One of the most impressive double bass solos of ALL TIME.
Yep!! I thought Larry Grenadier's solo on Nice Pass was good (which it is), but this is INSANE!!
Such a beast.
The intro is exactly what my highschool friends thought Jazz sounded like, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
wow. that 7 minute solo just flies by. literally had my attention the whole time
Also how the heck does Brian Blade always have the best solo? He's just so good
Jesus Christ !!!!
Mehldau is monstrous here.
That solo just had everything, endlessly fascinating, beautifully melodic, the stretching of time to almost breaking point and then bringing it back with apparent ease and musicality so gorgeous that it gives you goosebumps.
Please please please, reform this exact quartet and go on tour.
Imagine how much they've all evolved on their own journeys since then and then what theyd each bring to the table as a result, individually and collectively now.
Surely it would be beyond mindblowing what they could do ?
Reform this quartet
Reform this quartet !!!!!
Got a new album coming this year :)
And they reformed

Ur wishes come true.
:,)
9:37 I love Brian Blade
I got so annoyed by the end of that intro until the band came in. Then I realized something: sometimes you have to hold back and let the awkwardness of the space in the music take hold. That really draws people in. Then you play and you realize what you were missing all along. I appreciated that lesson, Mr. Redman. Squeal on!
Brad Mehldau frightens me :)
unreal. makes me question why i bother playing!
High on smack
Forces In Motion
Brad is higher...!!!
@@the_wheelbarrow_of_pathos He got off it though, probably not during this period though
Me too. Even when he is not playing like at 13:02
this is without doubt one of the finest quartets in jazz history
i agree
What?? There's a trio, not a quartet. The band leader plays nothing.
Carlos Maciel There are 4 people. Quartet means 4 people
agreed
its also by far my favourite recordings of Brad Mehldau
@@montecardenas-metal1172 no asked for you to spew your completely unsupported opinion that Joshua Redman is overrated. Why bash on a the whole group which includes the almost undisputed greatest living drummer and freaking Brad and Christan? Everyone of those artists contributions to the genre will be heard for decades to come. On top of all that each one of them has the most amazing outlook on life and approach to music I've ever heard. Redman has one award after award after award and played with every great he was alive to play with and has done seemly everything there is to do, yet he doesn't think he's good. He thinks he's still learning just the same as me or anyone else and the same goes for everyone else on that stage. I think you be extremely hard pressed to name any group that did as much as they did and made way for careers as endlessly inspiring as theirs.
These guys were all under 25 when this was recorded, unreal
I was having an okay day until I read this
I was lucky enough to play with Josh in the high school all star band at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1986. He was already this good at 17.
vargaso I'll have to accept the fact that I'll be mediocre for all my life.
what..?? 25...??
@@jvegaalbela hh77h7
I can't help but laugh when seeing Redman live. His antics while playing are just so funny to me. Still killin thouigh.
@@ViziaFilms James Farm
it’s honestly because he just has so much fun performing, and it’s palpable
damn when they start swingin in brad's solo holy moley
I was like this😱
Brad was simply I do not know how to describe his playing. Christian 😳 Brian superb
What sets Redman apart from so many others is his intonation and tone. Nice to get a close up of his embouchure on this vid. We all have the ability to play those lines, maybe not in a performance setting, but if you work hard enough... but only he can do it "off the cuff" in a performance. Truly amazing. I wonder who his repair tech is.
we don't all have the ability to play those lines though :) (speaking for myself at least)
@@mtwoh Yes you do! Slowly one note at a time!
its cool seeing his fingers switching through altissimo fingerings when he's doing those slides.
McBride Bass Solo... From Another Galaxy... Awesome !!
Oh my...some of the greatest our time...can't get any better than this.
I suppose when Sonny Rollins listened to this interpretation of his composition by such young he must've said wow
Absolutely fucking amazing! The whole quartet is on fire from start to finish.
I couldn’t say if any better 🤟
I think my face just melted…
😂 🤣 🤣 🤣. Yeah. Me too!!
Military class training exercises, Class, chops beyond belief put to the right cause always🎶🎵, and a perfect song too. Having fun is the key & both is the key, in one to twelve keys baby. Good work!✌️🎵🎶🌈😇📀💛🔒🔐
Brian Blade, that is all.
Yup!
👌
And what a band! So much artistic firepower on that stage, it's really breathtaking.
What a legendary crew!
Simply brilliant, St. Thomas is alive.
Freaking insane....OMG, these guys were on their game. WOW!
The chorus of Brad is just a miracle ... I'm just waiting a few seconds to go back listening to it.
Goodness- that intro- I was listening without looking and thought I was listening to two players..!
Me too!
Holy rhythm section
OMG,amazing musicians,
One masterpiece, inspired by another.
20:42 it sounds like McBride is intentionally fliping the beat here. He gets right back on at the end of the form. What a trickster
intentionally? Hmm...
@@MichaelBB i think he intentionally did that. Otherwise its impossible to be that precise to come back right at the end of the form without a hesitation on that insane tempo.
@@LH-jo7os might be possible with the heads up the sax gave him
@@trevorsmith8950 nope. Mcbride too good to play for nearly 20 mins then lose it. Was obviously intentional
Joshua is a beast. Amazing technique and style.
Amazing sax solo!
Yes! Inspirational!
Awesome !
Please mooooore!!!
Christian McBride ladies and gentlemen
that was insane!!!
machine gun bass
A 24 year old Brad mehldau :O
modern monsters. Brad and Joshua..Giants!
Wonderful performance! Lots of energy. It all comes back to how you approach the rhythmic pulse. So many possibilities if you can balance the concrete with the (more) abstract.
This quartet drives me crazy! Awesome! Thank you for posting this. 👍🏼
what a powerhouse quartet
So young, so good, so classy. Wow.
Fancy meeting you here lol
Haha hey man! What a phenomenal concert eh
@@maffroo Oh yeah! Defintifely favourite performance of all time.
Wow! I think I’ve only seen this video and maybe another, but I see that LOFT has posted the full thing which is awesome. I’ll definitely be watching it all soon :)
@@maffroo You won't regret it! There's also a really good show at Newport in 1993 with the same quartet on RUclips.
Brad Brad Brad...superb
Sonny would be approve,for sure. Just an amazing performance!!
Tremendous and OUTSTANDING! These GUYS are AWESOME! Brad Mehldau can play that Piano! I've heard him playing under his name and will seek to listen to him again.
Hopefully since you’ve posted this comment you’ve had a chance to check out his Art of the Trio albums. Fun fact: Jorge Rossi, the drummer on those albums, actually went to Berklee on a trumpet scholarship. Now I think he’s mostly playing piano in groups these days, if I remember right.
Thanks a lot for this!
Petr Agapov hahaha you like this video too?
@@rishiyildiz4000 I love them! One of my favorite bands! 😉
Este bajista es único!!
On 🔥 fo’sho!
redman coming back in after the first small drum solo sounds like unrepentant joy
Brad Mehldau is a star. He has this cool demeanor on his playing if that ever existed
Brian Blade incinerated the stage !
Jeez the bass is good
Fresh!
10:07 hard to make any assumptions of Brad's intentions, but seems to me like one of the finest examples of validating a fluffed note through emphasis and recontextualisation
The way the drummers head nods at the same time as that note 🤯
There are no wrong notes if you contextualize them properly! Good observation there.
That immediately caught my attention too. Which I think was the point. He lays into it.
I don’t think it was a wrong note. I think he deliberately flatted it.
I mean, there have been deliberately quirky (SOMEtimes) players, since the days of Charles Ives and Béla Bartók! Not to mention Thelonius Monk… Bud Powell…Jaki Byard …. ERROLL GARNER , even (I’d hafta say, Erroll’s my personal god. - lol 😂)❤- Charlie “Bird” Parker, etc. … Jes’ sayin’. - Momentary little dissonances. Just for the heck of it! To keep our ears sharpened. - Playfulness.
joshua genius!
Incredibile....tecnica ma anche tanta musica.... così giovani....
Mehldau sending Brian Blade and Christian McBride into the stratosphere during that solo. And me too.
Number one!
Great 4
That rhythm section
Geeze that bass solo seemed😅 effortless!!!!!beautiful
10:10... this man went off.
The syncopated restatement of the theme in the left hand is brilliant.
미쳤다..크 핵소름
Christian McBride The "Presnel Kimpembe" of the bass ! They look similar to me and they're great in the back.
They're bon vivants, too.
Super improvisation
Hands down Christian McBride understood what Redmond was trying to do and surpassed it with aplum. What a master class!!! Just a fun standard they clearly loved.
9:43 "And on piano...the youngest son of The Brady Bunch...ladies and gentlemen...give it up for Bobby Bradeeeee!"
6:58 You can hear him screaming into it!
It's hard to find a quartet past or present that can go toe to with these cats--this is historic
Only the John Coltrane Quartet
Billy Hart Quartet with Mark Turner
Brain Blades oh my Lord
🌻
4:45 sounds like Also Sprach Zarathustra
21:21 Ool Ya Koo! Diz Tune
Brad mehldau solo at 7:30
That tenor sax set is really in good response. Superb. Selmer i guess.
I feel like I didn’t breath 25 minutes long. Crazy.
This is literally the single greatest jazz performance in all of recorded history!
It is the greatest performance I can recall. It is total mind-blowingly beautiful and satisfying on every possible level🤟
Certainly don’t suck that’s for sure!!
Try Miles Davis live at the Plugged Nickel
É incrível a agilidade do Blade. Fora a versatilidade. Excelente trabalho!
Brian Blade!!
Overall a very jazzy performance!
accurate jazz comment right here
Просто монстры, очень круто)
Jazz is a part of my life every day but just skip to 7:00 because the intro will make most newcomers turn around and go back to three chords. Monster muscianship without a doubt.
McBride and Blade as babys... XDXDXD
Reminds me of Delta City Blues.
Sax resonance.up thumbs.
Brad Malabu solo: 7:30
Brad's solo is very similar to his solo on The Deserving Mary. Same ideas.
MOST people go out of their way NOT to squeak the sax...this guy has made an art form out of it. I looked it up, and apparently it is very difficult to do, with control.
Then you should listen to Chico Freeman and Pharoah Sanders.
@@nathleflutiste Thx, will do, but I still stand by "most" in my original comment. ;-) I've found a lot of excellent music (and a lot of junk, too) from suggestions like this from YT commenters, thus the Thx.
@@MrJdsenior Well, what I will say will not please some jazz listeners, but some of the music from Jazz musician is a bit extreme, so I totally understand your opinion, and for exemple there is a lot of Pharoah Sanders music like that. But from time to time it's possible to find some highly refined jewels, that are so pure that it outshines many of the music one already knows.
Exactly from Cecil Mc Bee the album "Music from The Source", "Agnez" and "First Song of the Day". From Pharoah Sanders "Harvest Time".
@Aeolyus: Meh, but why should your comment please or displease jazz listeners like me? Your fair opinion doesn't hurt my feelings nor these artists' demonstrable, musically achieved skill sets.
All music has extremes and moderations. I try to listen to it all, when and if I can. I think everyone should have such a healthy musical diet, too. The musically tasteless and the musically spicy and musically vapid and musically intellectual. It's all good, and distinct.
It's not squeaking.. it's altissimo...
Mehldau's solo starts at 7:29
Ahahahahahahah, thanks
🌈💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹🙏👌❤️❤️❤️🌈
Natural selection in improvisation…the strongest melody survives
What's that tune at the end? I know a blues, but what is it??!!
Still waiting for the answer!!!! Anyone????
Was it not Blues on Sunday?
Ool Ya Koo by Dizzy Gillespie.
McBride RULES !!
😃💙🌱🌼
Inventive.
badabada ooooooool ya! badabada ool ya koo
I am a tenor sax player. Still, I have to admit that McBride's solo seems to me the best of all - very well balanced and well structured, since he ends each chorus with the same four notes as the theme does. So the listener can follow easily, does not feel lost, always knows where he is - spectacular!
Does anyone know what's that blues at the end?
Giuseppe Santoro it’s called Ool ya Koo. Dizzy Gillespie’s tune
@@dougmayes6592 Thanks a lot! ☺
7:53 amazing
