Yes, me too here. She is a mother now and it is surely a great experience to her. I hope we will hear more great music from her and I hope she will return to germany for some more great concerts. I'm a great fan of Jeff Buckley, Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell - and it is maybe too much for Becca to do justice to all of them, but there is no one who will do it better than her!

The greatest drummer in the world Brian Blade, plays with some of the greatest female singers in the world - Joni, Trixie Whitley and now Becca Stevens!! He knows his stuff (so does Scott Colley and of course Billy Childs!) Fabulous clip of a superb arrangement by Billy C - just wish this whole line-up would tour in Europe (or even just do one UK gig!) I'll more than make do with Becca and her band in 11 days time!!

The very best homage to Nyro's musical genius.. She got even better as she aged, but most casual music lovers listening to top 40 radio weren't aware of the person behind all those hit songs. In almost all cases, Nyro's own recordings of her songs surpassed the hits by those who did cover versions, including Streisand who sang "Stoney End".

The freneticism of her first say five albums will never be back could never be back how to work early on with the genius of New York, and LA musicians the wrecking crew for instance will never be heard again. She was a genius, and she was very young or old stuff I lost, but I still adore her. Listen to her all the time.

Cool to see her grow into the song more & more 2nd time thru. Awesome choice of instrumental mix for this gig. I'm loving the arrangements on the album & at Monterey, but extra fun to see in the Monterey vids how much fun the singers & players are having w/ this. Thank you for yr vision Mr. Childs. I'll be pointing my ears to yr other visions. And my wallet to this one.

Why is she smiling during this song? Laura sang this with balls. Not sure what this singer is doing or thinking. She's polite. She's not in the song - she's on the stage.

Singers don't inhabit Laura Nyro songs and pieces from her muses. Nyro and her muses inhabit those singers who allow their own experience tempered voices to find a flow of their own. It didn't take balls for Becca or any singer to perform and\or record a Nyro piece. It did take loving their love thing and trusting in the muse(s)...This is an extraordinary arrangement. While the vocal dynamics in the mix is not optimal, this is a live recording at Monterey Jazz and should be considered part of an experience that can never be repeated and shouldn't be made into any kind of simulacrum. Bravo to this group of courageous musicians and may their vulnerability show in long lives of making their own sounds a'musing...(Kudos minstrel Rev Alan Dick and Betsy Claussen of Trinity Arts Center, Berkeley, CA circa early 1980's into eternity) Mitch Ritter\Paradigm Sifters, Code Shifters, PsalmSong Chasers Lay-Low Studios, Ore-Wa (Refuge of Atonement Seekers) Media Discussion List\Looksee

yes she' sounds very careful and precise. But so is the arrangement. Not the spirit of the piece.
