[@TheMrE1974]

I'm no afficiando..but saw this guy live and realized that all the other saxophonists I'd seen uptil then wasn't even in the running..one of the few artists to give me goosebumps and actually made me listen for the full hour and a half set...one of the greats

[@SyedAleeAchmad]

Yes, he's a great Saxophones.

[@bradymom10]

If this guy can't make you love the sax, then nobody can.

[@leonardjulien4053]

Mr. Carter is an exception to the jazz world's rules , & I approved this message.🔥🎷

[@ER-le7zy]

Complete and utter command over his horn.......he thinks it; he sounds it. Bloody brilliant.

[@jonsande]

I love how the guitarist was completely enthralled with JC’s playing. I think he’s the best saxophonist of all time, alive or dead

[@themagpieofjazz4439]

0:40 is the best effect in the world

[@davidcox8961]

I think he is channeling Ben Webster with that puff sound.

[@Jazzmarcel]

I love me some James carter! he is the real deal!......no imitation, authentic!

[@prov324]

Mr. Carter is from another atmosphere!! Wow! Love this guy!!

[@caponsacchi]

The first tune on "Sonny Stitt with the Oscar Peterson Trio".

[@johnathonvanduinen6847]

Such a good tune! Every song from that album is great.

[@masapell]

Swing my freaking tail off...mother-of-God that was genius!

[@rialopib]

Great player ! ...Love the Lawton mouthpiece.....

[@MrBoybergs]

Amazing musician. Very cool guy. Love the way his humorous, cheeky side pours out through the bell of the horn.

[@Azman.]

What a high killing pitch note James! Greeting from Jazz man, Kuala Lumpur.

[@subpardiscgolf3548]

This man has the best dance moves.

[@JovaneDOLiveira]

Sempre achei James Carter acima do "estratosférico". O sax é simplesmente um tubo nas mãos dele, ele faz o que quer, o que sua mente quer. Magnífico!

[@Razorsharpedge]

James Carter is the Django Reinhardt of now. He plays with such freedom and verve. Unpredictably improvising I rate him with the best ones.

[@blackenedblue5401]

Razorsharpedge Agree! And funny you mention Django; the recordings of him playing at campground jam sessions at the 2015 Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival are worth watching. Try searching: "james carter #1 samois camping 2015"

[@danvalicenti8945]

Chris Potter numero uno, JC is great too

[@alaindrillon9226]

Le meilleur de James Carter,je ne me lasse pas de le réécouter .

[@michaelmcdermott7349]

I listen some amazing stuff, there is nothing Carter can’t do with his horn. Back to Getz though I enjoy my hearing and a softer sound. But nobody amazes like Carter, serious training and imagination.

[@gprosser11]

James Carter, I Can't give you anything but Love..thnx, Alain great..

[@flazeofages]

@3:36 Mad "Fascinating Rhythm" quote, James Carter is the man :)

[@idolewensberg3843]

Gee, but it's tough to be broke, kid. It's not a joke, kid, it's a curse. My luck is changing, it's gotten from simply rotten to something worse Who knows, some day I will win too. I'll begin to reach my prime. Now though I see what our end is, All I can spend is just my time. I can't give you anything but love, baby. That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby. Dream awhile, scheme awhile We're sure to find Happiness and I guess All those things you've always pined for. Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby. Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby. Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby. I can't give you anything but love. Rome wasn't built in a day, kid. You have to pay, kid, for what you get. But I am willing to wait, dear, Your little mate, dear, will not forget. You have a lifetime before you. I'll adore you, come what may. Please don't be blue for the present, When it's so pleasant to hear you say I can't give you anything but love, baby. That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby. Dream awhile, scheme awhile We're sure to find Happiness and I guess All those things you've always pined for. Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby. Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby. Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby. I can't give you anything but love.

[@Caglarsax]

Woooooow he may be the best jazz saxophonist 😢what an energy an technic .I feel sorry not knowing him up to now😢

3:38 fascinating rhythm :p

[@ornellacontreras4554]

Qué hacés escribiendo en inglés? jajja saludo

[@timothylee8935]

going to throw my sax in the canal tomorow

[@JazzLoverKhurram]

DO NOT DO THAT PLEASE.!!! Of course I know you won't😎 ...Or we might be missing something excellent in some future timeline😭 I along with most musicians (including JC here and Bird, more likely than not) have experienced exactly the same thing at various points in their lives... The solution to severe ego damage and onset of extreme humility incurred under such circumstances lies herein: PLAY SIMPLE NURSERY RHYMES FOR A WEEK AFTERWARDS...PREFERABLY IN ALL KEYS* 👳🎷 Remember in the mean time NOT to punish yourself repeatedly by listening to your musical idol's performance over and over in order to figure out what the fuck he's playing LOL'...'t was a tip I received from none other than Secret Santa OM..🎅 T.M.H

[@timothylee8935]

thanks for your advice khurram,you made me feel better,i just wont lison to the talented twats

[@DatsMac]

Well, good idea! I'd do the same, but I'd have to go fish it back from the canal first!

[@kafenwar]

Don't. Just do whatever it is Carter DOESN'T do, which is tell a story with your horn.

[@sammymadethis1]

Timothy Lee same here bro😂

[@carlossanti6970]

degenera el sonido dandoles un matiz diferente,fantastic

[@33Bin]

that guitar player. He's Stochelo Rosenberg?

[@AlainCaronPage189]

Yes

[@blowingbubbles9890]

Yeah :)

[@nehemiahstewart]

When I need inspiration I watch this

[@faustodelcid8187]

this guy is amazing

[@xelaalex3730]

Magnifique ! Même stochelo n'en croit pas ses oreilles !!

[@AlainCaronPage189]

+XELA ALEX 😊

[@prcty]

James Carter is the Michael Jackson/Michael Jordan of Saxophones. He's THE household name in the Saxophone world.

[@PurveyorOfCuriosities]

It's hilarious how many "experts" are under the impression that someone gives a toss about their opinion about James Carter or any other musician or artist that is doing what they want to do. Those keystrokes could have better been used writing your own memoir. FOCUS.

[@y34r]

Looking at these sophisticated player in comment telling how jame carter style is ‘unsophisticated’. JC up there playing on stage , and touring his musician life while these armchair musician complaining, oh well the irony

[@kafenwar]

Too much flash and dazzle and minstrelizing. He can't play a coherent solo, which is why he resorts to all that off-the-wall jive.

[@kafenwar]

@Mr. Octobass I don't think he's "unsophisticated" in his approach to music. He's just in terrible taste. Furthermore, his solos have no shape. He's constantly grandstanding. I hear no real sincerity in his playing. And he's not the only saxophonist in Jazz history who's guilty of this. Earl Bostic was another incredibly gifted saxist (perhaps even more so than Parker) who had lousy taste and made an entire career out of grandstanding and show-boating. Illinois Jacquet did a shit-load of grandstanding but he could also play beautifully crafted solos. Roland Kirk as well.

[@edwardpedersen1565]

James For President

[@andrewgillis8572]

Monsieur CARON none of us will forget the shock & surprise of Uzeb in Zapata's Lounge Halifax 1982 - I came looking for Carter doing theme from film Winter Meeting with his trio, then saw this was your upload and had to investigate! regards to you and PS this big band is mixed beautifully outdoors - whatever became of your incredible FOH engineer, with whom we spoke in club 35 years ago?

[@Aeritth]

Okay, that whistle and slap (at 4:44) got me.

[@michaeljohnson9969]

You can sure tell when he’s having a good time!

[@davidebaylon]

magnifico!! un assolo veramente gradevole

[@vnmsss1]

Davide Baylon

[@LiangZhaoMusic]

也不给我伙计们几个镜头，是因为这是他个人团队拍的，牛逼个人秀哈哈。

[@Danroxye01]

He's an amazing sax solist

[@bigeman25]

King Carter.

[@amicoen]

indimenticabili giornate!!!!

[@subpardiscgolf3548]

King of contemporary

[@StefanSaxCoachSaxMaster]

great james---awesome - keep on-Sub-

[@ilikemusak]

I've never really loved that in ever solo he plays he uses every trick he has... but lord does he have absolute total command of the instrument, perhaps more than anyone in history. I just want to hear him play one solo straight up one day haha

[@nathanielmiller9071]

truly the best saxophonist alive!

[@Halmiyar]

+Nathaniel Miller Hard to say. There's also Joshua Redman, Alex Han.... but he is fantastic for sure ! and the sound he does, make him unique ahah.

[@kylekelly9171]

Nandayo and pepper adams

[@snorrissax]

Oh man, you don't listen to anyone other than the wack players then...

[@adithyasriram633]

[@Jazz313]

Detroit Jazz Great

[@ニャオト-b1w]

Super cool😂

[@JK-ww8dn]

i need help guys even tho all of you here might be sax bias but what should i pick up sax or trumpet

[@xaluna5940]

Saxophone is easier to learr. but if you get good at trumpet and can really play style then youll be a beast as a trumpet player.

[@bobgilford5887]

Jakub Kopras sax gets you bitches. Just saying it how it is. If you wanna be badass, go for sax.

[@chloesheler1927]

What album is this song on??!!! I love this 👌💜

[@chloesheler1927]

Ever Valenzuela That is a very good song!

[@kingn00b99]

Great song right?

[@NOTafreakingflute]

His reed must've been shredded after this-- what a beast!

[@Clauderoberts29]

Ray M. I was at Yoshi's in Oakland about the time you wrote your comment, and he must have gone through 10 reeds. He just kept popping them off .

[@mandrew296]

Lol he looked very worried about his reed at the beginning of the video 😂

[@alessandrobomfim2299]

I've heard that Carter smash a couple of reed each one show

[@KIELMOURASANTOS]

DESMANCHA TUDO.... DESMONTA TUDO... DEPOIS MONTA... MUITO BOM!

2:19 my mama done told me, when I was in knee pants

[@박효득-b1u]

오우!!! 어메이징^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[@kafenwar]

Every now and then he plays wonderfully, but even at his age he just *can't resist the fucking showboating.* Somebody should tell him to stop the goofy shit and EDIT HIMSELF. Even Illinois Jacquet didn't do all of that clowning.

[@handdancin]

find me one accomplished musician who actually likes this guy

[@sequoyahcisneros8719]

Joshua Redman. Or is he not accomplished enough?

[@marciogabriel7796]

quem e o ---------------mam trumpet ?---------------

[@zangsax]

Show biz with chops.

[@andrewgillis8572]

this style cannot be rendered without reverb! the mic is dry & this basically leaves James sounding flat

[@skippruitt2391]

No reverb needed.

[@freiretrompete1174]

Show👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ronniewoodsbellmontsounds7045]

An imitation Earl Bostik

[@sequoyahcisneros8719]

Yes, him and Lockjaw

[@henryholt1359]

Carter has definitely studied Arnette Cobb

[@blakebradley6021]

if only there was a transcription

[@ftalbot35]

+Blake Bradley Use your ears :) May be grueling at first but each one you do after will get easier, it's worth it, good luck!

[@michaelmcdermott7349]

I'm pretty sure he is a giant standing on several giants shoulders, somebody put some time in and then .... a new age is born his unique sound. My brain hurts after I listen.

[@iamanubus2]

+Michael McDermott He is one bad dude; they don't make them like him very often, if ever...love him.
