JAZZ MEETS THE CLASSICS: ROSSANO SPORTIELLO / NICKI PARROTT at FILOLI (July 29, 2012)

[@Silverlining1111]

Thank god I can watch it in 2024, for the first time. It’s strange when the composer change, the vibe change. And mr Sportiello aligned them perfectly. ❤

Only discovered Nikki Parrott today and then found this gem of improvisation. Wonderful!

[@SeanVplayer]

I have only recently discovered Nicki myself via a instructional video on playing double bass. While I benefited from seeing this, it has impacted my practicing since I can't get enough of watching every performance she has been video taped in. She is an amazing talent!! And SO Lovely! And she sings so Beautifully!! She brings such wonderful Energy to the music she plays!

Wow I Love these Two Great Duo!! Tks Rossano and Nicki

[@spidermandel]

This guy moves effortlessly between classical and jazz piano. It's a marvelous performance. Watch it when you have 17 minutes without interruption. What a talent.

[@DevonDandy]

The first is from kinderszenen, Schumann, and then to Chopin and then I think Bach. Well worth 17mins of your time especially accompanied by the ever smiling Nicki, thanks for posting

Délicatesse et finesse. Superbe.

[@ljummen]

Just wonderful! Schubert and some great jazz improvisations just as Friedrich Gulda the only comparable pianist who could fuse classical and jazz in this briliant way.

[@igotbluesdevils]

Grandissimo Rossano :D

[@karlhungus5554]

Obviously, Nicki is a fantastic bassist. But, she's also so beautiful that I can't keep my eyes off her. Plus, she always looks like she's having a great time.

[@mmffxx]

良い雰囲気です

[@Thursdaym2]

Think Rossano is the greatest of modern jazz pianists. As for Nicki...wow and a wonderful bass player.

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW Incredible music from two musical superstars ( they should be,in my opinion ) What type of recording equipment was used as the sound quality is amazing. Form a 71yo Aussie fan---hope we see Nicki & Rossano live in Australia soon.

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

When Mr. Sportiello dies, Schumann, Chopin and all these guys will welcome him at heaven's door, and he will have to take part in a great jam session.

[@elconquistador98]

MrJimmienoone Awwwww

[@elinorhackett2352]

[@elinorhackett2352]
