  • I saw Kenny with Branford just a few weeks before his "unfortunate death" - what a loss to 'the music world" - he will always be one of the jazz greats - coachroche

  • I wish more jazz like this was being created today!

  • @djkcel I totally agree with you - as one who has always said that my claim to fame is that I saw Coltrane twice in person, this is why I rarely listen to any of the "new" stuff - coach roche

  • Holy piano solo, batman!

  • Love Kenny Kirkland? Join our tribute FB group. Search "Kenny Kirkland: Jazz Giant" and you'll find us. (Group #7167098302).

    1100 other people as cool as you (probably cooler) including Herbie, Joey C., and many other friends and people who performed with the one, the only, Doctone.

  • the master class!

  • Wow. Kenny kirklands solo in this vid just changed my life

  • amazing !

  • An immortal performance by Kenny. A master at playing over amazing chord progressions. You live on, brother!!

  • Kenny was and is BAD! Garret is a playin' MF"ER

  • My main man Kenny Kirkland on piano. Miss you man .Love you R I P. Tain making it do what it do. Priceless. Peace

  • Long Live Kenny Kirkland!

  • @colepato23 I saw him a few months before "he passed" at Yoshi's in Oakland with Branford and the same other players - As one whose claim to fame is I saw Coltrane twice in person, Kenny is still one of the 5 best piano players I ever saw in person - just as good as he sounds here - Kenny we do miss you terribly - "Keep Enjoying the Sounds of Jazz" -

  • nat reeves, bass

  • Who all is in the band here? Is it Charnett Moffett on bass?

  • SMOoooooooooooooTHHHH

  • Epic piano solo. Genius!

  • Appreciating enormously

    wow 5***** and up

    Pl see my OBAMA BLUES

  • Really nice playing. I think that you have to be a totally mediocre player, and know that you are, to really appreciate the strength of the stuff happening here.

  • yes!!!!!

  • fuck yeah, i'm playing this on my recital tomorrow night!

  • Kirkland!! I love this band!

  • TAIN!

  • Ha! thats funny!

  • @dannyboy15 no

  • very gooooood players here....

    Thanx to Kirkland for his beautiful pianism!

    (and also to Freddie Hubbard!)

  • Nice song!

    0:42 drummer look like Charles Mingus!!

  • More like Tain Watts.

  • sons nice sons nice

  • My jazz band is playing this @ the reno Jazz Festival.

  • Brother Hubbard. Is this a tribute to the late Freddie Hubbard even before his death?

  • Everything is a tribute to someone even before they die. No one is always going to be alive. Not exactly predicting the future, haha.

  • one of the greatest quartets in Jazz history

  • 6:13- 6:22

  • 4:20 He plays a lick off Miles Davis, from Kind of Blue. Brilliant!

  • Kenny is incredible...great sound¡¡¡¡¡

  • Man this is incredible playing thanks for posting. Btw has anyone here transcribed/took time learn to play like him? I am trying to figure his playing out but it's really hard. For example 2:50-2:53, I think Kenny is going to key of Ebmaj, Dbmaj and he is using pentatonic scales but I can't really be sure. Any help ppl can give me is appriciated. I think kenny is great, He can play really out but a the same time he can swing, I definitely want to have more of him in my playing.

  • jazzsax77: parker a looser haha, you are a little tiny So-Sad person, im so sorry 4 u, if i knew you i would hug you and give u some love... its obvious ur parents never did that. best rigards.

  • robotsandtrash you are a fuckface and your mum is a prick and so is your familiy of faggots

  • ur a cock sucker...

  • you stupid

  • this seems to be some kind of releas party for songbook ,so if anyone know if they played 2 down & 1 across on this gig , could anyone upload that? btw unbeleavable great music!

  • RIP Kenny! Great solo! One of my favorite tunes from Kenny Garrett "Songbook" album. Keep representing Detroit. Kenny G has nothing on you. Your the real Kenny G.

  • when did he die??? im sorry i know u posted this comment 2 months ago.. but i didnt know he died, this is kinda new to me......

  • Br. Kenny Kirkland died like 10 years ago from an heart attack from heroin usage. Drugs has been the downfall of many of great musicians. Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, John Coltrance, Charlie Parker, Lee Morgan, etc. Leave them drugs alone.

    Peace,

  • Being from Detroit myself, let me translate....RIP means 'play hard', R.I.P. means 'rest in peace'. Kenny Garrett is not dead. And neither is Kenny Kirkland; his spirit lives on!

  • Doctone, without any question, was one of the most groid piano players in the 20 years prior to his death. He really could swing !

  • Kirkland - my hero

  • no words can describe what I feel when I listen to this.

  • you fancy kenny

  • Totally dope! KK will never be replaced.

  • KK is just beautiful! I love everything hes done!

  • I don´t have words to this. 10 stars

  • beautiful

  • Yeah KK!
