Review of Hearing Is Believing (2017) by David K — 04 Feb 2018
This film introduced me to an astounding young woman who plays piano like Keith Emerson, Herbie Hancock, or Rachmaninoff; guitar like Zappa or Robert Fripp or John McLaughlin; bass like Jaco Pastorius or John Wetton; and several other instruments with equal mastery.
More importantly, as a player, vocalist, and composer, Rachel combines her encyclopedic repertoire of classical, jazz, R&B and rock into a completely original, mesmerizing and joyful sound. "Hearing is Believing" is not flashy or melodramatic, but that seems to be the point: to show us how an unassuming young woman has faced daunting physical challenges to emerge as a musical tour de force on the global stage.
Perhaps more importantly, Rachel reminds us of the vastness and mystery of human potential.
