It's great to hear Turner using multi-phonics in a Jazz solo ON PURPOSE. All of the honking and squeaking he uses build strange structured chords over the changes. Also this is a very good representation of free-jazz/avant-garde. It usually takes a little cultivation in jazz to understand but it's definitely not for the leisure listener. Personally I liked it.But, to each his/her own right?

As you have nothing to back-up your own playing, you can't really say anything about these guys. And even if you did, there's a pretty good a chance you wouldn't be even close to either Mark's or David's level. Are you familiar with improvising out of changes/time? this is a pretty good example.

These guys are really playing together!

Mark's command of the saxophone is impressive...but he is fun to listen too as he patiently tells HIS story. Music is way beyond like and dislike...i remember starting in listening to jazz....i just tried to notice what was going on without any judgement or questions like ...do i like this or not. the longer i suspend judgment the more i learn

This is so intense, these cats are playing with so much breathing, space and control...the sound of the room and camera doesn't seem that good... this is mastery.

P, Mark Turner's tone is not my favorite, BUT his textures, patience and development of solos based on shapes and colors are a demonstration of artistic mastery. He only sounds like himself-he's really reaching inward, and there is a WHOLE lot to be said for that. Binney has always been a God for me too for the same reasons, but beautiful in every musical way for my ears.

When Coltrane started doing his thing people would criticize him for being anti-jazz. He was killing swing and now you guys are doing the same towards Mark Turner???? 50 years from now someone will be criticizing another guy and saying we have to preserve the good old players like Turner.... get what I'm saying????

[elmecahomaja]

Oh and to the guy who's asking if Mark Turner is black or white...why should that matter???? Haven't we evolved past that? I hope so. His music is great regardless of his race or color. He's a great sax player and this is where the music has evolved towards. We have to start from the older Jazz of course, it's the foundation, but we have to evolve as well otherwise I'd argue for Mozart and how bebop killed classical music. Pointless arguments it's in our nature to explore and evolve.

[elmecahomaja]

This guys are doing their thing, if you like it you like it and if you don't you don't that's it. This world is populated with over 6 billion people and all with individual tastes some like Kenny G some like Mark Turner, personally I prefer Mark Turner and guess what I grew up on Coltrane, Rollins, Getz but as I grew musically I also learned to appreciate this kind of Jazz so just because you don't understand it does not mean it's bad, you just have to educate yourself a bit more.

If we stop playing for ourselves, all hope is gone...
