Blue Monk

[dangerbooboo]

Hiromi is proof that you can have all the chops in the world, thoroughly digest all the "material" and language of this music, and still not be happening. This video is great for one reason, though. Where else can you see so many people get their asses kicked by Hank Jones, Chick, and Patitucci on one stage?

[hippitybippitybop]

Asian Monk? Come on Chick it just AINT GOT NO AMERICAN SOUL!!!

[iop223]

2 pianos? why not..

[DavesTrumpet]

Wow, that was too cool, and the ending was interesting. Thanks for posting!

[guitarzcool]

Beautiful, playing is effortless indeed!!!!

[r3ck0rd]

[Steinwaytoday]

LOL 5:52 CHICK COREA DANCE!!! hahahahaha

[amokiness]

LOLLL

[Giwilly18]

is an excellent version, ... I venture to think that Mr.Monk would be proud

[ragyps]

Hank Jones is the last 4th pianist

[passafist22]

... wena version del sr monk

[maquinista14]

Me equiviqué al marcarlo. ¿Cómo corrijo el error?

[Rigerdaby]

still no one bends the piano keys like monk Did, but still good performance

[poltome]

@Rigerdaby The Japanese woman had great technical chops but musically it was average. I'm also not sure why you'd have Chick Corea as a guest for such a bluesy straight forward tune.

[bareftjacky]

hank jones ; the man!

[Lee222222]

This is what I call MUSIC ! Thank you Lord for inventing music !!! God Bless you all !

[blathui]

look how they're beaming

[TatsuyaMizuno1219]

Who's this drummer?He's nice.

[obrsl]

omar hakim

[alex9050]

No randomness

[alex9050]

Love the drummer. Don't think the pianists got it. Too many notes, too far from the original

[Baltzy24]

Artists cover other songs to make it their own, its not necessarily supposed to sound like the original. But the drummer is good yeah, maybe a bit too many fills for jazz but he keeps a good beat.

[sowhathaveyouknicked]

then listen to the original!

[Luchosalassa06]

Buenísimo blue monk!!!

[1950jimbei]

How heartwarming!!

[soduno]

Wov damn - Didn't knew Omar could play like that

[Keithdrengen]

I cant talk about other stuff they may have done together, but I wouldnt be too critical on this particular performance, because its more like they are just having fun and loosening up.

The drummer is organic!

[Keithdrengen]

Who is the drummer?

[drums4praise]

Omar Hakim

[helfrominfra]

hiromi aishiteru yo!

[Vayshen]

Doule quatre mains...amazing!

[tytaniumboxhead]

i wish they'd stop bloody claping.

[Moog168]

@tytaniumboxhead LOL Why? Everybody is having fun :D

[dwohlt1]

3:10 to 3:27 is what I hear when I remember that I lost something.

[akv8]

are they clapping..

[KGsMusic]

Yep, this must be captured in Japan where appearantly the jazz audience likes to clap (very disciplined) instead of just (sit and) listen ...

[jazzmanpianer]

Who is the drummer????!

[akv8]

looks like brian blade

[sherman9009]

actually he looks a lot to omar hakim

[akv8]

ya well you're probably right, i don't know..

[KW911]

nope not brian blade

[jazzencat]

I liked the part where Hiromi and Chick play off each other.

[greob]

Simply amazing!

Hank Jones and Chick Corea are so cool!

[KJShackx2]

hiromi needs to learn a lesson from chick- you don't have to be playing the whole time. jazz is a combination of sound and SILENCE.

[sax503]

I don't agree with that. I like the way how she's playing

[longtallsallie08]

she over does it sometimes though. you'll see when you get into her more

[jazzencat]

Her music definitely gets wild, but no more so than some classical performances. She cuts loose like some of Rachmaninioff's (sp?) compositions or Prokofiev's do.

[jazzencat]

She does pause, Chick fills in some of the blanks.

[Vinthoveen]

But it sounded kind of bad when chic was playing lines, she was playing all over him. When she played lines, chic let her be heard and backed off some... she should have been more sensitive to that. KJShack I agree 100%.

[optimaloc]

I dont know man. Chick seemed to dig it, and I dig it too.

[sax503]

Supernice!

But who's the saxophonist?

[jpnina]

Sadao Watanabe plays altosax.

[longtallsallie08]

man hiromi over does it sometimes

[yamahahahahahahahaha]

Who are those 2 ppl that sat in with Hiromi/Corea?

[hmazura]

Maybe John Patitucci and Omar Hakim (?)

[IcarusJazz]

Yup, definitely John Patitucci.

[wadecottingham]

looking forward to corea/hiromi recording

[sheneiro]

Buenisimoo

[longtallsallie08]

I LOVE HIROMI, lemme just preface this. BUT...man i'm just gonna let someone else say it...

[pianoanimal09]

All the pianists in this video are awesome, but this is just extremely cheesy.

[longtallsallie08]

my sentiments exactly

[4123945]

rock on sweet hiromi
