SHE'S SO FRIGGIN GOOD!

I'm glad to learn, as a Japanese jazz fan, this video captures audience outside Japan, even though some of the comments critisize her performance. IMO, technique is of secondary to the musical mind, while I highly evaluate her skills as well though.

you wouldnt know what would work in this context....forgive me, but jazz musicians are inferior in every way to classical musicians....no organization, no technique, no formal training......

@Aerich711 Don't bother with him. He made a mistake and was unwilling to admit it, even after outstanding evidence against his unwarranted claim was presented (by you). You pinned him down, and he refused to accept that.

@Dolorousness Ever heard of Stephane Grapelli?

[Dolorousness]

forgive me but violin is incongruous in the jazz idiom, in spie of her technical proficiency and allure; Jean=Luc Ponty is boring and outside of the intro this piece is rather pedestrian. Violin didn't work for John Handy and it doesn't work here.

@Browniesisgood There's only one Chaconne in D minor from Bach's 2nd Partita, BWV 1004. What I meant when I said C minor is that this piece is in C minor, Chaconne is in D minor.

[Browniesisgood]

@Aerich711 Then we are not talking about the same piece.

[Aerich711]

@Browniesisgood Umm... yeah, no. This is definitely nothing like the Chaconne. Stylistically it's similar, but it's in C minor, not D minor. Also, aside from the brief bariolage section she does (which Bach certainly doesn't have a patent on), I hear no quoting of the Chaconne or any other Bach piece for that matter. The intro is a unique composition and isn't "from" anything.

Qualifications: I'm a violin performance major and have played the Chaconne.
