DOCUMENTARY
Featuring Jill's fans on the streets in Paris
Okay, I rushed to get her cd on Tuesday!!!! I was so excited to see what her performance from her last cd would be like.
I WASNT DISAPPOINTED!! Girl has mad skills for real!! She can really sing and her band is on fire. I play the keys, so to see an artist that truly loves music and expresses that love is "lovely" to me. Yes these songs were not the current ones, but it still was the BOMB DIGGITY overall. The way she feels her songs to the point of crying, that surprises me.
I KNOW she knows those songs very well and she has rehearsed so many times but she sings them like it was her first concert performing those songs. She reminds me of Frankie Beverly in concert. That man still sings "we are one" like he just wrote it yesterday. THATS THE REAL THING which is Jill Scott. Oh and she explains what her words mean. I love that about her too!
As usual Jill put her magic touch in her music. She's wonderful as always
I'll admit it, I had never even heard of Jill Scott until I stumbled across her VH1 'Storytellers' performance. But about five seconds after she started singing, I thought 'holy ****, this gal is GOOD!' I watched the rest of that performance and I was just stunned by her artistry and vocal ability - and believe me, after three decades being a musician myself who's been exposed to all sorts of music, it's not often anymore that I'm impressed this way.
So I needed more, searched Amazon, and found this performance in Paris. Really great stuff! Jill is a multifaceted person, deep and in touch with herself, so she's able to fully put her heart and soul into her music, taking the listener/observer with her on a journey which is both emotional and intellectual. And not surprisingly, her music blends many influences - R&B, jazz, tender ballads, even elements of rock.
... stop reading this and just get the DVD! If you crave something authentic, moving, inspiring - in a word, REAL - this is it.
Love it!! You won't be mad if your friends purchase it after you share it with them. Everyone should have their own copy. It's grown folks stuff so make sure the kids are asleep or away when you watch it. Enjoy!!!
The beautiful spirit of this women carries through this dvd unselfishly with no compromises. During her welcome to the audience she explains with no apologies that this performance will be entertainment of pure artistry and the girl did not lie. Tremendously tight band with skills of their own are displayed when they are given solos. Jill jugs along slowly with the annoying half picture or patch camera work but as "The Fact Is (I Need You)" intro starts up the annoyance from the patchy camera work is quickly forgotten. This dvd brings back the good old scool jam sessions for grown folks with an up to date sound. Truly a well needed dvd, in todays times, for those who love real old school but want something new with artistry and spunk!
