BPM = Blinks per minute

[@shyamananda5818]

I think he has the greatest phrasing, just like a Horn player. His compositions have a beautiful mysterious quality. His melodies are angular and lyrical.

[@vbassone]

yep!

[@maksymilianjachimowicz8418]

I bet he was listening alot of Allan Holdsworth

[@markkubiak8296]

Angular and lyrical! Very well said.

[@japanesemaplepruning]

Holdsworth was one of his biggest guitar influences. They both have that same Coltrane approach of phrasing.

[@josiahb5229]

This song is one of my favorites by Kurt, along with Zhivago and Star of Jupiter. The Star of Jupiter album is a masterpiece.

[@arcarajoportorta]

1:30 one of those Kurt lines that make you smile for hours

[@Jazzamatazable]

kurt is one of the greatest guitarists of this generation in my humble opinion

[@m.i.c.g2246]

[@markkubiak8296]

Or any other generation, for that matter.

[@markkubiak8296]

What a combination - an inspired and brilliant jazz guitarist and a world class big band!! Gorgeous sounds!!

[@christophegaudissart6551]

it s an evidence !!!!!!!! i agree with you

[@DoseofTruth]

Great, I really enjoy kurt in the big band settings

[@joe1hundred]

this is so next level

[@claudedietrich8654]

love the surprises he creates with his harmonic adventures. Very Rosenwinkel, and then, on those harmonies mister genius just flies over to some magic land

[@tiluriso]

The original version of this tune is something else too. The ending vamp is always the best part, that outer space feel starting to peak @ 7:00, with those 'funny notes' in the background @ 7:30 harmony melting, reforming...eargasm.

[@joe1hundred]

the line at 7:41 is my favorite

[@colindawson6076]

Beautiful music!!!

[@daviddalziel884]

Stunning .

[@MichaelGrecoGuitar]

So amazing. I have seen him play in philly a few times. One time he was playing duet with Peter Bernstein. Crazy!

[@hrbigband]

Thank you Michae! The duet with Peter Bernstein sounds interesting!

[@brucegelman5582]

Fabulous exploratory work.Dissonant yet listenable.Brilliant!

[@helmet212]

Splendid Rose, Splendid Band & Excellent Sound Engineers!

[@DanieleRaciti]

That show was amazing!

[@MrReggieman]

Great!!!!

[@mistrynp]

killer tone

[@jcruise24]

Obsessed with 1:17 such a beautiful melodic line.

[@Gildeani1]

So lovely👍

[@hrbigband]

Thank you!

[@jimstahlhut1917]

WOW!!!!

[@indigocitystudio1015]

Great

[@user-fe9mj2ql4u]

This composition reminds me of Allan Holdsworth and music of John Barry at the same time ))

[@patrickburden5416]

is that you, Allan?

[@alanballard3815]

Yes it is

[@kattaakihiro9639]

♪♪♪👍👍👍🎵

[@benjaminbyrd5568]

Does anyone have a chart for this tune?

[@antonlindstrom8373]

drive.google.com/file/d/1sBiFlQ5NKh_dIPhQkx8cIBs0qngyceHe/view?usp=sharing He plays the melody a bit different each time, and this is based on the album version from Star of Jupiter, but it's similar

[@dirkitjes7222]

Hey that´s great. Thank you!

[@pierrebenichou4012]

is there any dvd of this concert ? :)

[@hrbigband]

sorry, there isn't :(

[@nameloss]

hrbigband why not ☹️

[@hrbigband]

We love the clips with Kurt, too -- but to publish them on dvd, there will not be enough demand. So we hope you keep enjoying the videos on KZbin!

[@rodesicom]

@@hrbigband Pls publish more from this concert here on youtube. Would love it!

[@MusicisPartofMe5]

anyone know what he's using to get that sound?

[@chrisnewton9622]

Ehx H.O.G 2 and a compressor to remove pick noise

[@MusicisPartofMe5]

ohh nice ill check it out thanks sm

[@ZENSIBLE]

Tone comes from the 👐

[@oddfellowfloyd]

There's just something about it that sounds odd, kinda detracts from the great warm tone he already has. :/

[@jonasmartinsen3439]

@@oddfellowfloyd but much more melodic, it doesn’t have the pick attack that a guitar naturally has. As a guitarist I always struggle with the sound of the pick and find myself fighting the instrument to have less pick attack. His tone is great.

[@nishankhyakthumba5546]

What guitar is he playing here?

[@hrbigband]

Sorry Nishankh but we can't tell you at the moment.

[@julienarrijs]

It's a Moffa I believe! 😊 Blessings! Julien

[@JanLarsenFredriksen]

Yes, a Moffa Mithra. Of course made by the italian luthier Domenico Moffa from Sicily.

[@MDugardin]

I'm a great fan, is there something with that shirt ? kinda fetish stuff i think.
