Live At Motion Blue Yokohama JAPAN Piano Tomoharu Hani, Bass Chris Silverstein, Drums Scott Latham
Dear Tomoharu, I think I listened to about 100 versions of Purple Rain as I'm a big fan of Prince. Your Version stays pretty close to the original but still has that "something" to it. Very good work. Also your other samples here are very easy to the ears :) Perform in Hamburg in Germany, one ticket is already sold.... Yours, Jan
