Bring on the night - Sting /Piano Solo Played as Kenny Kirkland

[@andradas9688]

It is a LEGENDARY SOLO, a highly inspired moment in the history of music. And one has to understand the complexity of this solo as a piece of music of its own. And this transcription and performance by Mr. Zacoo is fantastic. What a wonderful job!!!! What bugs me really A LOT is to see so many dislikes. It is true that the vast majority of the input is POSITIVE, but why so many dislikes? What's wrong with people? Why can't they simply acknowledge the incredible work done by both Kirkland and his admirer?? Is it a cultural crisis?? Is it because the world is filled with mediocre people?? In any case, the video itself signifies HOPE. The dislikes, on the other hand, signify we still have way too much stupidity and ignorance around.

[@coverstephanel]

Ton commentaire est super, je pense pareil. Pour les mauvais commentaires, soit ce sont des idiots, soit ils ne comprennent rien à la bonne musique, soit ce sont des médiocres 😂😉

[@barrievee]

Legendary solo.. exactly this.

[@rawshockus]

Ah Kenny, my man. Kenny was a good friend of mine back in high school. Among the many great musician who were playing together at that time, he was always the most natural. He played as he breathed, effortlessly seemingly without a thought. The first time I heard this recording it was introduced on the radio by Elton John who was doing a guest DJ thing on one of the local rock stations. Elton said listen to this solo by the greatest piano player in the world. It was during the afternoon hours so he told all the housewives to dance their vacuum cleaners around the living room while Kenny wailed. This is an amazing solo by any standard and I thank Fabio Zacco for letting me SEE IT along with just hearing it. Kenny was a beautiful soul. Such a gentle, very funny person who never flaunted his prodigious talent. I had lost contact with him by the time I heard of his tragic early end, but I think of him often and miss his wonderful smile and mischievous dancing eyes. Thank you again Fabio for keeping a part of Kenny alive.

[@barrievee]

Lovely personal anecdote ~ I listen to Kenny's astonishing live improvised solo (and this superb demonstration of it) regularly ~ Lifts me every single time! The universe blessed us with Kenny Kirkland!

[@rawshockus]

Still astonished every time I hear this wonderful performance and miss Kenny all the more when I think what the world lost when we lost him. Thanks for your reply and your appreciation of this genius.@@barrievee

[@lechtrzeciak6084]

One of the greatest piano solos ever

[@nilslawrence]

Unbelievable! My favorite solo ever. You nailed it note for note 🙌🏼

[@superman00001]

Wow, that is impressive. Can you believe that KK improvised it?! It was a breathtaking solo. Absolutely magical. I’ll never forget the first time I heard it.

[@debiterrell-d2v]

i am not a renowned musician but i have musicians ears. when i first heard this solo, my instincts figured this was impromptu and totally improvised by the great KK, God rest his soul. This concert will forever be #1 piano all around the world.

[@superman00001]

@@debiterrell-d2v Yes, it was improvised. It was astonishing.

[@scottgoldstein6074]

Who are the 91 people that don't like this??? Geez.... GREAT JOB! One of my favorite solos on any song by any artist and you nailed it.

[@ComerciaisTV]

One of most emblematic solos and incredible solos of humanity!

[@jimleveilleur2510]

bravo ! really

[@fredericbenucci]

LEGENDARY SOLO : incredible, terrific, ... god bless you mister Fabio ZACCO. Just one !!!!!

[@marcoperriello6482]

Best Performance heard

[@marcoperriello6482]

Wonderful!

[@mattihuhta7871]

Possibly the greatest piano solo ever. Good job!

[@DameTremonti]

That's some top serious playing. Much respect my friend. Brilliant.

[@chris240303]

Yes, actually, WHAT A WONDERFUL JOB YOU DID ON THAT SOLO !!!..Congratulations from France! I love this solo and you actually sound like Kenny !!! AWESOME !!!🤩😉

[@marcoselmermk6]

This has just blown my mind into a trillion pieces!! (BTW I saw the Madrid leg of the Bring On The Night tour where Kenny and Branford played with Sting). Cannot believe the fidelity of this transcription.. Am BEYOND impressed with this posting!!

[@boriskleiner9553]

This is the best solo I ever heard about this song. Really impressive very very very good

[@emiliovaldes9503]

The best solo piano in the universe! Kenny we love you! I miss you brother!

[@skioakenfull]

one of my all time favourite solos. what a fantastic testament to K Kirkland RIP. Brilliant work!

[@mattvalenz001]

Amazing! I loved Kenny Kirkand's solo on this song in Bring on the Night and you did it justice, fantastic job!!!

[@AndyDacoulis]

Beautifully done ! Congrats !

[@rorycameron8522]

THAT is my favourite solo outside the genius of Oscar Peterson, and your stunning ability to play it is astonishing! Thank you for your frankly amazing talent.

[@fabiozacco]

Thank you very much!! 🙏

[@barrievee]

Very nicely done! One of my favourite piano solos of all time.. By one of the all-time great players.. Respect and rock on in Peace brother Kenny Kirkland!

[@fabiozacco]

Thank you! 🙏

[@barrievee]

@@fabiozacco Very welcome brother! Probably the greatest Jazz-Pop fusion piano solo ever, and certainly my all-time favourite piano solo.. I was fortunate enough to see the Sting 'Blue Turtles' band live.. twice.. unforgettable..

[@fabiozacco]

@@barrievee Yes, it's a solo where everything is in it. Groove, phrasing and lots of heart. Incredible if you consider that Kenny improvised it... I just tried to study it in the most respectful way possible.

[@barrievee]

@@fabiozacco This. Yes ~ incredible ~ Kenny Kirkland jammed it! ! Improvisation ~ with heart.. In the zone? KK transcended the material world entirely with this.. and.. You've done a very fine job here brother @fabiozacco !

[@barrievee]

@@fabiozacco Would I be right in thinking you added a few (also very nicely done) flourishes here and there?

[@marketingenelparque]

Flawless! I grew up with this album and admiring each note of this solo, a true masterpiece. Bravo!

[@stephenyount3148]

When you listen to the song you really don't realize just how long the solo is. Kenny really cut loose. Nice job recreating this classic solo from a iconic song, you're definitely an accomplished player..

[@guidorosa8792]

Bravissimo, adoro questo solo, ogni nota e ogni pausa...complimenti, grande lavoro!

[@ekathe85]

This should be study material for every jazz keyboardist. Stuff like 1:09 to 1:13, I could never figure out where the hell he pulled that out of. Like Sting said himself, this solo makes you feel life is worth living. Oh, and your rendition is fucking perfect, by the way

[@PawelLeszczynskipav]

Kenny's technique is absolutely second to none as well.

[@guidorosa8792]

Bravissimo!!! Grandissimo lavoro!!! Un solo che ha lasciato un segno nella storia della musica moderna. Sicuramente hai portato a casa un sacco di scoperte, da esplorare. Bravo

[@DineshNandan]

one of the greatest solos of all time and you nailed it. walk tall, my friend, b/c you did this!

[@KitCotter]

I know this is old, now, but you NAILed it, Bro !

[@christophemagnan-bosse6313]

the best version on youtube so far. Great job!

[@juusomiquel2969]

At its best when you mix jazz into pop music, one the solos that will never grow old, there is so much rhytm in this solo too !

[@finetunelife4065]

Minds-Blowing job FZ! #RIP Kenny Kirkland!

[@buazl1]

this is absolutely insane - never thought someone could cover this great Kenny-solo - Chapeau e auguri, Fabio!

[@dreamtreater]

Wow!! Incredibly well done!! I was asked to do something similar soon so I found you. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. Also, why are so many people here complimenting Kenny instead of you, must be a little mistake.

[@fabiozacco]

Thank you! 🙏

[@cbrummitt3]

Damn!!!! Absolutely awesome playing.

[@grxengine]

Ok. ok. whew....ok. I am trying to wrap my mind around this. It's one of the greatest solos I had ever heard when I heard it new and you are able to PLAY it NOTE for NOTE. OMG! I am still not comprehending this.

[@crisismanager]

Unbelievable! Very very well done!

[@petewilliams901]

your feel is perfect well done Fabio! and to make it look easy like that even kenny didn't do it like that but hey let's face it he did a different solo in every country every gig but you mastered it man respect is due to you for that salute

[@friliver]

troppo bravo, mi sto levando la vita a farlo, :-)))))

[@MattiaR1]

bring on the night del 1986 mi ha sempre fatto impazzire ed il solo di piano del buon kirkland è davvero eccellente. tu fai davvero spavento!!! davvero impressionante.BRAVISSIMO. complimenti di gran cuore. mattia

[@DihelsonMendonca]

Good Job! That must have been very difficult to learn and memorize all solo. Congratulations !

[@enricocavasino3642]

THANKS FOR THE PRESENT FABIO !!! " FABIOLOUS DONE"" KENNY WILL BE HAPPY TO LISTEN TO THIS ON HEAVEN .

[@lauripekonen3402]

Those 16th runs.. gratefully I was able to see Kenny play this live with Sting at Turku in 1996 and it was absolutely insane.

[@marcguitarplayer]

I'm a guitar player, but this solo it´s amazing! tnxs for this video Regards from Brazil!

Well done!

[@ASvanRandwijck]

I do not know whether or not I responded earlier but this is one of the most percussive, harmonically completely outside 'tension and relief' pianiosolo's I ever heard by Kenny and I am completely blasted away by the fact that you choose it to play, the EXCELLENT way you play it and the way you perfomed it in general. Deep respect

[@j.o5717]

Fabio, you are a genius!

[@christoskyrkilis]

Really Nice. And this is the solo I would like my life to be changed!

[@arnulforosas941]

Great job!

[@daniel-sage]

Fantastic (understatement)! Was just wondering if you would ever film it again or filmed the fingering (from above) so we can see how Great you do it and can learn such techniques by watching (from the above the piano pov). I met Kenny "The Doctone" once and he was a one of a kind (and very humble). Always wanted to learn this (or parts of it) to allow what's in my head to be translated into my fingers with this kind of incredible improv jazz! If you'll ever play it (even just for a quick email link or something), would make a HUGE difference in my Musical Journey! Many Thanks and Outstanding job!

[@milosskokovic7325]

That blew me away. I’m a guitarist but I’d like to have a go at this on the piano. Have you ever tried putting this into a daw and then share. I’d use that to learn it. ♥️

[@tonypepperoni4706]

Had to learn this when I was 16 for my band… goddamn what was the teacher thinking. Couple years removed I rlly gotta go back and properly learn it
