Zhivago - OJM + KURT ROSENWINKEL

Kurt Rosenwinkel Partners With Portugal's Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos for Our Secret World, Releasing 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,

Guitar? D'Angelico Guitarist? Kurt Rosenwinkel Hotel? Zhivago

[@rogerchesson176]

I am ashamed to say I have never heard of Kurt Rosenwinkle until I read that Eric Clapton said the guy was a guitar genius. So here I am to listen for myself .... Eric Clapton is not wrong, Kurt has another fan, absolutely brilliant jazz guitar.

[@e-money5851]

Ditto here Roger, I’m ashamed of myself 😱

[@caballus1]

You should also listen to Martijn van Iterson and Peter Bernstein

[@NicolaCappellini]

Kurt is so good he's in two places at once!

[@murphyec]

dude straight time traveled

[@inigofustermusica7594]

Nah, they had to hire two Kurts. That is expensive

[@JeremiahFernandez]

No, they partnered with NHGR to test cloning methods

[@benblaste654]

more like he is in allll the places. :P

[@MonitorSmith]

Quantum playing. It's a new thing.

[@filofoto]

There are not enough comments on here on the sound mix. It's spectacular. Stereo at its finest.

[@friesiamans1966]

i hear you and agree! if you like this, i recommend to check the musical making off pixar´s "the incredibles" - i´m a professing pixar fan and since i stumbled into the making off "cars", i know that these guys don´t work for the money in the first place but put a lot of serious heartfelt effort into their works - anyway, in the mentioned film, an hommage to the old sci-fi agent movies, they decided to have real old school big band music - in the making off you can see the giant effort put into realising it, it´s fantastic!

[@Oldmotherhell]

Always with me cans on. It's amazing.

[@bigscofan]

Beauty

[@Bikalakat]

I just made one with quite the opposite opinion. Using earphones, the mix is completely empty in the middle as long as the winds are mentioned. Very unnatural, very unpleasant. Sounds like the engineer dont have much knowledge of the genre.... (guitar, piano in the focus, half of the winds (perheaps the woods) are on the left completely, brass are on the right completely. It's disgusting. Perheaps its not as bad on speakers, if the room isnt very isolated, or you're not in the sweetspot.

[@Bikalakat]

@Matthew Aguirre I'm not a snob, I just know my shit.

[@jamesemerson4102]

Kurt's nodding is head during his own solo thinking "Shit yeah I'm the fuckin best"

[@dclarkmusic]

These jazz players are SO CLEAN. No fret buzz or anything even while shredding

[@anarchynz]

the care and effort I imagine was put into the setup of this recording

[@oteiri78]

Kurt's playing is so melodic and the way he creates the solo and adds more tension into it little by little is astounding. He's a true master.

[@jeffreycohen7614]

Absolutely fabulous the ways melodies build and drive you. It is energetic and evocative.

[@NotYourTypicalNegro]

Aside from Kurt, this song would not be as awesome as it is without the superior drumming. I don't know who that guy is but he's swinging hard as f*** on this record. He keeps the energy going at a high level on this tune.

[@papanimes]

It's Marcos Cavaleiro! I've seen him live and he's amazing! Check out Impermanence and Bode Wilson, for more of this awesome drummer

[@TheSYTEK]

@@papanimes If you like rock music, also check out the band Spill "What would you say ", they have two drummers, one is Marcos; For jazz check out "Passarola Voadora" on spotify, Marcos, Demian and Jose Pedro, all members of this orchestra . Enjoy

[@papanimes]

@@TheSYTEK Sou tuga pá! Conheco o André Fernandes, mas nunca ouvi Spill, vou checkar Abraço!

[@TheSYTEK]

@@papanimes Hahaha desculpa bro, mas procura, também está no spotify

[@mudejartrainingnaturalscie6938]

how about that conductor though?

[@xeniebaby]

I've listened to this about 100 times and never get tired of it

[@friesiamans1966]

oh, it´s just one and a half dozend here, but i keep working, haha - and - - - not tired at all, in fact discovering new delicate details every time... cheers my friend

[@friesiamans1966]

@@normandy2501 good work mate - i just have to think of one of my specials from my younger years: "concerto for orchestra" by bela bartok - i discovered it among my mom´s classic records, and i was fascinated by that eerie owl looking at me from the cover, which was of course a portrait of bartok himself - i listened to the music and got hooked immediately - that was when i was 16/17 if i remember right - from then on i kept listening to it over and over again - the nicest hearing was almost a decade later when i visited a friend in berlin - when i woke up in the morning, a warm and sunny summer morning, the window was wide open and i heard a strange music which found its way from another open window, through the dust bins and bicycles in the dusty backyard, straight into my ears: the "concerto" - yes!!! i turned around in the bed, snuggled in and listened and it were the whole fuve movements from start to end - incredible... :-) then again some years later i payed a lot of money to see it being performed live by orchestra - i thought i knew every tone ad part, but - - - again i discovered so many new turns in that piece, wow! i can only say: i´m very thankful for experiences like these... :-) all the best to you from germany, keep going........

[@luisalbertodiazyubero5382]

Me too

[@juanvaquero41]

now it´s time dude

[@Jingles466]

Bright light, bright as tge sun this man radietes, beautiful soul, heavenly.

[@georgekgang2021]

This gets to prove that jazz is still strong and vibrant genre

[@dintubnybis]

Agree. Jazz have recovered from fusion without becoming dry traditionalist orthodoxy.

[@Frapzoid]

+George Kgang Jazz will never die.

[@epserps5055]

Steps forward in the jazz language. I've listened to all from kurt's music I can. It's about not only guitar virtuosity but composition, music itself.

[@JamesScottGuitar]

the melody and 12/8 pattern is what draws the distinct Metheny correlation....Kurt is a badass regardless....oh, and the vocal unison too. Go Kurt !

[@Eradicateify]

The energy in this and the structure of the tune is just amazing. Kurt is really a fantastic composer and a guitarist. The melody is so strong it even sticks without the harmonies/punches/countermelody/pads.

[@ytpaletot1]

Longtemps que j'avais pas entendu un si beau morceau.. Un très grand guitariste, avec un très bon orchestre et de beaux arrangements !!!

[@digsjazzalot6022]

I love this piece! Kurt is so lyrical and one of those cats that has truly found his own voice...

[@slowmotion6870]

HELL YEAH... makes me think of the Steve Mcqueen movie era.. Awesome tune, great playing. This is the first i hear of K. Rosenwinkel as i was looking for some new inspiring jazz artists. Made my day !

[@oteiri78]

One of the best recordings ever.

[@bigscofan]

I can’t stop watching and listening! This one is fantastic! Thanks Kurt and all!

[@keithhodiak8577]

Beautiful collaboration I love the whole production. The guitar is my favourite instrument. Kurt is amazing plus I love the arrangement. Many thanks to all participants.

[@Johncowk]

[@janvanpelt5572]

I've heard it a hundred times over the years and the beauty of it amazes me still !

[@kirkbp1965]

I've watched this video maybe 50 times and I never get tired of it.
