Hiromi - Fusion Jazz (this is not a review hahaa)



Went to Hiromi's concert of the HK Art Festival. The concert was on fusion jazz, this is actually my first time going to a fusion jazz concert. I had only been to jazz bars for standard jazz performance and of course those standard jazz are more easily digested, just like the ones that we always listened to in coffee shops.

As I'm so new to fusion electronic jazz, my comments are 'I did not feel boring' and 'it's very interesting' and 'I think I'll be interested to know more about these' and 'it's good to be so carefree and to express the emotions thoroughly like Hiromi on the stage'. I would say it's a pleasant concert, but I don't know anything 'technical' to talk about this concert!! But I do have a funny side story…..

In the middle of the show I felt busting, wanted to go to the loo, I told my friend, 'shxt, I think I gotta go to the loo', my friend went, 'it's the song that makes you wanna go to the loo or you just wanted to go?'I was kinda paused for a sec, 'what ?! .. ' I was thinking why there would be such a question?!?

Then after the concert we had a after-performance talk at a bar and we had some discussion about what we think towards the show. And then I asked him why on earth he asked me such a weird question about 'wanting to go to the loo'. He told me for ppl who do really know jazz, and if they can't really digest the jazz, these song will easily made ppl wanting to go to toilet, because the song sometimes made you feel like it runs very fast and u dunno how fast it's going to be running, and when is it gonna end.

I was totally amazed about this 'theory', but he's really serious about that. Then I was thinking, yeah, maybe the song seems like going really fast (the beat, the drum, the piano) and in your psychological mind it made you want catch up, and excited and eventually made you want to pee. Similar to the case that many people feel like they wanted to go for a pee before exams or before performance, because they feel nervous or sometimes too excited. I suppose these behavour are having some common psychological theory behind. ^.^

Friend told me that if he listens to other harder-to-digest jazz , made him wanted to pee tooand he said last time he went together with 2 other friends, they are also new to jazz, and 1 of the guy told him he actually wanted to go for a POO.I'm sorry it's not a review of the Hiromi concert, it's something pretty stupid that wanna share with others only haha!!! XDDDDD
