The phrasing is beautifully subtle, as is the melody. A refined pianist who understands that you don't have to fill music with an avalanche of notes to make beautiful music. And let's not forget the other 2 wonderful accompanists

Back in the late '80s, as a kid in Eastern Hungary, I stumbled upon Sting's "Bring on The Night" concert on cassette. Hearing Sting jam with legends like Kenny Kirkland and Branford Marsalis was mind-blowing. That tape was my intro to real music and sparked my love for great artists like Robi. #Nostalgic #MusicMemories

I just drove home from friends house at 11 pm. Winnipeg classic 107 was playing this piece as I parked my car.
I couldn’t make myself turn off the key and go home until it ended I was jamming so much. Thank you!

This is so good. 2:45 reminds me of Errol Garner (first time I heard this song was his version of it).
