Joshua Redman - St.Thomas

[tribeking5]

lol he gave a master class at the monterey jazz festival last year and he definately isnt a good teacher as far as words are concerned. His playing though... its magic haha

[fighterace0]

2 people thought they knew how to play piano

[dgianaris]

This getting cut off at the end is a crime against humanity

[MrArcherc]

is wynton on drums?

[sandm827]

Brad 24yr, Brian 24yr, Christian 22yr, Joshua 25yr. I thought jazz was for old people lol

[123must]

Absolutely stunning ! It's just major triads moving up in fourths ,yes !

A lot of thanks

[josephem]

does anyone know the chord progression for this piece? im tryin to learn how to improv and this would be a nice to start off with. ..I'll have to get really good to do what he's doing though lol

[wiliscool]

@josephem buy some fake books, or real books, and go crazy!

[shepshep2424]

the definition of long form soloing right there

[saxjazz21]

Great pianist, also plays on the album Timeless Tales where he plays wonderful to.

[PeterGarofaloJazz]

Is 6:44 a quote from anywhere specifically? sounds like some classical lick but I don't know for sure

[shepshep2424]

@PeterGarofaloJazz

I am almost certain he just substituted Bird Changes, but I could be wrong

[SkiptimusPrime]

@PeterGarofaloJazz It's just major triads moving up in fourths :) he does it again quickly right around the 7min mark :)

[jazzviscosity]

some of joshua redmans playing seems a little bit flashy. he seems like a showman at times. playing all that altissimo shit. but this is pretty sweet. and 6:44 my jaw came undone

[WatsonBrosMusic]

I hear MB!!!!!

[Truelight0]

Wow!!!!

[gjbsaxman94]

niice this reminds me of a calmer version of brecker

[alphaJA]

What is he playing at 6:44????

[mwesterholm]

@alphaJA It's called "jazz," and Brad studied how to play it at NASA. :-)

Seriously, though, my ears hear him move from that unison 2-hand, to a clave pattern with 10ths between the 2 hands. Brad's left hand is . . . breath-taking. And his face is so calm, like he's hearing tomorrow's weather forecast. The video fades out right before you see all the pianists in the audience commit suicide.

[tangneyk]

@mwesterholm Brad looks so calm cause he just shot up.

[TripleOctaveMusic]

@alphaJA A song.... lol

[saxralle]

[IamGwalty]

[acidbug]

wow this is actually my favorite playing from brad...I've never seen him play so...bop before lol, for a while there I actually thought he just couldn't....silly me. He totally smoked the stage.

[DomPusey]

Redman is at the top of his game!

along with so many others...

[Ta9998]

wow, just enjoy. brilant!

[Vitruvian42]

That entrance was genius. I need to listen to more of this guy.

[HarrryHood]

bomb. this song is sick.

[blakguitar]

I first heard this song in my history of jazz class.

When i heard the intro, i was like wtf?

But this song is ssssssoooooo great.

[manwich007]

what a BADASS lineup!!! holy shit!!!

@ blakguitar: yes, the intro is out - it's some genius stuff if you listen closely. the tune is all up in there

[juancheras]

is that brad mehldau on piano???

[Rodgebi]

@juancheras Of course.

[deagle1]

damn wheres the rest?!!

[sansiripurple]

! Wow. It has been posted just a few days ago... I was looking for St. Thomas by Joshua Redman...! Thanks.

[vanderbiltsax]

excellent. he really sounded a lot like branford in this time period. although he still, of course has his own unique and entirely tasteful style. I love Joshua Redman. altissimo is impeccable.
