Hiromi Plays "I Got Rhythm" by George Gershwin (8/4/2010)

[Santinibass1]

I don't want to be repetitive here - if she doesn't bring any innovation to the jazz idiom at all, that would be ok. But what bothers me the most is that - with her everything becomes a 'pyrotechnic' skills demonstration.. (of course, the public always love it - but there's not what Jazz is about... thanks God!!!). I'm giving an opinion, no offense (and please, don't come to me saying "she have played with Corea!"... that doesn't mean that she, or Eric Marienthal, are innovators in Jazz.

@Santinibass1

For me she does both.

[xTravis1]

@Santinibass1 You have a good point there but jazz is the hardest genre in my opinion so it pretty common for me to see pianist to demonstrate pyrotechnic skills.... It's unique but she may overdo it a little bit....

[Santinibass1]

@xTravis1 You're absolute right - playing jazz it's not easy - But talking about the truly greats... ( it can be a famous pianist or a very young player, you can tell) - it does't matter if they're playing their brains off, their focus are completely different. You can hear their hearts through their hands- you're not gonna even pay attention to how hard is the thing they're playing, just the music-NO jive, no 'showing off'! This is really difficult, and THIS is what jazz is all about. Cheers.

Please don't play with YAMAHA!!!!!!!

She has the skill that is incredibly comparable to oscar peterson. probably the most skillful jazz pianist in today's era of musicians.

[GarlandDrest]

Hiromi is one of the most talented pinaists out there but her improvisations frequently degenerate into circus acts. All considerations of phrasing and true invention give way to these admittedly astonishing pyrotechnics. She's the jazz equivalent of lang lang in that respect. I have the most profound admiration for her as an improvisor overall however - if only she can step out of oscar peterson's all encompassing shadow she'll be a genre unto herself

[mirtoff]

wow.... it's amazing!

[lesatz4]

Qué maravilla!!!

[goska1325]

Ohhh yes!!! She has!!! One of the best jazz piano

[1deborahsf]

[arondrusek]

This, is music.

[okamegayo]

FANTASTIC　MARVELOUS

[YouNotch]

She's got rhythm.

[harveyardman]

She has an earlier--I think--and quite different--version of I Got Rhythm on YouTube, which runs about eight minutes, I think. I can't choose between them.

[Moontsukioka]

これだけ楽しく弾けたら、自分も表情ならできるかも。エアピアノ­。やってみよう。

[Crapweeds]

[azalater]

6:49 incredible she is in extasis playing... i'm like her dress "rayado"

[azalater]

Incredible

[yuichituba]

As a young musician, how can ANYONE top that!?

Absolutely astonishing improv from the heart!

[MISSINWORLD]

pauvre Gershwin, elle sait jouer du piano, mais c'esr de la M..............

foutage de gueule ,

pour les grimaces ............ cinéma

[steveg2223]

She will achieve fame and respect from her peers. She's terrific and usually is surrounded by excellent side men. (persons?). I really like her in the virtuoso form. She's Jamal / Garner / Tatum / Powell / Waller all wrapped up in a joyous package. I believe that OP or Tatum would be charmed and maybe even challenged a bit.

[laredhd]

I love you

[haglong144]

¡Excelente!

[00s00m]

Wow. That is all...

[jvtile1]

She played for him on his piano at his home in Toronto, according to her appearance on "Piano Jazz" with Marian McPartland. Viva le Oscar! may he rest in peace (and harmony)

[austinlee168]

i wonder what oscar peterson would have said if he had see her play!

[mmachiz]

@austinlee168  He did. He was her biggest fan. They toured together in Japan. There was a journal online with his comments about her.

[antiotio]

I loooooooooooooooooooooove the way u play ! Bravo !

[flemusic]

I was really impressed until I saw she's playing the tune in C. : )

Seriously, she's a phenomenon.

[jseph1234567890]

REMARKABLE!!!

[aufbakhandleitung]

That was some wild playing! I really don't understand what criteria a jazz musician should meet to become famous. Because, she should be.

[flippenpinoi]

@aufbakhandleitung if you're talking about fame in a global marketing sense then she will probably never achieve that. but i can guarantee that if you ask her and other jazz musicians today they'll tell you that fame isnt a priority to be chased after. how can it be when there's so much to learn about the artform?

[ntvito]

@flippenpinoi however, robert glasper has a diferent opinion



[filerouge]

meravigliosamente brava!!

[goluba1964]
