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
Absolutely beautiful!….thank you! Fun fact: been in love with the Carpenters since I was born in late 70’s…..today was watching Arthur 2 and first scene Dudley Moore was dancing to a jazz band playing The Carpenters and I looked it up and discovered you! What a find! Cheers! greetings from Hollyweird, CA!
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!
Wait a minute! Did Robi just sneak in the opening line from Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" at 6:20? I can't get enough of Robi Botos!
This rendition just hit me so heard..serenaded me until 5:52....Then things changed..sensitivity and warmth on solos...I WAS IN A DIFFERENT REALM FROM 5:52 - 11:27.Thank you Rob,Mike,Larnell..You blessed me...Love and good will to you from Western Cape South Africa
Absolutely BRILLIANT!! :) I heard you earlier on a BBC radio 3 broadcast 'Canada 150: Jazz on the Prairies" play this...NOW this is SUCH a TREAT to watch you in your trio play together - pure MAGIC :)
You kick butt Robi. My girlfriend saw you at Herman's Jazz Club in Victoria, BC, and bought Movin' Forward at the show. I downloaded it to my iPod and rocked out all summer long to it. It's really incredible. Keep it up mate!
great stuff robi! love that new prince cover!! and of course all the others! is this at the same place you recorded the oscar peterson tribute concert? @ROBI BOTOS
@@robibotos OK thank you! I’m studying his arrangement, maybe move him, if possible… i'm from Brazil, i study music at a university, i'm a pianist of the genre "choro", mbp, samba. I've been with you for a while, congratulations on your work.

Same thing happened to me regarding the cassette tape :-)
this guy is one of the most underrated musician in the universe! He is my new hero for some months now
Unsure how this got into my 'recommended videos' feed in 2022 but the music gods were smiling upon me today. This is tasty as can be!

Wait a minute! Did Robi just sneak in the opening line from Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" at 6:20? I can't get enough of Robi Botos!
Yes he did, I noticed it too in my first listening
