RARE Branford Marsalis Quartet Live w Kenny Kirkland 1989

[@christopherthomas_happyplace]

This is awesome! That picture was taken at the Monterrey Jazz Fest. I was playing with Betty Carter during that time and B.O.B Hurst used my bass. I think Brian Blade and myself went to see this same group at the Vanguard in 1991...Super Jammin'! Actually, it could have been just trio, but I love me some Kenny Kirkland! - Chris Thomas

[@ertoliart]

Big fan of you man, cheers

RIP Mr. Kirkland.

Great recording!! What a fresh listen! But I'm not sure that's Tain on drums tho. Sounds more like Lewis Nash.

[@jazfyrski]

Excellent! So nice to hear Kenny Kirkland back when. I'd love to see this session released commercially.

[@paxwallacejazz]

caught this band about this time in Seattle. Kirkland was always so very masterful

[@rafizabor7424]

It's called Swingin' at the Haven. There's a version on Royal Garden Blues.

I remember seeing this quartet live at Yoshi's in Oakland...Branford, Watts, Hurst and Kirkland were in rare form!!! OUTSTANDING SHOW!

[@bassisthenrik]

The haven!! So badass!

[@dstol62]

I was at one of these sets and the performance was electric. A recording of all four sets was circulating on the internet at one time.

[@intrepidpooch]

Swingin' at the Haven baby!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Gentlemen

[@gustavakesson2758]

this shit makes me so fucking happy

[@cawallacemusic]

This is some bad shit right here!

[@robertotoledo1501]

Kenny is insane as usual at these tempos, the ideas transcend stupid theory at this point, it's like recursive composition, compositions within a composition.... Wish there was a full recording of this....
