a perfect 4!
by 2jazz on 2010-07-02The Centre In Vancouver For Performing Arts - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5No, not their rating as this band goes beyond all superlatives! Just that it is amazing to see 4 utterly perfect musicians on the same stage. This had to be the highlight of the festival, how could it be topped! Hiromi is the very best jazz pianist I have ever heard who simply cannot contain her passion for the music, ranging from sweetly lyrical to powerful explosions. Sirota on keyboard took us on a magical mystery tour with the most innovative playing, producing sounds I would have not thought possible. Bruner Jr. on drums, wow, how can someone so young already be such a gigantic talent, drum solos to take your breath away. Stanley Clarke, say no more, a true jazz genius. I have never heard anyone play bass like him, giving us a truly unique and beautiful electric bass solo but his ultimate genius of course is in the magic he produces from this gifted band. I consider myself lucky, luck, lucky to have heard this band and can't wait to hear them again next year!
