Summary:

The name of this 30-yr old from Los Angeles might not mean much to you. A choir singer in the shadow of Michael Jackson, Elton John or Rod Stewart during her younger years (see the excellent documentary 20 Feet From Stardom), she came closer to the front of the stage in 2015 when "the kid from Minneapolis" took her under his wing. From yesterday's stadiums to this intimate concert at the Moods in Zurich, we can legitimately say that she did not get lost in the change from an artistic point of view. In fact, you will only need the first 15 minutes to realize the obvious impact of Prince on his music. Who would complain? Millimeter grooves, hip-hop impulses, rock or p.funk escapes, a soul heritage marked by a generous voice that Judith Hill, coupled with the liveliness of her guitar playing and the delicacy of her touch on the piano, imposes naturally. The titles parade by, a tenor saxophone invites itself on stage, the faces are streaming with sweat and just like the audience of the Swiss club, we are taken on board for a journey far from the green hills of the region. If the late Prince was the trigger, by producing and recording his first album at his home in Paisley Park, we must also pay tribute to two individuals very close to the musician: His parents. Robert Hill and Michiko Hill are key figures in the equation and in this clever mix that makes the work of their offspring so special. Dad holds the bass, mom is on keyboards and both of them are far from faking it. Coherence or connivance, family spirit or family affair, between the expressive solos of each musician, the concert has all the elements that make up the richness of the Californian's career. Well-known snippets and choruses (Jackson 5, Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, Hendrix ...) are grafted onto house compositions. A heritage that seems dear to Judith Hill and probably to her parents, revealing a nice complicit image and emphasizing once again, the importance of transmission. Julien D.
