a kid. And when the audience started to clap, I thought "Oh, it's not about *skill.* They're playing with her. They're all in that auditorium to watch her "play" and get to feel like they're "playing" and get to join in on "play" with her and the piano is kinda secondary..."

I lost my shit at 6:21 when she starts swinging a melody in her left hand while KEEPING UP that gnarly (although probably not TOO difficult) right hand pattern at the SAME TIME! I'm sure it's a 'trick', but keeping it THAT EVEN and CLEAR in the right while SWINGING the LEFT is NOT a trick... that's called damn fine musicianship !
