Turns - OJM + Kurt Rosenwinkel, Aliados, Porto, 2013

Recorded live at Avenida dos Aliados, Porto, Portugal on september 2013.
Kurt Rosenwinkel Partners With Portugal's Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos
Our Secret World, Released on September 7, 2010
An ambitious Big-Band Reworking of Seven Rosenwinkel Compositions. Kurt Rosenwinkel has always given us music that has conveyed a sense of masterful storytelling & breathtaking imaginative reach. His significance to the ever-evolving jazz tradition in fact transcends the oft-cited lineage of jazz guitar in much the same way that Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter both impacted colleagues much beyond the scope of their respective instruments. For what has perhaps distinguished Kurt more than anything is his one-of-a-kind compositional voice - full of mystery and power, marked by an effortless marriage of high complexity and simple, undeniable emotional appeal. These qualities, hallmarks of Kurt's output from the beginning, are apparent perhaps as never before on a new big band release,

Wow. Amazing composition and performance by Kurt and the orchestra. Kurt’s use of rhythm is remarkable. He layers counter rhythms on top of a pulsing jazz waltz tempo. His articulation of each note is extraordinary. Bravo!

[@fred8097]

Incredible drummer. He's the heart of that whole Zhivago album, swings like crazy.

[@michaelcorenzwit716]

@@samuelaustin3692 Gracias!

[@jimtakahashi4638]

Killer sound, killer weight. Santana had to give up on his Yamaha due to its neck-breaking weight.

[@AlessandroPerez]

The trumpets sucks on this music.

[@Noosphericallyl33t]

Im kinda into it. Kay lots of into it. I think the horns consistancy down beat totally gives me the "Turns" Vibe the title implies.

[@4578a]

You suck

[@harrystocker3337]

I think the soprano sax is even worse. Flat as fuck. Thank god kurt, the drummer and the tenor soloist was so goddam good
