Branford Marsalis - Dienda

Its a beautiful tune. Such a shame we lost Kenny. He's playing was something else.

Is that you Sammy??

It's me Roddy!!! It's snowing in Zurich so I'm just watching videos of Kenny.

He the man...

how could he be so great at new york jazz and his brother be so great at new orleans jazz!? thats an amazing family

Do you know his dad? An amazing pianist, and his other brothers are also amazing musicians!

ONe of the truly great musicians of our time.  What a loss. I loved his playing w/Wynton.

i'd really like you to post all the vid man !! oh yeah :)

Paul Motian wrote "trieste".

I hear how great Jarrett was/is. I own, gosh, 15 Jarrett records. For some reason EMI releases a 7-disc-set of him every year. And I know Kenny dug him. My point is that other pianists had a bigger influence on KK. And, sure Motian wrote Trieste, but it's fair to call it a Keith song since Keith recorded it in 1977.

I'm reacting against people that hear pianists like KK and Mehldau as Jarrett/Evans clones. KK was well-studied, with phenomenal roots, but was greater than the sum of those parts.

Doctone, I have the video tape of this concert, would you mind posting "Lament" thanks

I don't want to hear Jarrett doing this track either - KK is my personal favourite piano player. I was merely pointing out the KK was a massive fan of Jarrett. These are Tain Watts' words not mine: "Kenny told me that if I didn't hear how great that Keith Jarrett was, that I was stupid","Kenny used to love Keith". I suggest you "behave" and if you don't agree take it up with Mr Jeff Tain Watts. Cool conversation though..
