And again, Grace Vanderwaal, this time live in Austin: Grace Vanderwaal: "Talk good"Especially this song reminds me on Alanis Morissette. Can't wait for her first full Album, scheduled for November, 3 2017. This 13-year-old restored my interest in Pop-Music.

I have got a ticket for 12/17/2017 in Oberhausen, Germany. I wonder if other Members of this Board got a ticket for this Tour? If they are attending Oberhausen, too, maybe we could arrange a meeting?

Maybe its time for eating Crows... I found this...I tried to translate the report (or at least the piece about Emily) with a little help from Google: “But already at 8:00 P.M. it began to rain heavily. Nevertheless, as far as the umbrellas allowed, the crowd pushed forward to admire the almost 16-year-old jazz pianist Emily Bear, who has already played for Barak Obama, at Carnegie Hall, and in Montreux. And that was really worth it: More pristine Jazz was not heard this year at the Blues'n'Jazz-Fesival. With incredibly ease and sovereignty, their hands flew over the keys, the young American seemed completely relaxed. Likewise, she introduced her songs: the following song was for Grandma, she had written it as a nine-year-old, and was dedicated to her mentor Quincy Jones. At all, her appearance aroused a light-heartedness, which enthralled the audience from the beginning. The teenager, her bassist and the percussionist were sure of the applause. Meanwhile, on the “fish market” place, Popa Chubby at the same time played his loud and wild bluesrock - which is a contrast to Bear's intimate jazz play.”

Ok, lets face it: This concert in Switzerland is a Flop. No press, no TV, nothing on Social Media, no Smartphone-Vids on Youtube, as of 11:00 A.M. on Sunday - it seems that the audience wasn't impressed. As I see it, no Reason for a Party....

Thats really funny: My last Search for Emily Bear on Youtube revealed... that there would be a Livestream of Emily's concert! Of course its not so simple, first you have to click a link to subscribe for.... uhm... nothing but a Chance to lose your money if you give them access to your Credit Card Account, I would suspect. I really hope that there will be good videos of the event, German TV did a good job in Stuttgart 2015, so I hope for similiar recordings from Swiss...

Here is a n new Interview with WBGO: WBGO InterviewEmily Bear performs at the St. Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church in New York City on Saturday. One of ten composers commissioned to create music for the event. Bear will present the first choral piece she’s ever written. “I wouldn’t say I’ve had my success so now I’m done. I’m at the beginning of my journey right now and there’s a lot I’m looking forward to be doing.”

As far as I can see, there has been no discussion, or a Review of Emily‘s EP on this Board. For me, its a bit surprising, because a lot of time has passed since “Diversity”. I guess, we all awaited the new Album eagerly.
If so, why this Silence on all channels? Is there really no more to say then “I have mine, and I am satisfied?” Although my English isn’t that good, I will try to express my Impressions as accurate as possible.
For me, this EP is a mixed Bag. Here is why. The List should help to form simple Sentences:
1. First I want to say that I am mostly interested in Jazz. 2. These recordings are probably the result of a single recording Session. May be there were planned more, but that never happened. So it was not possible to reject the weaker Tracks. 3. In my Opinion, this weaker Tracks are “Indigo” and especially “Araignee”, because this tune is for a movie and not really a Jazz tune. 4. Tunes like “134 West” (a better fit for the EP, in my Opinion) and her last version of “Old Office” (as you can see on Youtube) have proven that Emily has further developed since 2015, and I wish to hear the Emily from 2017, not from 2015 with tunes she wrote years ago. Perhaps I am to impatient…
That said, over all, I don’t regret that I bought the Album. Compare it with other Jazz Pianists, and you will get an idea of what Emily has accomplished when she was 14 Years old. And I prefer to play Music from my Stereo Unit rather than from Youtube. I am awaiting the things to come, especially a Jazz-CD with more and fresh Tracks. But, of course, I am looking forward to her Pop-CD too. I will give it a try. It was long ago that I purchased a Pop-CD!

I wrote a Review for Amazon Germany. For all of you who are familiar enough with the german Language, feel free to comment. I will try to post a Review in English here in the next days. It will take a bit time... Link:

For me, it is not really a sensation - she seemed always a bit ahead for her age...
