[@guitarline]

Thanks!!

[@chriswilkes5938]

I love Peter Bernstein's silences. He gives the notes time and space to resonate properly. Too many guitarists throw themselves into the instrument and overwhelm you with a flood notes. Bernstein has a completely different approach, and I much prefer it.

[@falsenotefest]

Yes he is never as good as the moments when he is not playing ah ah

[@jeanounou]

I noticed as much myself! He plays so simple; a note here, a note there, a phrase over there, a little repetition... but you can see it is coming from deep inside. Amazing player.

[@davidscott1052]

Space is such an underestimated component in the jazz language

[@gradient8951]

The best music for a loooong high way trip - very, very nice 💗

[@diedigitaldenkfabrik8327]

Brad Mehldau is fantastic at "not playing"! Watch him closely and you see how he hears the notes without moving his fingers. His statements are 40 % of the melodies he could be playing. No noodling. Same for Peter Bernstein. Uniquely conceived.

[@deaneporter595]

i agree 100% i will also state that the same goes for Larry and Jeff (both are in total control here)

[@robscheps7722]

I grew up playing with all these cats, Every one a great player, so musical.

[@joshistyping]

You grew up playing with Brad Mehldau and Peter Bernstein? How do you know these guys?

[@robscheps7722]

@@joshistyping playing around NYC. With Peter mainly at Augie's which is now Smoke; with Brad at Sweet Basil, then later w/ Dianne Reeves.

[@joshistyping]

@@robscheps7722 Oh my god, if this is how casually you brush with greatness in NY I’ve gotta base a music career there one day.

[@filmjazz]

I lived on 106th and Riverside for 10+ years so Augie’s and later Smoke was my neighborhood jazz spot, and where I heard Peter Bernstein. I miss those days! Brushing with greatness is definitely a regular occurrence in NYC if you make the effort to get out there.

[@kmaclean]

One of the finest quartets ever assembled. Brad Mehldau is a virtuoso and Peter's solos are so tasty and melodic. Music so fresh you can listen to it over and over and find something new every time.

[@damianzeni2023]

Excelente concierto!!!! Excelentes musicos!!!! Brad Mehldau tiene un estilo único y muy personal!!!! Muchas gracias por compartir esta joya de concierto!!!!!!

[@birdiepiano]

I am officially fan of Brad Mehldau: what a distinctive style he has!

[@bryanalfonso5700]

Nobody plays a melody on guitar better than Peter Bernstein! Before you get all excited, please note, I said "nobody is better", not "he is the best" - there's a subtle, but important difference. Anyhow, look at the focus he puts into every note. Short phrases that work together into larger statements. He delights and surprises the listener.

[@tcj226]

I admit I was unfamiliar with Peter Bernstein until now but you're spot-on with "nobody is better." He plays what's right for the music. Definitely a fantastic new find for me, will be exploring his stuff soon.

[@bryanalfonso5700]

@Mr. Neuman Thanks. I admit I just now looked up sycophantic. Good word! I'm an engineer. We rarely go over two syllables. :). I'm definitely going to use it as it is perfect for situations like this. Thanks for the lesson.

[@vKarl71]

Yes, wonderful playing. Such a fine band, such great listeners.

[@andrejkumarov]

This guitarist needs to practice a lot stuff like Giant Steps for the beginning. This man is completely lost in Mehldau's harmonical contexte (I talk about the first song, let's see "la suite")

[@andrejkumarov]

No, he doesn't put any focus into every single note, it's just crispation and constipation. No liberation no exaltation, neither any dynamics, nothing is build up - that's wank-guitar with no release !! Horrible stupid notes having a horribly lovely sound - a summit of paradox !

[@pgonzo98]

great comping by brad under bernstein's solos..

[@giulianolonghi5467]

Great performance, great artists, very special quartet. Thank You.

[@takisdoukas1829]

What an astonishing band. Brad is absolutely amazing. I'm looking forward to listening to you in November in Athens Greece. The rhythm is so flawless. I wish to play with you sometime.

[@matt75189]

I personally think that this is one of the best quartet ever when down to guitar and piano together. Love both Mehldau and Bernstein unbelievable interplay between the two..

[@Super20011988]

Great. Thanks.

[@Apoorv293]

Hatts off to Jeff Balland

[@ernestocun7212]

What a great guitarist !

[@JamesHunterRoss]

These four are burning it up! A supergroup, basically, firing on all cylinders...

[@alexanderhladek]

Jeff‘s drumming is phenomenal….sooo tasty! And the other guys too, simply brilliant!

[@Jerominus77]

A drummer that is wow - - -

[@MrAtuamae]

I see "yeah" guy attended this concert, he's my favorite audience member!

[@dejanhasecic9124]

Oh my god! These guys are truly gifted by some force from above the Earth !!! Music at its best!

[@alternatune]

It’s called hard work, practice, more practice and passion for the craft. Throw in a tinge of creative genius and the “other-worldly” sensation that you experience only appears to come from an ethereal realm. It’s very much grounded here on earth.

[@samferguson9171]

I must have heard this for the first time 12 or so years ago. My first experience with each one of these musicians. (I’ve been hooked ever since.) The shifting, ethereal beauty of “Buddha Realm” gets me every time.

[@deanesamuelporter9369]

I strongly agree.

[@vicbeans]

my 3 year old daughter just asked if I was on hold XD

[@Bruce.-Wayne]

Lol....that'd be a 90min hold

[@glenhorn142]

The cool thing I love about you awesome group is that none of you are stuck up and arrogant! You guys show respect for what you do! You fine men show a lot of humbleness and take heart in what you do! This is what make you cool band so sensational! You can tell how your audience is reacting to each mantelpiece you perform! Again, you cool, awesome distinguished guys are sensational!! You group deserves an 10 star rating!! God richly bless all of you fine, fine cool men! He loves you us very much, so does You audience!

Your cool drummer and your bass player are so, so cool! Your group is so blessed and wonderful! I hope you get invitations to perform all over the world! Your blessed piano player is so cool!

[@voodoochili12]

Great bass playing!

[@chriswilkes5938]

Larry Grenadier is my favourite bass player.

[@falsenotefest]

@@chriswilkes5938 Yes he is really awesome

[@christuxford4462]

Listening to the first tune. That’s a challenging one to get nice melodies!

[@kachotumbiador6603]

solo comparable a la tuna de tu wife!!!

[@carloscrbm7007]

This is one of the most grateful jazz reunions of all time, in my opinion. A session where each musician has established a perfect part of an utterly singular moment, that unfortunately probably never will be re-edited anymore. A jewel, a unique piece of the creative genius of these four brilliant musicians.

[@ianroberts3948]

Pat metheny once quoted guitar and piano is a difficult jazz form.his time with Brad's trio was rather experimental. This is an example of wonderful playing ,I love it

[@andrejkumarov]

Yeah, may be Metheny did, but Scofield did not. However, when I listen to this band, Metheny might be right !

[@falsenotefest]

Peter is quiet when Brad plays, and he don't use chords very much here. I heard Sco say that with another melodic instrument like piano you must be careful not to interfer. Sco plays a lot with chords, Pat does to, and with Brad it is quite impossible I think. And Brad has lot of difficulties not to solo while playing.

[@artchib4916]

Thank you, uncle! I got high! 😃

[@ProfeJMendoza]

Loved that ending 'Jive Coffee'! What a distinctive piece of rhythm, harmony, and group interplay!! Vielen Dank!!!

[@deanesamuelporter9369]

[@glenhorn142]

Absolutely awesome performance man! I am partial to drummers! Your awesome drummer is sensational! Your group is very blessed and very talented dude! God richly bless you fine, awesome and very cool group! We love you very much man! Take care!

[@martinsprenz2872]

Peter Bernstein did a good job this evening.

[@falsenotefest]

Yes he is one of the best guitarist in my opinion

[@manuelcaraves9906]

Awesome !!!All Great !!!! thanks...

[@paullarnce2167]

Very impressive. Very professional.

[@pjhoury2072]

A pity Larry Grenadier isn't a bit more forward in the YT mix. Jeff Ballard's playing recalls Tony Williams on Maiden Voyage. But otherwise perfect. I write as I listen for the third time.

[@glenhorn142]

I highly commend you awesome, talented, cool, and very blessed drummer! God richly bless your awesome talent man! Coolest performance! I love your bass drum/ crash cymbal sync! Awesome, awesome sound man! I hope you get invites all over the world! You deserve it dude! God bless!!

don't know what to think about Peter here in this context wich i feel is not the good for him, phrases are short sounds not really affirmative.

[@snartzzb983]

Sorry, but this trio needs Steve Morris, not Peter Bernstein.. You can hear them open back up after his trite soloing. Every time...Peter takes it nowhere.

Peter Bernstein's solo on Buddha Realm is definitely pathetic (the equivalent of Tommy Flannagan on Giant Steps) but nah, the band members themselves are great.
