Kurt Rosenwinkel group with Joshua Redman - Jazz a Vienne (2004)

[@alisonflynn3856]

Just hearing this for the first time and I am totally hypnotized. This has to be among the best live music ever played and one of the best bands ever. I am totally blown away. I can't believe a band can play this well together. Absolutely fabulous. Some of the best music ever created.

[@kmaclean]

Brad and Kurt are generational musicians and players. Every time I listen it's like I've never heard it before. That's what truly great musicians can do -- the music stays fresh no matter how many times you listen to it. Ken MacLean

[@erwannsuard3817]

Brad really is something else, his chorus on the next step is amazing. Each single note has the weight of a bulldozer, it seems like he has think of this chorus for centuries before playing it.

[@풍뎅이-h5b]

Vin diesel is such an admirable actor, entertainer, entrepreneur and saxophonist..

[@rolf6421]

Sax and furious 🔥

[@dewimatthews6037]

Good to see his dad on the drums.

[@fabienbourdier9847]

motherfucker i was about to make that joke

[@穆亚乐]

i must've watched this whole video at least 30 times. such a mind-blowing performance!! man this band is such a powerhouse, the album is amazing as well

[@DrRetro11]

This quintet is so incredible. They're all amazing musicians and to see them all together is just amazing. Would kill to see this live again.

[@lungflogger9]

I like the cow watching them, it completes the experience.

[@JohnsDough1918]

This cow is having a completely normal reaction to the music played on stage.

[@tonyescano8199]

Yeah! It is saying, "Holy cow!"

[@dudleybarker2273]

i've watched this twice now... okay, watched is pushing it - listened to it twice - where is this mythical cow you're all going on about...

[@digsjazzalot]

I’m struck how these cats, each with their notably distinct sound, form such a beautiful one together.

[@dewimatthews6037]

'cats' indeed. They're surely not 'guys' 'dudes' 'folks' or 'chaps'. The perfect word with a nostalgia redolent of beatnicks in berets and soul-patches.

[@mehdiarafa78]

Hypnotizing, I do remember watching that band, and thinking "who the hell is this guy who has Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier and Ali Jackson as his sidemen". The concert was bonkers!!!

[@p4ths]

Nice! I always love to hear Brad and Joshua...

That piano intro was rad.

[@robbyr9286]

You 'B' right (B-rad)!

[@NC17z]

I agree... It was great,... However, there was something very familiar about it,... Lyle Mays - First Album,... Slink.

[@constanzaklaricpoblete7894]

That is some hard punching brain-power on display ... the aural equivalent of a TEDX presentation. Great show !!

[@danielsuarez1431]

At 22:26 the Ali Jackson's sense of rhythm is amazing and while Melhdau is solo ing brillante with some pedal effects, the Grenadier walking bass support is great.

[@BernhardHacksteiner]

absolutely

[@testimony5542]

This gig is definitely a something

[@mauz3496]

that piano intro 😍

[@motherfocus1]

redman's lines opening up at 18:10 are just sublime. drummer has a big ol grin on his face

[@blakedhansen]

Who was the leader here? Joshua Redman? Kurt Rosenwinkel? Brad Mehldau? Larry Grenadier? They are all superstars so it is hard to tell.

[@enzoirace6159]

Both songs were written by Rosenwinkel

[@OscarGeronimo]

Music was leader here.

[@sebasguitar132]

I think is Kurt or well at list he is the composer of this two pieces

[@marolere6957]

Why only 2 songs from this concert?? :(((

[@akshitsrivastava8569]

0:29 here it starts

[@michaeld5888]

Is the opening sequence by Brad Mehldhau being played in a particular mode? If so could anyone kindly say what it is. It made me think of Mussorgsky's piano work 'Pictures at an Exhibition'. Jazz really has achieved the status and quality of classical music in every way. It is amazing how they can capture the feel of Pat Metheny's 'Quartet' album on stage and Brad Meldhau is really something else. Reassembling Utopia live as we watch.

[@quisowens8025]

I'm tryna see "The Cross" live

[@fraidwoodcesco]

epico

[@loner6000]

Sick Drummer !!!

[@mindvoyager2476]

Regarding the unique phraseology of Kurts improvisation, IMHO, he is one of the few guitarists that does not play like a guitarist; he plays like a pianist or saxophonist.

[@patrickjasper3893]

brad mehldau or spock? amazing stuff

[@robinr.2233]

I've been listening to (or trying to listen to) Rosenwinkel for years, I still don't get it. Many seem to think he's a genius musician. Playing scales and arpeggios are more training/ learning tools than actual music.

[@nm800]

anyone transcribed kurt's solo??

[@geoffdavidson3782]

Anyone out there know the changes for the solo section of the next step?

[@damonbradley3883]

[@ceedeechester2277]

Ummm, Kurt? You should seriously consider giving Ali a BIG raise! What a great band... but Mr.Jackson is an absolute driving force.

[@eddie1985jazz]

Brutales !!!

[@PhilipPoland1987]

Look at Joshua at 6:48, it's hilarious :D

[@Manuel-vz3eq]

This is awesome! Does somebody know the band/artist of the intro before Mehldau begins?

Next step is killing! Evil Faroes in an alternate reality... or something. Hot damn!

[@chicali54]

a esto le llamo rener un buen cerebro para la musica

[@danielsuarez1431]

Ud. Lo ha dicho, el jazz es música cerebral, q exige no sólo sensibilidad sino imaginar el camino q hacen los ejecutantes, y cuándo el oyente lo logra, el disfrute es inconmensurable.

okay but what's going on at 19:12

[@kathleenalfonso3257]

The enormous cow painting behind the musicians is the only thing I find distasteful about this video. How that piece of "art" enhances a music venue is lost on me. Fortunately, these musicians have the talent to overcome this visual handicap.

[@puipui7382]

am i the only one who finds this corny? i love jazz from louis armstrong to evan parker but this is not for me. definitely a lot of technical prowess but atmospherically i don't dig it. i feel like this generation of players is more about being technical than actual good music. coltrane played a lot of technical stuff but the artistic content always took center stage. jazz is in a lot of ways a technical language but you could be a very simple player with great ideas and surpass a bland technique guy. monk played a lot of extemely intricate stuff but his technique was very unorthodox. from a purely technical standpoint more about character than efficiency.

[@tonyescano8199]

I feel like you have a good sense of humor.

[@UkuleleAversion]

I think you may be struggling to access this kind of contemporary jazz because its meaning comes entirely from the form of the music itself and because it's unfamiliar- it's a new jazz language in a way. If you can get Trane or Monk like you mentioned, I think that with repeated listening you'll come to appreciate this much more deeply, don't give up on it yet.

[@puipui7382]

no disrespect, but my initial fascination with coltrane and monk mostly had to do with liking the sound, vibe, and style of the music. i loved the music and wanted to learn more about it. even schoenberg or stockhausen i enjoy because i like the way it sounds first and then the logic behind it. i really do not enjoy the sound and style of these players. to me it feels very bland and institutional. there is obviously musicianship going on here but stylistically i do not enjoy it. i have to have that initial connection with the music to want to really get involved with it. i have tried to listen to kurt on more than a few occasions but i don't relate to him. i don't force myself to like anything. i kind of get why some people like this, i just don't. nothing wrong with enjoying this type of music and learning from it if you do.

[@UkuleleAversion]

Fair enough, I guess I had that kind of experience with Rosenwinkel and Mehldau, I just dug their vibe from the start and so it wasn't a task listening to their music. Good on you for giving their music a go though.

[@giovannisugonatoli]

I think you're right
