rome is better than spartacus I think romestreamsonline-dot-info

[kevinm4435]

jochen rueckert is underrated

[lugk14]

as usual i have no words for this guy...

kurt rules the world.

[stratocluster]

I've lent him a "Fulltone Full Drive 2" as overdrive and in that show he sounds very distorted!! We liked also very very much!! As delay I've lent a simple Boss DD3..

[stratocluster]

I've lent him my pedals for a concert in Italy.. He liked so much!! In this tour he hasn't got his pedals if you can see.. He has not found it on airport!!

[kerrycato]

i have the transcription of this and our quartet is going to perform it in a couple of weeks. I'm glad you posted this, it's just so amazing and I'm practicing it right now. This was very helpful!

I heart Kurt!

[carlolaurenzi]

@kerrycato

amazing

[Sandemose]

Im having problem posting on youtube, so this is just me trying...Best, Sandemose

[SindriMar]

Rosenwinkel plays a great solo. I've just started transcribing it!

[krimpman]

some of the most harmonically complex music ever.

[krimpman]

there's gonna be an omnibook of kurt soon, watchout..lol.

[weazelzb]

damn.

[kalco4]

The sound he produces is so full and rich! At times it almost sounds like a human voice. At first I thought there was actually a vocalist singing behind him.

[denjz]

you're right-Kurt always sings along with his playing.Singing is a part of his "signature" sound

[willshakeyou]

yeah, he has this little mic on the collar of his shirt, so he can sing really loud, and we hear just enough to get that awesome sound x)

[Greena1re]

This video is off the hook. Burning! When I saw him play this tune live he didn't change the tuning on his guitar before he played but I'm pretty sure this song was originally written in an alternate tuning. If anyone can solve this mystery let me know.

[Sandemose]

Bb-G-Db-Ab-Bb-Eb There you go.

[cliffworks4321]

Kurt is such a breath of fresh air, man, I love him, he's got it all and does it with aplomb,yes!

[Sandemose]

Anyone tried or know any one who tried one of those Moffa guitars? Really looks and sounds great, and since Kurt is holding one in his hands, it obviously plays great.

[Greggoreus]

Does anyone know what kind of amp he uses? I thought it was a princeton, but it looks more like a single 16 reverb or something. Anyone know?

[Sandemose]

Not really shure, always thought it was a Twin, but Im probably wrong. Check out his board on his mainpage, maybe some there can answer, or even him self...Sandemose

[simguit]

He uses old polytones.

[Sandemose]

He does not use polytones anymore. He tolded us on his board that he changed some time ago when he played at Village Vanguard. He just thought the Polytone sounded flat and dead. So he borrowed Q-tips Twin Amp. And thats what he is using nowdays, acording to him and his mangeger. He now also got a signature model with Moffa and have changed much of his gear as well. TC-electronics, and XoticBoster (the same one Scott Henderson uses I think).

Best, Sandemose

[simguit]

Thanks for the informations. It's true polytone sounds kinda flat but thats what people look for in this amp. I prefer an old blackface era twin tough. much more color but it weighs about a ton (My only problem with this amp). And yeah I saw on Moffa's website that they realeased a rosenwinkel signature model.

[simguit]

On this video, I think he's using a twin tough.

[anandaemail]

i have seen him use twins and polytones

[hc4zrr324]

kurt "facemelting" rosenwinkel all the way!

[whereisevan]

facemelting...hahaha. so true.

[Sandemose]

I agree. What he hears just comes out. Its pointless to talk about knowledge, cus he just got it down so hard we cant even imagine. His influence opon us jazzguitarists (professionals and amateurs = me) is hard to overview...Best, Sandemose

[denjz]

bill who?

[ilikeike87]

No way! Haha. Isn't the point of jazz to innovate harmonically and otherwise?

[jochensucks]

hey what a great cymbal sound. thanks again alitalia!

[davens99]

Rosenwinkel's music is so beautiful. He is perfect.

[ilikeike87]

I love his pentatonic stuff.

[quincophonie]

His guitar was temporary lost in transport.

[SuperCape]

I went to one of his concert in italy some days after this one and his pedals and effects arrived from the airport just one minute before the concert... let's say italian transport are not the most efficent in the world(PS: I'm italian)

[emfolla]

What kinda guitar is he using? It doesn't look like his D'Angelico or Epiphone.

[wommusic]

what does "a typical Rosenwinkel solo" mean? The same as a "typical Miles Davis solo" or a "typical John Coltrane solo"?

[davekinci]

Great chords on piano when he plays the melody at the end of the solo.

Kurt' s solo is a typical Rosenwinkel solo :) but still, he is such a unique player that it doesn' t suck. Great arpeggio work maaaaaan

[teezak]

Aaron Parks is the pianist..i'd say one of my favorties of the younger musicians on the scene right now

[lorenzini]

Wow great pianist. It lists 3 names. Which one is on piano?

[jasoncasper16]

Can't wait to see him! He is such a great player!

[jazzphan12]

oh baby this is sooo bad...interesting to see with no horn
