[jazz4life81]

Killin Cats!!!!!!!!!!!

[ftenorsaxist95]

SO DAMN COOL!!! check out "james carter and joshua redman live at carnigie hall" its also heaps of fun!

[Champaggen]

........... can a saxophone go that high?

[gjbsaxman94]

@Champaggen go look up lenny pickett sunday driver in youtube and you'll be surprised to hear it can go even higher

[djkcel]

Has anyone seen the movie? Carter plays Coleman Hawkins, Redman plays Lester Young. Those are the 'characters' you're hearing here

[walsh93jazz]

carter was all show, if he had've maintained the intensity he had at the start it would've been sooooo killer. but he didn't.

redman is out of this world IMO, he practically speaks through his horn

[yiitbbvd]

Whole band is black. If there were only just one white people in there, this wouldn't be the same. Because if you're not black, you can't play blues.

[dahalofreeek]

@yiitbbvd Clapton?

[yiitbbvd]

@dahalofreeek he is an exception.

[pebblefrog196]

@yiitbbvd Everyone can play blues. Not everyone can feel it and play it at the same time. Even fewer people can feel it, play it and make everyone else feel it. lol

[MrSoran]

@yiitbbvd Redman is half black. Does that mean he can only play blues for half of his solo? I'm pretty f**king sure he nailed all of it.

[walsh93jazz]

in carters solo the trill at 2:21 - 2:23 uses fluttertongue. the trill at 2:07 is double tonguing i think.

[tossnturn23]

epic

[tnornapful]

Amazing, these guys are gorgeous. You can listen Carter laughing through the horn. Redman is wordlesssly out of this world. Theyr´re the best tenors ever, of course is my humble opinion , if you disagree G.T. F. O. O. H.

[PlatypusofCalifornia]

Josh is one of the greatest and has incredible lyricism and control, but man here carter is just insanely bluesy. In another situation it would be overplaying but here...naw. Wow

[koschta7]

hey! Has anybody the notes of this masterpiece?

[musicmaster12394]

wht key blues is this in on tenor?

[songsmadeforyou]

@musicmaster12394 press pause on the video... then go to the piano and find what note you would end the song on (then go up two (half steps) notes to transpose for tenor)

[Eszter888]

Orgasmic!!!

[powersported]

wo!!!! @ 2:07 holy mother of god how does he do that trill. That made my jaw unhinge

[mleroy1956]

@powersported well, if you listen to Roland Kirk, you'll hear one of his ancesters, as is George Adams ;-)

[773music]

@mleroy1956  ive seen a video of him at a show and he was so full of energy that he started screaming in the mic. and ive seen the video wen my freind recorded it wen he was a kid and it was live and in it it shows roland kirk snorting cocane and passing it to the audience!!!!! it was amazing the video is out now but with that part cut out.

[jazzmann1984]

@powersported I think it sounded like he was double tonguing it.

[theinvisiblelight]

@powersported I'm pretty sure he's just tonguing really quick. If I'm right, that's really impressive.

[Nartallo66]

Espectacular! La película está muy buena, pero el documental Robert Altman Jazz '34 con la jam session es espectacular. Pocas veces he disfrutado tanto un documental musical.

[jaimeleemannan]

what an amazing saxist!

[robciks4]

Wow ! how did he do that trill at 4:53 - 4:55?

[TanyRyabkowa]

Super!!!! like it!

[goodyearsanti]

estos dos, conjuntamente con Chris Potter, son los que estan haciendo la evolución mas racional/comercial del Jazz de hoy en dia. Sin ellos habria un vacio entre el Jazz clasico y el más vanguardista.

[standrick]

Carter did his thing. Josh told a story though

[usfins]

yahh can buy this CD on EBAY.. wished i coulda bought the film..

[poopsicle45]

I enjoyed Carter's solo more especially in the beginning and that one altissimo note. More soulful, even though J-Red was more lyrical.

[Jon00Wesley00Harding]

Yeah, can't argue with those first few bars of Carter's solo. He really grabs you hard. If he had kept going at that rate, his solo would burn the needle off the record player every time. However, I feel like it petered out after a while, whereas Josh's had a more definite beginning middle and end- real storytelling, dig?

[dannyboy15]

3:36 - carter is laughing at him...!

[bkjbs762]

i think he's crying

[saxamaphoneplayer1]

oh baby

[vanderbiltsax]

XD yes.

[theinvisiblelight]

@dannyboy15 I thought it sounds like crying

[d1thundergod]

nasty.

[Jazzadicto]

indeed!!!

[bxwilliams7]

meeting of two lions...circa ?

[Jazzadicto]

1996.

[lemanu92]

extract of the film : Altman Jazz 34

i'love this thème and specialy the first when it's James Carter plays.

[DonAsturiador]

Mto lokoo 8D

[Jon00Wesley00Harding]

I think Joshua cut James in this one... James' solo is flashier, but Josh is really going for the bigger picture

[mahboy08]

I agree! I think James Carter took the flashy approach, as always, while Josh took the time to capture the blues feel in his playing... Now that's no shot at Carter because I enjoy Carter, I have his PRESETENSE cd and it is Beasty!...I'm just stating the facts!

[theinvisiblelight]

joshua did a lot better.

[Saxation1]

great video. james has such control of his altissimo! really they both do.

[abukamoon]

I met James Carter in New York City a couple of years ago in the Internaional Brass and Woodwind store. I have been playing saxophone longer than he has been on this Earth, and I would love to be able to do half of what he can do!

[malachithomas]

Joshua Redman is one of the best saxophonists i have ever heard!

[koudak93]

Incredible!!!!!!!! Go go go James and Joshua
