I just have to add this. Notice (1) how Hitomi watches closely Brendan's tempo & improv while she is still playing blindly with her two hands. That's technique's mastery. And (2) how she moves left on her seat to let B seat next to her. But B, very tactfully, does not seat to allow her full control and, enhance her interpretation of Georgia but without 'taking over.' All of this and more, with music, but without a word spoken. That's musical respect between two superb musicians that have never met! I will hear more from Hitomi Kawasaki's jazz even if I have to learn Japanese. PS: She has a home in Tokyo, another in Rome, and another in London. She's well-to-do, but very classy and humble. A great musician! Brendan adapted perfectly to her soft, slow mood & tempo. Notice at the end, when Hitomi puts her hands on her lap indicating she's about to finish, Dr K does a descending finishing scale, while Hitomi keeps his rhythm with her head and immediately imitates it but with blues chords while they both finish on the same note... very softly. [Brendan has an immense musical versatility, sense of rhythm, and musical adaptation that's often overlooked by the not-so-musically inclined because of his intense like for the over-the-top dynamic boggie-woggie.] Hitomi is a very humble and classy lady, besides having such profound sense of jazz tempo, rhythm, softness touch, and self-control. Hitomi's placing her hands on her lap to indicate to BK that she is over, and now the 'finale' to close, is simply genial!
@@michaelfotenopulos3711 Look at 2:59 how she gives Dr K a quick one second smile of approval, and how she is keeping rhythm with her left foot toes, totally understated (not like our beloved, over-the-top Dr K) but musically wise nevertheless. Different cultures, different mannerisms. Vive la difference!

Absolutely beautiful jazz! Loved her slow, blues tempo. She is so gifted. I have to hear more jazz from Hitomi. Brendan's improv was also exquisite. Not overwhelming at all, but just enhancing her jazz here and there. Amazing duet!
Ohhh Dr. K & Hitomi, this was truly beautiful and magical! Dr. K, I admired how you respected Hitomi's talent and allowed her to shine. Much love to you both! ❤️🇨🇦
The way she played Georgia on my mind was gorgious ! Soft, sweet and slow, like one of the best blues numbers ever written by Maria Muldaur ("Sweet & Slow") ! Very sensual ! At the (Japanese) girl ! She was absolutely top with Dr. K in duet and the most amazing thing is that Dr. K immediately adapts into this soft mood. Imagine he would kick the keys like he does in duet with Terry Miles !
The song Sweet and Slow was written by Harry Warren and Al Dubin and was first recorded by Will Osborne and His Orchestra in 1935. Maria Muldaur covered and released it in 1993. I should do my research before posting, yes. That doesn't take away the fact that the version of Georgia on My Mind by Dr. K and that Japanese woman is equally sweet and slow, sweeter & slower than Ray Charles's version.
I agree! Brendan adapted perfectly to her soft, slow mood & tempo.

Well, that was a Kodak moment. Just the facial features, her intensity and calmness blew me away while never faltering that perfect Georgia rendering with Dr.K. That was an incredible performance.
The lady played this Ray Charles piece beautifully and Dr.K added his expertise. I will look her up as I believe she is very good. The weather in England is apparently very cold - here in Sth Aust. the weather is cool and quite unusual for February.
Damn that was amazing to watch theres nothing more like going to your street piano and meet new people with great skills and playing styles Amazing Love this song Great Jazz !!!!
Just for the record, Georgia On My Mind was by Hoagy Carmichael, and pre-dates Ray Charles's recording by 30 years! It was already a well covered jazz standard.
That's because music is instilled in them very early on. Even their education system places a strong emphasis on music starting at kindergarten. Long ago America did the same thing, but now the emphasis is on gender-this, race-that, etc. As a result, America has lost all sense of "culture."

Eine tolle Musikerin !
You're right Jaime, music can do that. Without "speaking to one another", music can do all the talking..!

What a fabulously expressive pianist she is. Very talented indeed. Perfect musical partner for our maestro Brendan. What a duet! Loved it.
She is really talented. I like the way she improvises her own style in the song.
This is the most wonderful way that people can communicate with each other
Good Morning Dr . K

Yes Dr K.... Hitomi's rendition of "Georgia" was just.... awesome😀
Absolutely beautiful jazz! Loved her slow, blues tempo. She is so gifted. I have to hear more jazz from Hitomi. Brendan's improv was also exquisite. Not overwhelming at all, but just enhancing her jazz here and there. Amazing duet!
I could listen to it all day long. And I often do.

“Georgia on My Mind” was written in 1930 by Carmichael with his roommate, lyricist Stuart Gorrell

Dr. K is a great improviser and entertainer but this time it is Hitomi who brings the tears tot my eyes. What timing, what delicate touch.
AND changing her style of playing to fit in with Dr Ks improvisation. I LUV IT
Wonderful, talented jazzy Japanese lady.
TOTALLY AWESOME THANK YOU BOTH!!!
2:58 That smile says it all!!
Another bright moment is spontaneity! Beauty blossoms in hidden places.
Just so beautiful. A very talented lady. Such a great duet. Thanks, Dr. K.
Musical communication, it brought me to tears, just beautiful 🙂
Well, that was a Kodak moment. Just the facial features, her intensity and calmness blew me away while never faltering that perfect Georgia rendering with Dr.K. That was an incredible performance.
Clapping for such a great sound, thank you so much! Very great southern soul feeling in the music.
Wow I was there today. This is seriously GOOD.
Jazz and Dixie land music is big in Japan. There are jazz music clubs everywhere.
Oh! Goosebumps as she duetted!
Such a talented and lovely lady.
Exquisite.She gave lyrical space for the melody to be heard.A true jazzer.made me hungry to sing! Kudos to both.
One of the best videos I've seen. completely magic playing by both
Such class and serenity
Pure harmony in like minds..
Simply terrific! Two very talented people, melding on a lovely tune!❤️👏👏
She's great!!!..Love it!!!!!
每次聽到大師級的演奏真是令人耳目一新🎉
兩歲時更好
A beautiful rendition.
Wow, how come they never play this in my mall ? She is wonderful and the duo is simply great.
Merci !
❤❤ like to hear more of Hitomi ❤❤ 😊
Thats great! Love the style! Cant find anything of her anywhere!!
Try typing her name (Hitomi) on TH-cam and see what you get. Might find her.
@@knightdragon5640 already did, got videos my wife would not have appreciated! Not a piano player in sight!!
@@STANLIZ4 Well, it was worth a try! 🤷♀️
Agreed! Thanks for your suggestion
I can almost tell she's Japanese immediately from her look :) Great performance!
Simply beautiful - two artists perfectly in sync!
Simply wonderful. Proof that the world should all learn music and play from our hearts.
This was just beautiful. Loved her playing and you joining in to her playing. Fantastic.
Finally got some Ray Charles!
Play “Mess Around” by Charles next!
She's so elegant!
The lady played this Ray Charles piece beautifully and Dr.K added his expertise. I will look her up as I believe she is very good.
The weather in England is apparently very cold - here in Sth Aust. the weather is cool and quite unusual for February.
Fascinating to watch the interaction....so lovely to see how two different people meet and blend so flawlessly.
Bravo! Great duo!
Superb soulful playing.
Damn that was amazing to watch
theres nothing more like going to your street piano and
meet new people with great skills and playing styles
Amazing Love this song Great Jazz !!!!
Just for the record, Georgia On My Mind was by Hoagy Carmichael, and pre-dates Ray Charles's recording by 30 years! It was already a well covered jazz standard.
He plays the high end of the piano excellent!! 😍 Not easy to make those high notes sound beautiful💞🎶🎶💕 accompanying someone else on the piano👏🏼👏🏼
The Japanese carry music in their veins❤
That's because music is instilled in them very early on. Even their education system places a strong emphasis on music starting at kindergarten. Long ago America did the same thing, but now the emphasis is on gender-this, race-that, etc. As a result, America has lost all sense of "culture."
A match made in Heaven. That is Soul music. So moving.
I’ve watched most of DrKs posts ,for me this ranks as one of the coolest
Japanese people are the softest and most polite people. Their country speaks for it self. Clean, culture and food.
Completely different from the Chinese
There are no language barriers with music. Thank You Dr K for bringing Music to the People!🙌👍👍
FANTASTIC ❗️
Caught her a little off guard, but she immediately sized up the situation and she never missed a beat.
📻🙂
Вие сте просто невероятни! Мога само да мълча и да слушам. Пожелавам успехи и на двама ви.👍👍🙌🙌🎹🎹🇧🇬
Sehr gut formuliert ! Grüße aus COLONIA !
Just wonderful thank you both!
Love it !!!
Heart and soul.
OMG! Heitomi was amazing!!!
This video makes me happy.
Beautiful! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brendan can make the piano talk. Sheer genius!
I like the way she play and talk, slow sweet and beautiful, such a elegant lady!!
Simply wonderful. Just what the world needs.
Awesome.
Merveilleux !❤️
Love that unique sound .... some day if i could
What an amazing groove…beautiful.
London's best musical attraction! We're returning to London for a 7th or 8th time and KingsCross and Dr. K is on our list!
I always tear up when I hear that song. That was beautifully done.
This is great 👍
When I was in Japan 30 years ago, the malls played instrumental jazz which was surprising and wonderful.
so beautiful!!
Music is a language of its own. No words needed, beautiful, just completely understood.
I can't stop watching this!
I was live when she showed up. I had been waiting for this video. Thanks for the intorduction.
Utterly wonderful.
🌎.. This Lady's What's Referred To As A "CLASS ACT"..☀
Beautiful Music. Flawlessly Played..🪐🌠
Une intégration particulièrement bien réussie. Bravo
It's so wonderful to arrive or leave out at St Pancras Station and listen to someone playing at this great piano donated by Elton John!
breathtaking
Великолепно и очень гармонично сыграно ❤
Love the music Thanks
Great stuff young lady
Brendan você é um mestre.

Dr. K - the range of your talent is incredible! Thank you for starting my day with happy. Linda - New Freedom PA
Whoa-whoa, Georgia

No peace, no peace I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
♥ ♥ ♥ FROM 🇺🇸 KANSAS CITY GREETINGS
Beautiful 🎹🎶

Look Hiomi up on youtube using 川崎 日登美. Georgia on My Mind was written by Hoagy Carmichael.
Nice and cool jazzy tune! Awesome jamming by Brendan as well!
