This entire concert quite literally brings tears to my eyes every time for years now. Hiromi is one of the most genuine, present in the moment conduits for creation on the planet. We are blessed to experience her talent!
I’m just so scared that this woman may not be protected enough against our world . May she always be allowed to be what she is . She comes from a gentler place than the planet I live on .
Yes that’s what creativity - life - is. Yet, it’s inevitable to face challenges, which she’s aware of I’m sure. @@davidramirezrodriguez3373. Yes that’s
I love Hiromi. She is abnormally talented. Have been binging her for weeks. You are correct The G key was off :( in this piece. maybe more I think her tuner will have a word with her
What a musician. If this is a note from the past it is also a message to the present telling us that music is alive and will accompany us in the future. Thank you, Hiromi.
Does anyone else hear echos of Genesis and Weather Report in here....marvelous evolution to another level. Fantastic guitar solo. Zawinul is looking down and smiling right now. Oh, and maybe John McLaughlin?
@@StefanoDallAgata Yeah, Yuja Wang, Valentina Lisitsa and Yeol Eum Son are my choices for classical. There's actually a pic of Yuja and Hiromi posing together on the internet.
As a drummer, I want to play with Hiromi. As a observer, of genius, I'm still in awe! As a performer" I pray and hope that I will be Able to help her spread more love thru the gift of music"!!!! Sincerely Michael J. Davis AKA. beyond blessed 🤠
I saw her years ago as a sideman with Greg Osby and she just overwhelmed me. I met the band the next day as they were leaving their motel. We chatted for a bit and she is such a sweet and charming girl so I had to ask her how can she turn into such a monster when she's at the keys? She blushed and giggled, "I don't know."
I met her in Daytona in the 2000’s. She was exactly as you say. I asked her to sign my Nord keyboard and she was so humble and flattered. She said that no one had ever asked her to sign their keyboard before! She actually asked me if it was ok with me if she posted a picture of the signing on her website😂 I was in such awe. What a beautiful soul and by far the most amazing pianist/keyboardist I have ever seen. What an inspiration she was then and is to me now❤️
There has to be a story here, of a formal piano teacher in her early years telling her to sit still and maintain decorum at the instrument... yet after attempting to restrain itself within those confines for a time, her Spirit rebelled with a Primal Scream like labor pains, and gave birth to a playing style more joyous, and spontaneous, and invigorating, and infused with love than anything ever seen before at the pianoforte--or any other instrument, for that matter.
This is playing with absolutely no walls (or fear)...she reminds me of Bjork, frankly...intense, but with this wonderful grin...technique aside, she is one musician I encourage my students to emulate when they play..
I feel bad for your students if you cant understand the technique ... Bjork has her own wonderful grin !! Sugar cubes !! your correlation is superficial !! you cant be listening !! No one should have fear or walls !! musicians that can let go like that are the ones we learn technique from ... Mozart, Hendrix, Miles, big mama thornton ...on and on !! Music theory was written after people played .... for people like you to figure out how to play ... " those that cant do teach "
Spot on! I started out my life as a composer and arranger of modern jazz. THat was at the time when Miles et al invented Cool Jazz. All this to say that having studied the classics and arranged for the the local TV octet. I know a thing or two about music. Switched to IT because I couldn't feed my family by exploring the new world of music."Too young to get married..." Anyway, I entirely agree with you that Hiromi is the only musician I know whjo has truly assimilated both classics and jazz and has come out with a new innovative mix unparalleled in the music scene. Her mastery of the keyboard is unreal and her counterpoint between drums, base and piano is the work of genius. A Big Responsibility to carry on such frail shoulders...
she uses so called passing notes but without passing and sounding them observantly, and lots of resolution happens on non altered but sophisticated harmonies like on the classical way of relations of notes and i think this ensemble is way more better than 2013 tokyo jazz fest, more intuitive... you know sometimes it can be useful to dig deeper to get higher at the end, jay-kay does though :D
@@maggot1995 How about "FUCK YOU, bluecultist"?? That's pretty clear, isn't it?? LOL. :ODD What the fuck is your problem with allegory, by the way?? Advanced minds and creative geniuses (like myself) think in metaphors and allegories all the time, it's a higher level of knowing than mere linear thinking.
would certainly satisfy all the over-playing-loving chump fans who don't care about listening, interplay, creating new colors and ideas .... that's for sure!
@@davidfuzefiuczynski are you fucking kidding? Go watch the G3 live jams of Steve vai, joe satriani and Guthrie Govan. You'd be surprised how creatively guthrie kills every time, while steve vai shows his dominance assertively, cutting guthrie's lines. Guthrie = GOD
@@akarshrastogi3682 yes, serious ability, not a whole lot of space and i hate your whole wind up of "steve vai shows his dominance assertively," what is this? a sports competition? silly me for thinking music can be a path for creativity and spirituality
@@davidfuzefiuczynski exactly, I am hating on steve Vai for that. He cuts in when guthrie is actually being brilliant, and plays the same licks and fast riffs thinking speed+technique = master. Guthrie is the ultimate genius.
@@akarshrastogi3682 oh ok, well maybe we c it the same way then, and dont get me wrong i'm a big steve fan.......flexible, vocal transcription and dbling of zappa's voice and a whole lot more...and my basic whammi technique is from him, but yeah sometimes u know what they say "points for brevity". in terms of hiromi maybe guthrie could be the man (i've suggested it to her), i just think when ur at this level why not push it to the next? there's a lot of language from last century, playing hendrix is one thing, why not be the next one?
