Chick Corea meets Hiromi Uehara at Tokyo Jazz 2006

[@emb5091]

"She is one of my favorites." WOW!

[@josephgiarraffa6379]

I get the chills knowing Chick is gone My favorite Maestro He loved Hiromi’s playing she is a special gift

[@Glee73]

same here. i listened to a lot of chick growing up.

[@leonlee8524]

We're the only people in history who will have been alive at the same time as him and appreciated it.

[@juniperwoodgreen4090]

He's not gone, his music lives on and I can distinctly hear him playing in the stars between Mercury and Mars...

[@doyleeee]

Here is Hiromi's part translation. (my poor english tho) 0:39 When we met 10 years ago, I was too excited to remember anything, but this time I want to enjoy every note of him. 8:32 Mutual trust comes out in the sound. Each sound is a treasure and every moment is happiness for me.

RIP to a legend. His joy of music should remind us all of the small amount of time we get to enjoy the beauty we call life.

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

What a treat to hear two master pianists improvising off each other. Music making at this level is very rare.

[@ElectricCelt56]

Extraordinary. Impossible technique, laser perception, and fearless, playful, humility. These two spent a lifetime to find each other for a few moments of creation together.

[@xkuei]

Like children having fun in a musical playground Many years apart in age This is awesome

[@jcavilia1]

When they did this, he was 65 and she was 27.

[@Eduaro2U]

This is one those extra special, superbly special moments in the creative history of the planet that cannot be liked enough, or commented on enough, or praised highly enough. Such incredible interplay, skill, creativity and talent. Next level - plus a few hundred other levels!!!

[@rfdarsie]

Honestly, this isn't my favorite style of music, but I recognize greatness when I hear it.

[@aidanw6725]

[@ronald3921]

Same. Prefer Bach, Chopin or Beethoven but this is pretty captivating

[@GetOutsideYourself]

They need no translator. This is just pure playfulness, pure emotions. What a joy to watch.

[@Verasalama]

They are having a conversation so encrypted that only both of them know what they just said. That's something magical. We can have an idea of what they are designing with the sound, but it's like they are creating together this amazing story note by note. Bravo

[@ChimiMyChanga73]

She is utterly enchanting.

[@poosnip]

Her attack is quite different from his…. More mellow sound fro chick …. Age I guess

I'm laughing and crying at the same time from that performance. Just awesome. Made my day. Thanks for posting.

i want to have two pianos facing each other like this and some days when i come home i would like me and my wife to tell each other about our days like this.

[@LucBoeren]

Hahah that's a great idea

[@ArchieBC]

I’m a long-time fan of Chick’s genius, but I honestly enjoy Hiromi’s playing more. She’s born with a special connection to music.

[@jerzynoworol4424]

This is great! They speak the same wonderful language while playing.

Music is fleeting and ephemeral by nature. For all my discomfort with technology I’m deeply grateful that it’s been the key to capturing music’s moments to document, archive and bring delightful joy to the world who wants to listen just one more time to sounds that erupted in the distant corners of time and space on this planet.

[@fishdrew1111]

By far the best thing about KZbin!

Spellbinding! What a gift they both have. But it didn’t just happen - this is years and years of dedicated work to be able to play so ‘effortlessly’.

[@praali9939]

Oh my lord. at 7:32, Hiromi's Csus2 arpeggio and Chick's stacked fourths dropped my jaw, then the blindingly fast scales knocked me out cold. This performance brought an actual tear to my eye. Well played!!

Summertime is perfectly expressive of how it's like for me to order food. one moment this item the next moment another item and 10 mins later it's like "i know! i'll order pizza!"

[@oughtssought1198]

so many eloquent comments speak for me here and I'm more or less unspeakably grinning from ear to with tears of joy rolling every time I hear Hiromi play ... w/ tongue coyly in cheek I'll note that Chick is pretty good too, & trust all here will see that for the jokingly huge understatement it is I noticed while reading here what I've noticed at times elsewhere; some artists emit so much talent+kindness their pages remain troll free after watching this twice thru the thought comes to mind that a person living this joyfully with this much intelligence & the dietary wisdom of Japan seems likely to live to be 130 or 140, w/o starting to lose her chops until her age reaches 3 digits

[@Argonaut121]

I've seen Corea multiple times and Hiromi just a couple but this is just such a treat.

[@raulmacias6146]

Such beautiful and wonderful musical games by Chick and Hiromi!

[@stephengolden6080]

Two greats making beautiful music together!🎹 🎹👍🙂✌

[@gerhardbitter1581]

They interact perfectly together. In 15:24 Hiromi deliberately plays a note "out of scales" several times. Chick responds and continues this note. This is unique and only possible in jazz. They play on a form, but cannot be restricted in their musical freedom. As a Greek philosopher said: "Art is freedom in form". It is precisely this deliberately "wrong note" from Hiromi that makes art.

😱😱😱 I saw Hiromi in a small theatre in Kochi, Japan playing solo for 2 hours. There was maybe 50-70 people in the room. She blew our minds - all with that perpetual smile on her face. (For frame of reference, this is like seeing her in a Lion’s Club meeting house in Fresno, California. 😂) God only knows what they paid this world-class Jazz pianists … but I’m sure it definitely wasn’t enough.

I still can't believe Chick Corea has passed on! I bought Corea's "Piano Improvisations Vol. 1" today, February 8, 2023, at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, CA. I especially love "Noon Song", "Song Of The Wind", "Sometime Ago" and "Where Are You Now? Picture 8". I had the distinct honor of shaking hands with and complimenting Chick after a "Return To Forever" gig, at Doug Weston"s Troubadour in West Hollywood, on August 18,1974. What a magical night!

[@gerhardbitter1581]

Sie interagieren perfekt zusammen. In 15:24 spielt Hiromi ganz bewusst mehrmals eine Note "out of Scales". Chick geht darauf ein und führt diese Note weiter. Das ist einzigartig und nur im Jazz möglich. Sie spielen über eine Form, lassen sich aber nicht ihrer musikalischen Freiheit beschränken. Wie sagte schon ein griechischer Philosoph: "Kunst ist die Freiheit in der Form". Und gerade diese bewusst "falsche Note" von Hiromi macht die Kunst aus.
