Chaka Khan "High Wire" (Live-Jazz)

RIP Andy Weiner (keys, flugelhorn). I met Andy at a reunion party for a band that he and I played keys in, but a few years apart. We had a nice jam at Mike's (band leader) house in L.A., and I got to chat with Andy about our musical gear. He told me at that time that he was using a pair of Yamaha Motif XS or XF workstations, and we talked about trumpets and flugelhorns because we both play them. Really nice guy, very unassuming, had a kid-like excitement and enthusiasm when talking about music, proving to me just how much he loved music and everything about it. He was one hell of a musician and nice guy. RIP, Andy.

Her jazz is ALWAYS wonderful. The most well-rounded singer alive.

Unbelievingly mature performance from all. We all know how versatile Chaka Khan is. But here her controlled use of power is masterful. I can't believe this is the same singer that belts out Ain't Nobody. She is a singer's singer and a musician's singer.

I absolutely love Chaka Khan doing jazz. I think she is so underrated. Chaka is so versatile; she puts her own stamp on everything she sings. That's jazz.

The voice is the first musical instrument -- Chaka demonstrates like no other. Fabulous.

I never get tired of hearing Chaka sing this song,she and the band are amazing,so classy!!!🙏🏼😇❤️

I have the album. I love it. share it with my friends and they couldn't get in to her singing jazz. What a shame when people don't appreciate good raw talent music.

i remember petitioning Warner Brothers for YEARS to get them to release this digitally. When they finally did, it was a limited amount thing. Thank goodness for albums!!

Wonderful rendition of this classic tune. And that bass line though... Lettin' it hang low and loose!

CHAKA KHAN JAZZ GROUP! THIS A FANTASTIC PIECE CALLED "HIGH WIRE" AND IS BASED ON CHAKA'S ORIGINAL VOCAL ARRANGEMENT. HER BAND IS GREAT AND OF COURSE IS SHE JAZZ AT ITS BEST

Echoes of era

Indeed!  I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks for the upload. I have both Echoes LPs on vinyl (the second LP features Nancy Wilson), and have always appreciated Chaka's jazz stylings. This is a nice accompaniment to my Saturday!

A true vocal stylist. CK can sing practically any song and make it her own. A very beautiful and talented lady.

I LOVE IT CHAKA!!!

now thats when you know your good...when a jazz genius like Chick Corea writes a song 4 you

This piece is from Chick Corea, called "High wire the aerialist". 🎉🎉❤

@Funkredible Oh Yes! Pure vocal & melodic phenomena.

Uma interprete dessas do mais alto gabarito diante uma plateia estatica e fria. Milhonarios que podem pagar mas nao tem o jazz no sangue!

Static Roberta, Dynamic Chaka.

Mr. Melvin Lee is perfect on the bass !!! :)))
