Analogies

I love this theme and, while I think she's good, her execution of it is hurried (2:13 - 2:19, 2:39 - 2:41, etc; there are many such examples)- to me, it's like she's eating, the piano is her plate of food, which is an approach I like, only she's swallowing too fast, without savouring the notes properly. A few more fractions of a second spent on some notes would make this Very Good. Wait for the drummer & the bassist, Lynne! Don't jerk them around so much, offer them a bite.

I posted the passage above on YouTube under this video, only to notice, after clicking "post", that it is her channel, and the comment is now 'waiting for approval' by the owner of the channel; so I post it here instead.

Yknow how some people are very territorial about their plate of food? Usually men? Somehow, these same people manage to go out with other people who do not want to order a side of fries and end up doing the inevitable:

"Can I steal a fry?"

"Why didn't you order some if you wanted them?"

"I want one, not a whole plate of them."

"::Obnoxiousloud sigh:: fine."

Well, here, the best approach in my view is to offer some fries before it is even asked, because I've noticed people have a harder time accepting something that was offered.

In this case, Lynne is not only not offering the fries to her drummer and bassist, she's telling them "no, you can't have one, they're all mine!" She's hungry, hungrier than these two! And that's fine. But... but...

If this were footie, she'd be the center-forward or striker. It is known that center-fwds are v v good at running short distances v v fast; they're highly skilled at finishing a play; they're the star atop a Christmas tree.

However, without the midfielders, left and right-wingers, and fullbacks, the striker is useless. There is even no striker glory without a goalie. There is no play for him to finish, because they're seldom the tactically gifted heads, though they do have extraordinary vision and ability to see in their minds' eye what is going on 50 metres away.

But alone, strikers cannot be together. Jazz pianists can, provided they are, in fact, solo.
