[thesouthofeverywhere]

[trauma15]

complements on guitar player... his tone and stage movemetns and guitar are all like kurt lol.

brass/winds need work.

If it had been a rhythmic or melodic motif, than it would have sounded good, but it wasn't. and this guy isn't Miles. or Ornette. there's a difference between play 'out' and playing 'wrong'. There's no difference in the notes, but in the conviction and the way you play them.

[BlingMasterFunk]

If you play Jazz you know that improvised motifs aren't always in perfect harmony with the progression. Like... umm... Ornette Coleman for example. Don't be like the critics that cursed Miles for what he did just because they didn't truly understand his nature.

"Do not fear mistakes, there are none."

- Miles Davis

It's so easy for people to post comments on you tube, I'd like to see them perform on stage so I can criticize them, if they've actually ever been on stage, that is

[Saxyman14]

I don't know what the Alto player did over the V chord, but, it didn't agree with the harmony at all. Great Guitarist though.

[anzas80s]

probably they wanted a chordal instrument since one of them is basically playing the bass line. i would want the piano tho. i guess it's up to them.

[hotdoggg32]

that guitarist definitely watches kurt rosenwinkel, he's got that right knee forward and bounces like him too...doesnt really play like him though

[MartinKKC]

El solo del guitarrista es decididamente feo.Escalas y recursos y velocidad...y la musica? No se escucha una linea coherente,no hay nada cantable,estaria bueno que mueva un poco menos la mano y vuele un poco mas lejos con las lineas. Saludos.
