One day UA-cam looked at me and thought in its algorithmic depths: "Hey, do you remember the days music wasn't just background for you, when you listened and not just consumed whatever electronic mix is on?" And it set your Blue Note live up high in the recommendations. Couple of days later I'm still listening, I hope in a few years I'll still be here and maybe even on your live show. Great, just great.
How am I just finding Nao Yoshioka in 2023?!? Her and the band are so slinky and cool. The rebirth of slick. I haven't heard anything this funky and smooth since Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings! I just bought the Philly EP! It's gonna be in heavy rotation! DAMN, that looooong note!!!! FIRE.
My age is mid 60s. For some reason I really got into Jazz, Funk and Soul in my 40s. Some of the women entertainers I like are Sade, Diana Krall, Candy Dulfer, TOKYO GROOVE JYOSH the and list goes on... But NAO YOSHIOKA just stands out . Most of the bands and people NAO performs with are super explosive then add her controlled beautiful voice to the mix its just WOW, WOW, WOW...
The Tokyo Funk Sessions version of this song has more views, but I think this version is even better - sheer perfection and joy!!! Can't listen to this and not groove!!
What a talented group of musicians. a good sprinkling of funk and jazz. having a nice grove that lets each musician to build up their jazzy vibe into the song. bravo.
Great musicians, not only talented but gifted, superb melodies, very top notch jazz and her voice and dancing in the stage is a performance that completely changes my mood in cheerful spirit! She is a shooting star!
I came across this one night a month or so ago and enjoyed it so much I had to look you up on the internet. I texted this song to my brother, stepsister and closest cousins. A couple of nights ago I watched a few of your videos and well, let's just say I enjoyed myself....
Great song !!! Love the organ playing ! During the guitar solo, gee hi provided all the richness needed for the guitar to shine !!! Great work on the drawbars !!! But man the rythme section is so tight !!! An absolute necessity in funk music !!! Great guitar solo, great progression !!!
I LIKE it ! D Angelo meets Miles Davis (without the trumpet !..🙂) As a bass player, I would LOVE to play with this drummer ... All the rest of the band is just smocking... And the singer just great. Will check if you will play in Europe.. Cheers from Switzelrand. P.S. I didn't know Pino had a twin brother.. 🙂
Your stage presence is so impressive and it just makes me happy to watch these live performances, you have such a great energy that can be felt even through the screen. I hope to get the opportunity to see you and these amazing other musicians in the band you work with live one day. 🙌✨💕
Nao: Just had to mention, your ability as a singer is equaled and surpassed with your ability to move on the stage. Very few....in fact none can sing as you do....and dance to the beat...as you do...all the time. You are superb!...as are da boyz in the band tonight! Great combo! Even without the incredible horn section that sometimes accompanies you! And Jun's keyboards are, as usual, incredibly sweet, as your voice!❤
What a stunning voice and fantastic band. I’m so glad I discovered you. But I do miss the horns that are on the other version. Nevertheless, this is so great.
My two favorite genres of music are lounge music and hard rock. Japan is miles ahead in both these categories. This is excellent. Thank you Nao. Deserves millions of views...
OMG. I just found you through Blue Note Japan. And I'm so happy that I did. You have an instant fan. Your voice is just stunning! Hopefully I get a chance to hear you live. And this band is on point. What a show this must have been.
its not only skill that is abundant, but also heart, joy, excitement. THANK YOU for bringing a little bit of pleasure to my afternoon. What amazing music to listen to. I wish you all a bright future with many more awesome gigs o/ the world needs this energy
A joyful singer, a bunch of skilled musicians, a song that grooves everything around... what a wonderful piece of time. Brasil is here too, lady. Keep it coming!
Nao Yoshioka, I stumbled upon your Blue note performance, you are so talented and so are your band members. Love you❤, I have subscribed to your channel
This is one of my favorites from this group. I like how they switch it up to keep it fresh and fun to play... and listen to. I steal Zack's bass lines all the time! Great band!
Keyboardist aka organ - reminds of Sid Wingfield (of the Son Seals Band and Luther Allison Band). And also: Big Moose Walker (performed with Elmore Janes, Earl Hooker, Muddy Waters, Son Seals). Which is high compliment.
Wow... what a wonderful song, and your voice... it's just breathtakingly beautiful. After a stressful day at work, a glass of wine and your songs and everything is cool again Hamburg West Germany says thank you soooo much... :-))
There is so much air In this interpretation that it really breathes. A huge dynamic range with very small overall volume. This is a great skill. It is really difficult to create energy and vibe with such limited means. Great temptation to play a lot of notes and do it bright and loud. But here it turned out to keep the balance and the song sounds great: clean, transparent and breathing.
love this song so much!! i repeat this everyday when i am at work, never getting bored!🥰🥰✨🙌 btw i know you from blue note japan show, nao! keep being you!🤍

As a primary drummer, this drummer for me just "God like ", the sense, rhythm, accuracy and stability.. 😵
Fuyu kicks ass.
Agreed, more pocket than a garment factory...
You're right. ACCURACY is the word, in this case it's a synonymy of perfection!

If I ever go to Japan, the jazz scene there will be on my Obligatory To Do List! So many talented musicians.
Nao is the time for our love!
Nao is the total package... amazing looks, great voice, her enthusiasm and dance moves round it all out. A++++!
Stone cold party y’all reminds me of the 70’s !
My age is mid 60s. For some reason I really got into Jazz, Funk and Soul in my 40s.

As a bass player, I would LOVE to play with this drummer ... All the rest of the band is just smocking... And the singer just great. Will check if you will play in Europe.. Cheers from Switzelrand.
P.S. I didn't know Pino had a twin brother.. 🙂
You are all so talented, your drummer is my boy. I have only been drumming for a year but he inspires me. Love the Funk sound.

I was there! Too far back, so you can't see me. If you could, you'd see that I couldn't top dancing the entire time. It was an incredible show.
Awww 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You just touched my old funky soul, left behind for long, back in the young and good old days.
A joyful singer, a bunch of skilled musicians, a song that grooves everything around... what a wonderful piece of time. Brasil is here too, lady. Keep it coming!
This is so good. Really like her voice. She is feeling' it. She has the funk vibe down. She and Osaka Monorail must rule the funk in Japan.
Good Show 👍
Nao Yoshioka, I stumbled upon your Blue note performance, you are so talented and so are your band members. Love you❤, I have subscribed to your channel
wooo that's amaaazing
This is one of my favorites from this group. I like how they switch it up to keep it fresh and fun to play... and listen to. I steal Zack's bass lines all the time! Great band!
Everyone here has such talent, truly impressive. Amazing work as always.
Well, a revelation for me...sooo good!
Beautiful voice! -- crisp, clear, powerful.
Keyboardist aka organ - reminds of Sid Wingfield (of the Son Seals Band and Luther Allison Band). And also: Big Moose Walker (performed with Elmore Janes, Earl Hooker, Muddy Waters, Son Seals). Which is high compliment.
Jaco be proud. RIP.
The sound is so powerful feel the base just deep and the drums
Very good, perfect!
I can feel it! Really good!
Another gem from Nao

What a funky intro...g'dam🤟
This is really cool. Keep it up.
Wow... what a wonderful song, and your voice... it's just breathtakingly beautiful.
After a stressful day at work,

Hamburg West Germany says thank you soooo much... :-))

how do you get the bass to sound like that? it's like harmonics but quite not
Only instrumental Jazz, hummmmmm .... Only song, hummmmmm, BUT Good instrumental Jazz and Great Song : Yeahhhhh !
love this song so much!! i repeat this everyday when i am at work, never getting bored!🥰🥰✨🙌 btw i know you from blue note japan show, nao! keep being you!🤍
Yowza!
You're such a wonderful Jazz R&B singer!!!!
It would be so Cool if you and D'Angelo would collaborate on Chicken Grease. Would be very hot indeed. 🐥🔥
f*cking criminal this only has less than 100k views...
i hear J Dilla
Methinks, put out a 'live' album, containg such & similar. If that doesn't get a Grammy nomination, the committee is tone deaf.
