Kurt Rosenwinkel & The New Generation - Minor Blues

[@fred8097]

Never thought I’d see Kurt playing a Les Paul!

[@GoGetFletch]

I agree with you man. Nice tone but it just doesn’t look right. What’s next, a Strat or SG? 😂. I’d like to think there’s some story behind it. Like he was out walking the dog and gate crashed a band’s rehearsal.

[@240dbprisms5]

he sounds pretty good with it too!

[@dirkdil8268]

Yes, he's using it as Les Paul intended. I'm pleased he's not using half a truck load of pedals and allowing the instrument to sound through. I'd like to hear him turn the gain up a bit and play a bit with the tone breaking up slightly though. A performance to make me smile.🙂

[@NickGranville]

I prefer it. The tone is much better IMO.

[@emmadetten]

he used to get a great wailing ebony board sound out of his 355, and this one's right there

[@willychi9315]

O my god that pianist is insanely amazing

[@aymericdoucet6289]

Ok but Kurt's solo, my godness!

[@fxaarchable]

Fun story...I bought a guitar at Rudy's in October. The sales guy told me just sold Kurt black Les Paul. I was skeptical. By the way Rudy's is an amazing store.

[@shalominthehome92]

Oh damn, so Kurt bought that guitar at Rudy’s? Was wondering if he owned or just borrowed it from someone for this gig. His tone sounds incredible on it, so hoping to hear more from him with this axe.

[@mongoharry]

​@@shalominthehome92yeah, his pedal setup is really phenomenal.

[@bradmehldau4436]

Rudy’s, immortalized in Steely Dan’s “Black Cow”

[@markjunemendoza]

You know it's good when your groaning involuntarily while listening

[@jakereosti]

i bet these young musicians are having the time of their lives playing with kurt

[@arms7260]

Oh my DAYS the drummer is going mad

[@PeterHiggins]

Im glad to be alive in this timeperiod.

[@alanoffer]

Never see kurt playing the same guitar twice ,

[@producer2123]

Great jazz musicians play ideas, not just licks. That is what we have here. So beautiful to hear.

[@Arm.W]

D'angelico,moffa,yamaha sg,westville semihollow,335 and now with les paul custom. He can play any guitar model or brand and still create his own incredible signature sound. What a player!! 😅

[@aleksandarmadjovski3383]

Although the LP and the Yamaha SG are quite similar in terms of design and sound.

[@letsdanceonhere]

Yeah and new hat too.

[@marioposella7677]

I noticed he was also using one of the new AXE units. He may have had a few pedals on the floor too but I think the majority of his effects came from the modeller.

[@gregmorrison9157]

I only found out about Kurt a few days & thought I'd give "The Next Step" a listen first. It absolutely knocked my socks off & I've lapping his stuff up since, and what a great performance this is. To a man, the musicians are just crackin.

[@allamarcia]

What a wonderful sound of guitar! THIS is something modern jazz. Amazing genious. I like very much! Greetings from Finland!

[@PureToneAmps]

I think the Gibson Les Paul Custom suits Kurt a lot ......

[@marcusaurealius6129]

I love some PURE GENIUS when I catch a jazz vid every now and again

[@federicoilongatsac9415]

Absolut joy play that.Congratulations

[@stnkfnga]

Blazing! Kurt is such a beast and a fav of mine.

[@darthmorbous]

That piano solo...omg

[@SagiBarHodak]

Absolutely amazing !

[@franckcaria9724]

Ça c'est bon bravo !😎

[@brennelson7844]

This is truly Great jazz, brilliant musicians and the Drummer excellent.

[@CarlosCastilla]

Exactly 👍

[@experimentalme7438]

I went to Chris' cafe last week. Great coffees and really good music

[@androgino888]

Congratulations. What a great song! I've apreciated too much!

[@criticontropus6923]

Nothing new on that side of the Kurt's world: pure creativity excellence...thanks guys...ultra great play

[@chuckvedrene703]

2023 Think Kurt has finally got the sound and the personnel he’s been seeking. Each one of them brilliant and soulful as cornbread and milk!! Piano and Sax solo perfection in the pocket….just simply high level blues done to perfection. Love every note.

[@IssaSouriant]

My dude talking like the 2000's kurt band with Mark Turner, Ben Street and Jeff Ballard isn't one of the best things that happened in jazz history... The players in the video are very good obviously but I'm not sure that Kurt is searching for a precise personnel. I think he is exploring the possibilities musicians can offer and having pleasure meeting young new people and new ideas, that's what his many albums tell us. Because if he wanted the "perfect" jazz band, he could have continued with the quartet. Tbh I'm a fan of longtime bands like Keith Jarret trio but I am so happy to hear musicians I love exploring paths I wouldn't imagine...

[@Trombosilbo]

Cornbread and milk?

[@samlewis7878]

Yeah---- cornbread and milk.

[@jazzdoorman]

Wow! Now that's some great musicianship! Very Tasty!

[@CaiusV.]

Thank you 😎

[@error9900]

Insane guitar solo

[@PureToneAmps]

awesome players and music..... Love this video so much......

[@mr.b4444]

Great playing, and it's nice to see guitarist Mark Whitfield's son on drums. He's a monster drummer; saw him perform with Dee Dee Bridgewater a couple years ago.

[@NickGranville]

He’s burning 🔥 sounds so good

[@101xaplax101]

its only a matter of time until people start claiming that his tone is actually a result of the guitar strap transferring vibrations from the neck heel to the rear of the guitar

[@Kahlil314]

Aidan McKeon amazing!

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Drummer is incredible. Killer playing here all around. Kurt on the bold ass Les Paul, it’s his normal thing but somehow more.. big fan..so heavy.

[@iweigh632pounds]

that drum solo was insane

[@davidtoth1]

omg love the les paul!

[@philmaz14]

Damn this band is killing

[@dariusrahul1159]

I really love the Joseph Block's solo piano! Great band!

[@linotom1887]

Oohh..😌...that good old P.Metheny & L.Mays vibe...💙

[@ClaudeDubé-y6m]

Kurt est un fameux musicien et avec son groupe il sait où il vat .😊👌🎶😎

[@error9900]

Killer drum solo. So smooth.

[@leanmchungry4735]

Exciting band, best young sax player I've heard in a while, looks to be playing a Conn and a Berg, everyone sounds great.

[@edgali]

he's an absolute beast and he's only a freshman in college!!

[@theotheranswer]

Check out Immanuel Wilkins if you haven't already

[@coledavismusic]

@@theotheranswer man just let Aidan have his moment! He's like 19 and playing with this band, that's incredible, just appreciate that without having to point out that you think someone else is "better"

[@Kahlil314]

@@coledavismusic I agree that Aidan is an amazing player! you can see a video of him playing with me and his new perspective trio(touring right now by the way) on my youtube channel. But you can not stress enough how much Immanuel has done for the music! He is at the forefront of his generation and two or three generations past as far as im concerned. Spend less time in the comment section and more time listening to albums!

[@coledavismusic]

@@Kahlil314 yes, that is obviously true - I actually don’t know anyone in the NYC jazz scene (where I am based) who would disagree with your statement. I am a fan of his music as well. My point was just that it’s unnecessary to take away from someone’s accomplishments by pointing out another player’s success. And your “spend less time in the comment section and more time listening to albums” comment was COMPLETELY unnecessary - I’m a professional musician, I’ve listened to way more albums than I have left KZbin comments.

[@gwynnielsen5081]

A jazz guitarist friend of mine recommended Kurt to me. I like the traditional jazz format here. Excellent transitions!

[@jeffersondegeus]

Excellent sax player, should play more choruses!!!

[@electrojazz14]

killer band, KR is the man

[@timcummiskey1178]

Ha ha! Whitfield Jr.! Killer! Kurt sporting a Les Paul! Great audio quality. Thanks for posting these.

[@iweigh632pounds]

Crazy how Whitfield Jr. is using some heavier pro marks yet his sound is still so smooth and light

[@timcummiskey1178]

@Chris Cook he's burning 🔥!

[@JuanGabinoMusica]

Amazing!!! The Young energy of Kurt R !!!!!

[@joekniffin9184]

Oh damn I wanted to go that show and missed it . whoa Kurt . damn it's like he is trying to make sure everyone hears the parts . I never heard him clearer than that to be honest. It's all so clear and really states the fact that yea this is minor blues. fn awesome Kurt! Those young players are all great too. Sax man damn. Bring back Bandit 65 please

[@Conine3936]

Entire band is fire! Les Paul sounds great for his style as well. It's on my bucket list to see Kurt Rosenwinkel and his band play in NYC someday. Thanks for the great tunes.

[@tor5457]

Heavenly

[@aymericdoucet6289]

Great solos for everyone!

[@LindblOOm]

Saw Rosenwinkel yesterday. One of my favourites. Aidan McKeon on sax was an interesting encounter.

[@DaMonster]

Kurt is a badass and so are these guys 👊👊👊

[@jeanriff7954]

Mac coin tyner the pianiste 😊 bravo all of you.❤😊

[@czeslawkoepke3330]

Fantastic. Kurt ingenious. Note great solos of J. Block.

[@chrishigginsdrums]

This young man has come so far. I remember once he wanted to sit in with us at Wally's Cafe in Boston. But he handed back the guitar when we called the song, "Giant Steps". He was 18.

[@leclaireguy263]

blood brilliant

[@saltydog9914]

killer riff 6:04 and back to the melody.

[@error9900]

Insane solo

[@ibaneztubescreamer]

Wow this was killer playing by all involved!

[@davidriggs8196]

Wow! Totally bloody brilliant.

[@leclaireguy263]

yay the whole thing & yay the drummer - great!

[@claudedube6814]

Je l'écoutais sur mon Apple maintenant je l'écoute sur mon Samsum et c'est toujour aussi bon 😅❤

[@jwallguitar]

What a banger

[@Javitm7]

Amazing all of them. 🙌🏼

[@etiennedegaulle3817]

Nice!

[@FanDutch]

lp sounds so good

[@michaeld5888]

Beautiful to hear. Great to see this style of music that I have only really heard on my Herbie Hancock CDs being played so well live. My ignorance of course but Jazz is not really publicised much. One of my heroes has always been Lee Morgan and I did not realise he had died and the circumstances until way later!

[@zbclark]

Really cool seeing the excitement in their faces while playing with him

[@leclaireguy263]

Marvellous! now i am retiredi listen to Kurt daily. Master musician/guitarist- so creative

[@adeep_jain]

Alexander Claffy!! Smashing!!

[@jazzalmenasmusic]

Haaa! When he came to the Panama Jazz Fest, we had a talk about how having a jazz box was not necessary to sound jazzy, and how for a good time in his career Ulk Wakenius used a LP... just like Kurtis is using now! Awesome as always!

[@laronlandsun]

Great group!

[@dauphindauphin6607]

Amazing ! This is just next level after Pat Metheny's Song for Bilbao, live on the album Travels.

[@seansegal5112]

Kurt was always meant to play a les paul in my opinion, i mean come on... it sounds AMAZING

[@oooo4861]

Very nice music and playing

[@marcelobrain9360]

Wow!!!!!

[@mrjazzkarabass]

Kurt Amazing jazz compositor!!!

[@worblyhead996]

Great stuff. The chord changes remind me a bit of the song "Povo".

[@gabrieleborgogno7279]

Brilliant!🎶✨

Wow !

[@MDiGiacomo127]

What a phenomenal group! Kurt is such a strong bandleader.
