Kurt Rosenwinkel Group - The Next Step [2004]

[contremisart]

bad ass band

[MrMetalMayhem]

new school jazz...

[aaronlebos]

Ive seen this a million times...and just tonight I REALLY realized how organic and unpredictable Kurts lines are...and Brad...pffff

[aaronlebos]

@aaronlebos oh yeah and Larrys lines and tone are just amazing...and his time...yeah...thats it

[aaronlebos]

@aaronlebos oh yeah and at 7:00, thats swingin like crazy!

[ZeppelinFan122]

You end the solo section with Mehldau for a reason. Frickin' righteous.

[y34r]

i just downloaded whole concert dvd

must say,ITS AWESOME

Tasty solo all the way

[UniversalOnion]

This is an absolutely ridiculous power band. Rosenwinkel managed to get Meldau and Redman, two major players who usually play in bands under their own names in a band under his name here. This is really a collective, and it sounds amazing.

[UniversalOnion]

@Bartekdex I suppose Vin Diesel does resemble the great Joshua Redman a bit.

[flippenpinoi]

mehldau goes into brad mode at 7:35. his existence is the reason why i question mine.

[pearlrumdrum]

@flippenpinoi deep

[dcasasorozco]

Mehldau es impresionante

[bopcat]

Swings.So.Hard.

[hippiesruleon]

Ali is out of controllllll!

[Bartekdex]

Vin Disel on Sax.

[Mattieval]

Rosenwinkel makes my winkel rosen.

[aleksandersucharski]

mezzo is repeating their stuff. i hope to catch the whole gig someday...

[suhrgavin]

what painting is behind them?

[bintix]

@suhrgavin It's the Jazz à Vienne festival in France

[PauliReinert]

So there wasn't a person in the whole of Vienna to give Ali Jackson something to anchor his hi-hat with?

You can literally see it inching away every time he steps on it.

[contremisart]

all star band, much more alive than the album recording

[paisteguy799]

mehldau has so much fucking swag in his playing, just so musical, he will go down in the same sentence as keith jarrett, bill evans, oscar peterson, hancock, etc

[Cyllmegil]

All star band.

[ShablulZoem]

this is incredible... superb musicians!!!!!!!!!

[quiltmaster89]

this is the only time where you'll see kurt, brad and redman all together at once..

[89korgos]

Brad´s solo is just amazing.....the whole band is unbelivable.

It would be awsome if this line up played more times together...

[Mattyfbinks]

Redman's solo is pure feel

[Jessevaenrulos]

Mehldau is Spock at 1.25

[Siska0Robert]

@Jessevaenrulos haha he is! live long a prosper, brad

[bintix]

Cette vidéo me fait bander!!!

[bintix]

Ils déchirent tout les 5!!

[DarthClam]

Holy shit Brad looks like a mannequin here haha

[bintix]

Where can I find the whole concert????

[666quebec666]

@bintix tu vois je ne crois pas que ce soit un "concert complet" j'ai vu une autre vidéo (use of light - kurt), même endroit, même évènement, mais au lieu d'être le 9 juillet, c'est le 4. je suppose donc que le groupe performait une chanson par jour (ou qqch du genre) pour ce festival de jazz.... si tu as d'autre informations à propos de ce spectacle, j'aimerais en savoir plus car, comme toi, j'adorerais avoir l'intégrale :P

[bintix]

@666quebec666 Je pense que les deux vidéos (use of light et the next step) font parti du même concert. Je pense juste que le festival n'a diffusé que deux enregistrement du concert (va savoir pourquoi...).

[kmbackid]

this was the A-Team, minus ballard...

[paisteguy799]

@kmbackid ali's not too shabby himself, very different, personally i like jeffs style a bit better, but ali has alot of emotion in his playing

[lalefa]

f....ck spoke captain

[aaronlebos]

Mehldau's solo is true art...

[paisteguy799]

this should have like 50 million views...sad the way people dont understand the most advanced and creative form of human expression, which is jazz

[mansudra]

8.53 fucking amazing.

[icecreamforcrowhurst]

8:53... maaan

[HatHare89]

4:08-4:21... outrageous! transcendent.

[Justino08]

Stupid good group... some of the most killin' players on every instrument.

[wagnem06]

Beautiful sound.

[Francoisdiomaiuta]

kurt should stop playing while joshua is solioing. maaan.....

[shawn195]

@Francoisdiomaiuta At the beginning and end joshua and kurt have solo sections together. I think it sounds awesome. although others have said the same thing on previous uploads of this video. as far as solos Brad comps for Kurt, Kurt comps for Joshua and and Brad comps himself. unless your saying you dont like Kurts accompaniment on josh's solo. I think its GREAT!

[Francoisdiomaiuta]

@shawn195 Yeah this is a common technique that they alternate. But i think its really important that you have you quiet points in a piece, and specially in a solo. I really like brad comping for kurt because you dont really listen to him when kurt is soloing, when joshua is soloing i really have do hide kurt to follow joshua. Joshua is really telling a story and i think Kurt dosent fit with his ideas to that what joshua wantet to say :)

[riddleman65]

@Francoisdiomaiuta

"I think it's important to have quiet points in a piece"

Listen to some McCoy with Henderson. No quiet points needed.

[ramenfreak3]

@Francoisdiomaiuta I agree completely. I do think in this case it may have had something to do with the mixing of the audio - brad was mixed quieter and kurt may have been in the front more so his comping seemed a bit obtrusive.

[misteredwino]

@Francoisdiomaiuta That's an interesting point, I thought the same thing. Peace.

[ShablulZoem]

best modern jazz song ever

[05yoav]

swings like helllllllllllllllllllllllllll!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mighselph]

thank you doriangrey27

[gtralisfr69]

Seriously, this song is fucking amazing.

[Macktones]

Great to see this back up ! there were many of the older Kurt and Mark Turner videos as well as these with Brad Mehldau that went missing. Thanks for posting ! Nice to see all of these killing musicians again 

[DayneHerndon]

Man, Ali Jackson is KILLING it on drums!

[sweetfly66]

@DayneHerndon .... reminds me of Blakey but with 21st century chops

[gentilguy]

you know those 2 videos were on youtube a while ago and got deleted? probably because of copyrights.

thanks for putting them back here, but for how long?

[kgrew99]

@gentilguy If you're referring to nunoalpi's channel, I believe he was banned for uploading too much. IMO it was the best channel on youtube. It's bs because this stuff absolutely needs to be shared. Hopefully our friend doriangrey here will be able to use a little more discretion and be in there for the long run.

 Great stuff! And the rest of your uploads are equally as badass. Many thanks.
