Lova this band so much. Are they still active?

Grande Mal Maiz!

Awesome... I do really like the Groove and the leadvoc..... great band!! and: Less is more!!

I’m convinced the voicing is all marketing. One too bright one too dull and one just right. If you give people a choice they’ll choose one rather than a different brand altogether.

This about sums it up in a nutshell about Steinway: On the whole, I would not spend money (if I was rich, which I am not) on buying a Steinway. The tone of the piano, especially the bass, is so hollow, metallic and strange-sounding that it just puts me off. Steinway sounds like a piano with no soul to me. Now it might be possible that it was only in that shop that the Steinways sounded that way, but a few years ago I had played on another Steinway in a shop in London, this one a restored antique, and I remember being distinctively unimpressed with the tone. I am much happier with the tone of my 1894 Broadwood grand. I am also keen on trying out Bösendorfer and Fazioli pianos for the first time. Other modern grand piano brands I’ve tried are Yamaha, Kawai, Petrof and Samick, and I never got that hollow, soulless quality from them, although I did find one particular Yamaha (in a small recital someone else gave) to be overly harsh and discordant. I remember having a good impression of my teacher’s Petrof. I tried a Bluthner once, and I liked the tone at first but after a few minutes I started to get tired of it for some reason. The best piano I have ever played in my life is an original early 19th century Rosenberger fortepiano, in the former Finchcocks collection, but of course that’s a fortepiano rather than a modern piano. That for me was the most perfect instrument ever. So to answer your question, no, Steinways are not the best modern pianos. They just have a monopoly of the industry. They’re quite a nasty and shady company if you ask me (I don’t like the way they promote themselves and the way they sponsor pianists and then sue them if they don’t behave). And after playing on their underwhelming pianos I am even more put off by them, not just because of the tone, but because I was a little weirded out by the narcissistic sales talk (the sales guy was nice, but some of his sales talk still creeped me out). This was in a shop on the top floor of a shopping mall in a very desirable and expensive location (I won’t say where). The shop was shiny and fancy like a five star hotel, and the salesman, whom I suspect they hired in no small part for his good looks, was immaculately attired in a navy jacket. This shows that when you buy Steinway, you pay not simply for the instrument but also their advertising, their fancy deco, their expensive rents etc. That’s why they are expensive.

So much money, so limited thinking. Totally agree a Mason & Hamlin should at least have been considered (maybe it was and it is simply not shown). Pianos are very very very susceptible to adjustment; which many may refer to as prepping the instrument. Obviously tunning, but also adjusting the action, voicing (Simone knows, she has ears and knows instruments inside and out), and tremendously the relationship between the instrument and the hall (or room) where it will be played. If this process were to be done right, you would try multiple pianos in the hall (not at the seller's), over a period of at least several weeks, and have the pianos extensively prepped. Some of the characteristics you can hear in the little excerpts make me suspicious than some of the pianos were deliberately prepped poorly so that one of the pianos would stand out as the best of the lot.

I'm a dyed in the wool lifetime Steinway partisan (I own a Steinway made in the 1930s) and I didn't like any of these pianos. They don't build them the way they used to. They all sounded too bright, metallic, and bereft of timbral nuance. I found this entire video depressing.

Waw waw grand Maestro Assane bégué 💥💯✌🏽

That scream was legit

That was amazing 🤩 absolutely beautiful

Very nice performance, please come to Seattle

She sings from the heart. I can’t believe I never heard of them till today. They fall in line with Durand Jones and the indications. This band should be all over the radio with a hit like this.

Our 2 year old grandbaby ADORES this!❤❤❤

VPR is trash and so is this band.

This band is super dope but that rhythm section is really forcing the pace of these tunes from their recordings.

By far the best Steinway experience I have had was listening to beethoven sonatas played on a model 'D' tuned to Kirnberger III well-temperament. The sound was spectacular and very musical. there was a third dimension to the music which is absent with equal temperament.

I’m really impressed not only the band & bands recording at the fort Vt sound , visual, interviews all real & real good, fro soulful bliss to newer style punk , honker Tonk great blueG country with a pleasant sound crip and yes real! Hats off to mushrooms and the Fort for the great job studio recordings sound immaculate! No question! I’m not afraid to listen to anything actually opposite looking for more Fort or VPR recordings from Vt and the Fort! ❤. Great recordings and then some and really love ya all, stand higher than many studios , no question to me! Thank you All ! 💕🌈 , bands and sound or mixers! X2 real great quality 🎉, wow! ❤

Greatness from the mixing and musicians to the video recordings and the Sax player Joe is awesom let alone Dave Keller and Band, these guys and girls can really make one’s day and make one forget about the actual world out there! Caring community no doubt! Thank you Dave Keller ! 🌈❤️🙏🏼🍀🎶✌🏼🎶 💕🥇gold Metal to me and the Blues world! I would bet on it’s an awesome recording and sound video sound musicians all entailed ! 💯 % no less! ❤

Just killin it

Love this band. Great writing, excellent musicianship. Thank you

I’d seen Nicole Nelson numerous times, and loved her! I have to admit she was better before her collaboration with Dwight. Their still pretty good together, but I don’t love Dwight’s voice or his guitar playing. Oh well

I’m not crazy about any of them. If I was going to buy a new Steinway D I would get one from the Hamburg factory. Better sound, action, and fit and finish. Or I would get a Fazioli, Shigeru Kawaii, handmade Yamaha, or C. Bechstein. Just my personal tastes though.

Doesn't have the magic of the album version - Perhaps the slower tempo

There’s no other acoustical instrument like a Steinway 9’ model D piano, it gives the pianist the lightning and the thunder and the rain

I like Kate Wright too. Same feel of music.

💜💜💜

Sweet

this rocks so hard!

Masters of Marketing: When there's this much inconsistency between the same top-end models, it is now a feature and not a bug.

Always hurts a little when I see it's not a Hamburg. (I'm not much into piano playing anymore, but I've since come to the conclusion that Faziolis are the best, above Hamburg Steinways)

So soulful.

Sold!

🖤

I love this band ❤️ As a drummer I can appreciate the dynamics of the drummer . Driving beat but tasteful

Female vocalist is great and the songwriting on her first verse is amazing. “All Praying to the lord, but the prayings ignored saying they should’ve been praying before” is one of my favorite lyrics ever

Excelllence !

heh! Thanks to the 29Apr Poetry Special online with Mitch and three notable poets with VT ties, the secret of this video's location on teh webz is OUT! It truly is a don't miss!
