In this video Josh was demonstrating a concept that he had just taught in the class. In my opinion this solo is not very "Sonny-esque." He just uses that one quote from how Sonny interprets the melody.

Unless you're Rollins, try not to critique someone like Redman.

Not only did Joshua Redman teach a valuable lesson with his music, but vova47 taught us once again that the only way to be more full of shit than eating at Chipotle every day for a month is to be a critic on the internet.

what is 'good'? a bunch of 16th notes? fast 8th notes? He had some really interesting note choices and fit several motifs in a 2 minutes span. Perhaps the real issue is some people cant hear the changes without a piano...

@ChasinTranes sounds like you dont know what you're talking about..

[ChasinTranes]

Doesnt sound like he knows the lyrics or even the tune too well for that matter 

[SupahflyJazzguy]

@ntvito I'm not saying that either. They obviously aren't perfect and are prone to mistakes, it's just they generally know more, so I don't want to come off as a pretentious, entitled prick.

@SupahflyJazzguy I mean I respect that opinion, but I'm just saying there is always a place for criticism. just cause someone has more expirience than you, doesn't mean they can't be wrong. that's so important to realize.

[SupahflyJazzguy]

@ntvito It just doesn't make much sense to criticize someone who knows more about something than you do. The thing about this solo is that it wasn't meant to be "good" per se, he was just exploring some abstract ideas and apparently, demonstrating something. So criticizing it for not being good is just dumb.

if you don't mind tenorsaxman701, do you mind sharing what the concept was redman had shared with you guys? (:

[djpublius]

wow, I guess all these Jazz Studies majors posting here are the ones who 'really' know what jazz is about..... Redman shouldn't have gone to law school, maybe thats what his playing is 'lacking' [sarcasm]
