Please, please more of these videos! Just super!
Re: VIDEO: R. Kelly's Backstage Tour Diary
So, first the man alone. His technique, classically learned and jazzily expanded, is beginning to sound effortless along with being virtuosic, steve madden shoes and that makes for a less knotted brow when listening – and a broader smile, too. The opener is the light-stepping Little People – lyrical, joyous and showing some Petrucianni influence, marc jacobs shoes and he follows it with a jazz interpretation of a bit of the Grieg piano concerto. The stately opening chords are exquisitely stated, slow and pensive, and the improvisation remains classically voiced with the heart very much worn on the sleeve but no blues or jazz-inflected tricksiness. That shows the maturity of the man. He quickly moves on to playing the whole piano – casing as well as deadened strings – in a funky intro to On Broadway before making it sound like a piece for two pianos. He continues with three insightful improvisations and two more solo compositions, liz claiborne shoes one dedicated to those two passed masters, Jaco and Joe.
