I’m sure that many of you would agree with me about that. I kinda like this performance more than others I’ve seen for a few reason.


Firstly, ‘Spain’ is also my favorite Chick Corea’s piece. Secondly, the way he perform with Hiromi has produced such a wonderful and unique mix of the western and eastern flavour. (even though what she played is not really eastern, but I still smell it!) Thirdly, I like how Chick Corea was so calm when he was performing versus Hiromi obviously tried to give her best shot. Anyway, I like this video so much that I would like this video to be the first performance video on this blog!





Performance Details:

Live in Tokyo on September 2nd-3rd 2006, at Tokyo Jazz Festival 2006 in Japan. Chick Corea and Hiromi Uehara play “Spain” (by Chick Corea). They played together again on September 2007.

Not all of them anyway, but they can just go to some places where their ‘teachers’ play and they just watch and listen for hours. They then try to catch it without talking or saying any word and go back home to practice.


If you are those kind of student, then this video should be able to give you something to chew. Misty is one of my favorite standard jazz piece and I really like the way it is played in this video. I only watched it a few times and I think I’ve learnt something already.


Doug McKenzie is the guy who produced this video. This is a ‘trio’ version of the ballad ‘Misty’ – with lots of extra information helpful to jazz piano students. You can also see more of his lessons at his site at http://web.newsguy.com/dougmck



There is a much clearer copy of the video for download, as well as a transcription, the midi file recored with the video, and an MP3 file of the bass and brushes backing he recorded separately. Check out his site.
