      The jazz culture in me 🧐 wants to argue to exert my dominance in playing wrong notes the "right" way and considering exclusively the "classic" jazz pianists, as being offended by new interpretations of jazz is our primary responsibility as we progress towards PhDs in jazz theory, but...honestly, she's pretty dang good. 😆 I feel like this comment will inevitably cause contention in the jazz world because jazz schools teach musical superiority even more than they teach contradictory music theory, but...who cares?

      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).

      it's difficult to conclude that that's what she did, because she was already looking to the crowd and smiling even before the guy shouted "yeah". Then she briefly looked at the piano and looked back the same way she was doing before. 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 😶

      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.

    • @rogacz25
      @rogacz25 Год назад +71

      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.

      That’s what I was thinking the entire time! It wasn’t until the video was over that I realize was face was just starting to hurt from smiling along with her the whole way. It’s something about seeing the joy radiate off of a musician while they play; seeing someone look so happy doing something they love. For me that aspect makes me enjoy the performance so much more. 💕
