Kenny Garrett Quartet - Two Down and One Across 1/2

[UcommonAdmiration]

somebody give chris dave a speeding ticket!!!

[IamIamView]

My Lord! This makes one forget how bad music in general is these day.

[drummerboynz]

So honest !

[drummerboynz]

So honest !



[JeffreyMulac8]

Holy crap. Kenny is an absolute genius. lIsten to his solo on Jeff Tain Watts CD Detained at the Blue Note- "Mr. JJ." It will blow your mind. Coltrane with an alto. This is also Chris Dave years ago. What an incredible talent, so diverse. This experimental, improvising hard bop is still king.

[Dubstep77]

swingin'!!!!!!!

[yarpyarp85]

Well, fuck me. - _ -

[dmcdaniel9]

O.O

[drumz47]

Pure rawness. Love this vibe.

[xXmasterbasserXx]

2:48 WOW

[rosatijazz23]

This is great! they are all on such a high level individually.

and then the way they are playing off each other makes the energy of the music so much higher. i would of loved to see this live.

and oh yeah chris Dave is the man as always

[daddysevenpointfiver]

this guy is up there with coltrane, he would have loved him

[blueroan4]

hes like a pendulum

[martinsax19]

magnifico sonido

[aaronblakey1984]

byooooooorg!! thats some kick ass byorg right there!!!

[kevinm4435]

what dave is doing with the high-hat... more people should do that, it sounds fucking nuts.

[danbcarson]

Wow.

[NateParton]

chris dave grooves hard, but he swings like a mofo too. goddam!

[joshkmusic]

holy shit. so much soul in Garrett's playing! the whole group is so tight. serious chops in all four musicians

[daerp]

OMG

Rippin'

[TenorSaxx]

Jesus Christ. That was rediculous. Kenny's shit is SO good.

[Jazzelegance]

@TenorSaxx He is one of the best cats, an original.

[Svetty00]

Reminds me of A Love Supreme.

[epasurr]

haha i was just thinking chris dave reminded me of elvin with those last two crash hits at the end

[BeatsNKarats]

Kenny Garrett, probably the most prominent alto saxist working today. My fave behind bird, cannon, woods, stitt...lol. I dunno, I just havent seen a more electric alto player guys, imagine improve so rythmically as he does. But TBH my mom hates how me moves too lol!

[jazzsax77]

thats funny, cos i like you mums movements

[hahabass]

Oh nnnnnnnnnnno! That's below the belt!!!!

[Omills07]

Garrett's sound is a lazer, and I am the target.

[nabilhc]

Reminds me of Elvin Jones!

[JuanDa1094]

it sounds like a fruit machine at 3:50

[Legacyoftain]

Spittin' hawt fire on this cut....did this track with my quartet..I love playing to this tune.

[mistofmisery]

jesus chris dave is my idol, un-fucking-believable.

[danbcarson]

SICK PLAYER, but he's gotta stop moving for like a second! And please don't tell me that it's about the passion and the music, because I know. It's just annoying to see him go up-down-up-down-up-down all day long. But still, my favorite alto player to LISTEN to!

[pablosaxo]

i love his movements jaja

[Saxyman14]

God, your idea of a live show would be so fucking boring. You gotta do what you're comfortable with, and if moving around helps him express himself, let him do it. If you wish to sit still, good for you. but, Everybody moves when they play. It isn't in your control. If you're focused on not moving, you arent focused on the music. The day I learned that, I got a lot better.

[thinjointmortar]

shut the fuck up man.

[ohmah2001]

Wow!

[zenbassie03]

Kenny Garret and Chris Dave. This song is so bad ass i almost cried

[otnas01]

Any man who claims he can blow more than Kenny let him stand up now or forever hold his peace.We should all be thankfull that we are sharing this world with a Jazz Master!

[vividreasons]

i would marry him/

[WeSoundGoodMan]

At the end where Kenny and Chris are facing each other, they know exactly where they are because Chris does them hits with Kenny when they go back into the head.

[MannerzJM]

oh ,

[WeSoundGoodMan]

PURE EMOTION...

[jeremyadam19]

CHRIS DAVE ON DRUMS

[handelbm]

I saw Kenny Garrett live when I was 14 and I've been hooked ever since; i'm now 21 and a saxophone major in college and Garrett is one of the guys I try to emulate most when I play the alto.

[boricuatrumpet69]

why dont you emulate yourself!!!!! I hate to go to a show and listen to a musician sound exactly like another musician. What's the point of being a musician. Might as well be a DJ. Like Wallace Rooney is to Miles Davis you would be to Kenny Garrett. Why haven't I found an album from Rooney. My point exactly, he "emulates" Miles Davis. A lil advice create your own and watch how far you get.

[handelbm]

I do try to play with my own unique sound, but I find myself using the playing of guys like Garrett, Brecker, Cannonball, etc. as a reference when I play my own music.

[MannerzJM]

everyone needs inspiration and idols man.

[brownlee1867]

it's the music of guys like kenny that keep me from switching to tenor

[chrisjazzdrummer]

Saw Kenny in at Ronnie Scotts in London..... f**king unbelievble..best gig I will probably ever go to

[holygroove2]

Came back to check out Dave's swing chops... I don't know what to think yet. Most of it is so dense... he's really digging in. Seemed like the only conclusion was to have Dave and Garrett play towards the end. I hear that Dave can swing, but he doesn't do it in the traditional way.

[112893LILdrummer]

i saw kenny garrett at yoshis a couple not to long ago and it was one the best performances i had ever seen i mean it was just so good this is a legend right here

[jazzsax77]

not as good as kenny g. (not)

[MilesTrane21]

I'll be honest, I don't listen to much current jazz because everybody seems to be doing what's been done before. Kenny Garrett is a brilliant exception.

[Saxyman14]

Chris Potter, Dave Holland, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, Brad Mehldau.

[MilesTrane21]

I haven't listened to Chris Potter (I'll make a note of it), I love Dave Holland, I like Pat Metheny, I love Michael Brecker and while I respect Brad Mehldau, I've never really enjoyed his music.

[Saxyman14]

they were just suggestions. take them how you will.

[MilesTrane21]

Thanks for them anyway. I didn't mean to offend you in any way.

[Saxyman14]

No damage. But I have another name for you. Wayne Krantz. More specifically, the trio from '97 with Keith Carlock and Tim Lefebvre.

[MilesTrane21]

cool

[ReggaesRockers]

Sounds like Trane on alto on this one.

[ryegi]

This is the rawest jazz right here!! Chris and Nat are working their butts off swangin so hard!!!! I love it!!!

[brianbrave]

These CATS JAM.....!!!!

[kmbackid]

I like those drummers too - they both take notes from Brian Blade though!

[ugetsu96]

Break neck fast...take no prisoners intensity, wonderful interaction...inspirational!

[jvflute87]

Chris Dave is the hardest swing drummer I've heard in my life! I like Tain better but He's greatly influenced by Tain! It's awesome cause when he swings it's not swing anymore its something else!!!!!

[logicalargumentz]

i def like Tain better but wow. Chris Dave puts his own thing on Swing!! Maybe a little too much snare....

[raittis]

this is awesome

[Mattorious]

Killin'!
