ça chante! ça joue, ils ont le sourire, moi je dis c'est cool! le Gospel est à tout le monde depuis 1848, au plus tard, mais en fait depuis toujours Continuez Peace N Love!
Musically this is wildly successful. But topically, it's woefully off. A make a Scofield-esque funk-gospel out of "Nobody knows...", which appears to be all about the music-making is just spectacularly missing the point. It's not a song that's meant to impress but speak of the deepest and darkest times people have gone through. (In any case quite unimaginably dark times, for our generations.)
Cultural Appropriation is a hot topic now. The way I look at it is that you ought to educate yourself and that is your very own responsibility. I do not know the original but have heard the Louis Armstrong version, the ones of Leena Horne, Sam Cooke and many others. They all may have different musical relevance and importance but they all have a deeper feeling and arguably a political stance. This version here is very artistically free and jazzy but perhaps not as politically relevant or poignant. Musically it is valuable and exciting nonetheless.
Talented singers and musicians for sure but the context of the song is woefully maligned in this rendition. A song about suffering and heartache during the time of slavery should not be sung as if its a Disney Original imho.
I think they don't have the feeling required for the song. Being a sad spiritual song about black slavery, they (it will sound racist) are too white to performe it with the feeling that it requires.
Jazz For Two Troubles show feelings (thing they're not showing while singing), they sing it like you're talking about pizza party and sunny days, and it's all the opposite. So yes, troubles have no color, but this song have not feelings inside.
If I am white you tell me I don't know suffering, and that is wrong... and if I am black, you tell me all I know is suffering, and that is wrong... if I am Asian, you may not say anything. The point of the song, long ago and now, is that suffering is highly individual, and no one knows what is in the heart of a person except the spirit of the person that dwells within them.
This is so brilliant - all of you!!! Especially the Organ Player Fabrizio Ginoble. I play Piano in a Gospel Choir.
Your music touched me so hard, I had to cry..

too "white"
Could you elaborate please ?
Un tantino troppo lunga l'introduzione alla pianola, anche se moooolto professionale, per il resto è una versione bella e interessante. Bravi!
