chigson Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Cool stuff. There is at least one more video of their duo on YT. IIRC they were playing Spain there Quote if you can't tell the difference, does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRollins Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I needed that... Mind you, I didn't know I needed it until I heard it, but that was just the thing to settle my mood and ground me after a sometimes difficult day. Hiromi is adorable and I love the way she maintains eye contact with Chick throughout, almost as though she's flirting with him (set age differences and the fact that he's married aside for the moment). Chick? Well, I mean he's Chick, ya know? The thing that I find fascinating is that he remains, 45 years after I first saw him, an incredible player. Age doesn't seem to have affected his playing a bit. There was a point in there, about a third of the way in, where I swear I more than half-expected Chick to reach over and unleash a riff or two on a Moog. Then he filled in with something completely different than what I had thought of, and it was better anyway, and that's why he's Chick and I'm just a wannabe keyboard player in the hinterlands. Maybe I should just go back to stringed instruments... Grey Quote I'm not interested in someone's ability to program. I'm interested in their ability to compose and play.

jerrythek Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Ears... Technique.... Taste... But I keep coming back to ears. Whenever I see a duet of this type (Chick and Herbie, I once saw Eric Reed and Cyrus Chestnut in duet) I get reminded how just being able to hear, to know what the other player is playing so you can support it, compliment it... is so important. Not having anywhere near perfect pitch I marvel at their connection. Simply amazing, and wonderful. Thanks. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMcM Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Just incredible! It"s cool how the two pianos are voiced differently. Hiromi"s a bit brighter and lively while Chick"s is a tad on the mellow side and seasoned sounding. Or it could just be the miking and EQ. Either way, what an uplifting performance. Quote Wm.
