Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind II (Live)

“Hey, have you heard that Jay-Z song “Empire State of Mind”? Maybe at Yankee Stadium, if not in every subway station and loud avenue in the entire city? You know, it’s the one where Jay says how great he is, and talks about the rough old neighborhood in Brooklyn. No, not that one. No, not that other one, either. It’s the one with the Alicia Keys chorus, soaring as high as a skyscraper: “These streets will make you feel brand new/Big lights will inspire you/Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New Yooooork!” Anyway, the song was on Jay-Z latest album, “The Blueprint 3,” so naturally it’s very heavy on the Jay. But if you’ve ever wondered what it might sound like if Ms. Keys did it herself, you are in luck: “Empire State of Mind, Part II” will be on her new album, “The Element of Freedom,” due Dec. 15. On it Ms. Keys tells her version of the bootstraps story, taking a Gypsy cab through town and musing pensively on fame, though she still hits the same heights when she comes to the big hook. (Jay does not appear on the recording.)” http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/19/alicia-keys-finds-her-own-empire-state-of-mind/

I laughed until I cried tonight.

I hadn’t done that in quite some time.

I also saw an amazing show by C4, The Choral Composer Conductor Collective.  Our director for MWE is in it, as is his gf, a lead soprano, and they blew me away.

I am very lucky to have found the group of people that I have here in NYC, truth.
