[@sat1241]

Exceptional rhythm section in this concert, Jack DeJohnette (some of his best playing) and Miroslav Vitous. DeJohnette is the standout in this whole show, some of the best playing of his career here. Impressions has one of Braxton's best solos on Impressions, wild in places yet controlled. Metheny has an excellent solo on Broadway Blues as well as a great bowed solo by bassist Miroslav Vitous. Chick Corea has a unique and unexpected introduction to Stella by Starlight, duo with Lee Konitz. His playing a little too busy for Konitz but there is some very interesting and creative interplay. Konitz has an intimacy and soulfulness here. and Konitz changes to a much less warm nasally tone for All Blues. Dejohnette explosive on this and Corea very percussive. Vitous takes another one of his fine bowed solos.

Anthony Braxton OMG soooo awesome!!!!

[@renosteve1]

I just stumbled on this. It was one of the best concerts i've been to, & that's saying a lot (I've been to 3662)! Was my 38th show (15th jazz) Was on a soccer field in the actual town of Woodstock, NY on 9/19/81. Poured for 4 hours after it was supposed to start @ noon. Ended at like midnight. Spent a couple of hours in a dugout after sitting under the soundboard for awhile until it got too wet. Stood a couple of feet from Chick Corea while he was interviewed. Even remember getting a burrito in town.

[@flukecentral5641]

jeez bro, write a book.

[@hecbiz75]

You keep an actual count of the EXACT number of shows you've been to?

[@Quantumlogik]

anthony braxton's solo on impressions was fucking cosmic... sounds like he transcended to a higher plane at some points in that. truly a performance that honors coltrane's legacy

[@micha4431]

Cant count how many albums he had made. Immortal guy!

[@loiclelandais2073]

Pour moi une découverte, Anthony Braxton un putain de musicien devant l'éternel et évidemment tout les autres. Ce concert est admirable de musicalité, et de véritable improvisation, d'ailleurs ce qui me parle énormément c'est le fait d'avoir écouté il y a quelque jour l'émission de Charles Pépin sous le soleil de Platon ou l'invité n'était autre que Ibrahim Maalouf. Il expliquait que très peu de musicien de jazz improvisait et j'ai compris ce jour la qu'il avait raison. En écoutant ce concert je sais maintenant qui sont les vrai improvisateurs, ce concert est magnifique, je suis dans la redite mais!

Scott Rosenberg You bet!

[@basileferriot507]

Marylin Crispell anyone? Tons of commentaries and no one mentions the only woman on stage, namely who's definitely one of the most amazing piano players of the 20th. That's a shame

[@mimichaten]

Yeah, her early M&A albums are intriguing and later ECM albums are great.

[@thenel2162]

man i absolutely love jack's touch on those sound creations!

[@pjustusxi]

This is Jack's best sound, IMO, along with the 602 setup with Miles. The Sound Creations were far more complex sounding. The Sonor Phonics always kill, as well. Jack stopped playing this 4-piece kind of setup almost a decade earlier, so it's fascinating to hear his 1981 conception on a standard kit.

[@JRM---516]

@@pjustusxi I echo your sentiments: I miss Jack on his Paiste's. Love that sound!

[@chillzillaful]

What a show!

[@steve-okeefe]

That's the great New Orleans drummer, Mr. Edward Blackwell, in the colorful cap back there. Not too many videos of this influential drummer. Thanks!

[@spercoco]

That's who I thought it was. I loved the people in the audience being confused about the snare hits in the head of that first tune. It was beats 1 and 4 each time but the first measure is in 4/4 and the second measure in 5/4. I loved the snare sound. I think DeJohnette used the same kit?

[@spercoco]

I'm sure they were Jack's drums and Blackwell used them as the opening band.

[@timages]

Jack DeJonette is incredible throughout...thanks for posting

[@nycboyforlife]

Greatest drummer of all time.

[@TheSpidey1969]

Wow! Didn't even recognize him at first! Blessed to have had a chance to see him multiple times. Had tickets for the show last year that was put on hold because of the covid. Hoping that I'm able to get to see him at least one more time.

[@brunomaiamusic]

Looks like Roy Haynes on the Drums? 10:35

[@0SW13]

@@brunomaiamusic that is ed blackwell

[@AjarSensation]

From 23:42 to 34:32 This has to be a one of those greatest few moments in the history of jazz, where the improvisation and interpretion approaches and gets near the spiritual level of John Coltranes musical dimentions, but while at the same time accomplishing to manifest its own personality and the soul onto, and within, the structural base level of the foundations of jazz music. And also arguably the best 10 minutes and 50 seconds I've almost ever in my life spent on concentrating on any kind of waveform-based art performance

[@wids]

Listening will report back chief

[@DarkeningSkies1]

It is one of my favorite versions of “Impressions” too.

[@bradydanfordtalented]

I 100% agree. Braxton's compositions are good but i feel his style is shown at its peak in band situations like this. His playing is just so visceral and confident to an extent Ive never heard before. Also, the entire rest of the lineup playing with him including chick and dejohnette makes the experience even better.

[@alexisrosalesruiz7334]

Chick the Maestro! Rip to the greatest improvisor of this era. Pat Metheny is right up there too!
