Man his transition from each phrases is silky smooth. A little old school sound, but Josh can be progressive in his technique or he can be melodic. He has complete command of his saxophone skills. He could play like Brecker or he can play like the prez.
These two remind me why I'm so grateful that despite the accusations of elitism and intellectual snobbery I remain so head over heels in love with improvised music. Drowning in the deep and surprising synergies and tangential explorations of this rendering of what is, fundamentally, a very simple harmonic form, sets up waves of bliss that oscillate between my mind and heart like orgasmic contractions. It just doesn't get better.
mug3n People like this dude are the reason for the reputation of jazz being "intellectual snobbery". He's just writing eloquent nonsense and obviously doesn't understand what this music is about.
L'artista è colui che nelle indecisioni interpretative riguardanti le improvvisazioni riesce a trasformare in quel preciso momento la musica in modo sublime, sia melodicamente sia armonicamente. Brad Mehldau è un grande artista e coglie gli spunti di indecisione trasformandoli in patterns meravigliosi. Joshua Redman è uno dei miei sassofonisti preferiti ed uno dei migliori viventi.
You are amazing and the band as well.I am learning how to play alto saxophone and if I was in love with saxophone ,. it double it now, God bless you all. Kind Regards
Saw Brad Meldau and Bad Plus play at my local college back in 2015. Probably the best live jazz I've ever seen. Too bad I don't live in New York. California is just not a jazz town.
This is when music becomes metaphysical and, as the instruments twist and intertwine, gradually appears to elevate itself into the realm of the origins of the universe. Stunning.
Imagine you are Brad Mehldau for a second. At some point you come up with a brilliant idea. Or I should say at ANY point!!! Actually what happens at 5:08 seems to me impossible to think.
I like Josh's playing here, very much!! I like his work playing when delving into extreme trane stuff but not as much as this!! great! First time hearing Brad, fuckin gob=smacked!!

Redman's face during Mehldau's solo is possibly the most honest thing I've ever witnessed.
This is the absolute highest level of communication within music.
The pianist has total hand independence.
Brad's solo is fucking insane
Yes. I love his power of both hands. His internal clock is insane
Saw him live at vanguard a few weeks ago, he’s a ridiculous human being
I've listened to this for like 100 times and every time I discover another new piece of brilliancy... Incredible.

Excellant composition. Joshua Redman truly brings necessary freshness to jazz of modern times. Best Duet ever.
Deux génies sur la même planète..bravo pour un Oleo hors du temps et soft..
it's like Vin Diesel and Charlie Parker having a kid
BRUH I'm dying laughing over here
ahahahahah
He doesn't look remotely like Vin Disel dipshit.
how can you possibly get offended by this? :D
Max Hobohm How could you possibly laugh over such a stupid fucking joke?
4:16, Joshua Redman : "what the heck is Brad doing ? I don't have a f-------- clue !"
that face would make an awesome meme
gordo64ful lol!
MAKE IT SO gordo!
Listen to Jarrett's "pardon my rags" its a clue
This is so great - both such command of their instruments - free to play whatever they want.

Quite the eloquent explanation my friend

Wonderfully penned!

No, not well said at all. This comment is not in the spirit of jazz.

brilliant stuff! hahaha, Josh's face at 4:16 .... :-) :-)
"it's not fair, he can play all those notes at once ... !"
Two masters at work....great!
Old friends always make the best music.
You are amazing and the band as well.I am learning how to play alto saxophone and if I was in love with saxophone ,. it double it now, God bless you all. Kind Regards
Hoy Joshua estubo en la Trastienda, Montevideo /Uruguay junto a Philip Morris y Nazir Ebo. Sucumbimos frente a tanta belleza de música.
Jaw on floor. Unreal how good they both are. No words.
This is out of this world. Power of dedication and practice
Yea..... its the world of sax
And don't forget power of friendship. Which is something musicians often forgot while focusing on chords and chops.
jungle fever @ 3:33 and flows throughout the next min or two. hilarious
whenever I think Brad goes so far into the stratosphere, he goes even further, each time. that's why people like this will never die

God… they go so far out and yet there’s always a sense of the melody going on. Both just masters of their instruments
Brilliant duo.
Rhythm is King !!
Rhythm a ning ?
Incroyable !
Weird? Brad Mehldau l.h. very impressive. Also he has kind of a stiff sense of time but he is really and original,got his own thing. Very impressive.
Best piano-sax duo that I can imagine... impressive creativity maintaining a perfect timing
This is what jazz is all about.
Three cheers for Josh Redman and Brad Mehldau!

Amazing! Thanks for this post.........
I swear the meme potential in this video is off the charts with the edits.
I can't get enough of this... Any work/artist with a similar feel? that is genious, unbelievable, amazing, complex, melodious yet new stuff etc?
Bill Evans is basically his equivalent for his time.
וואו מדהים!!!
How more creative and musical can you get!!!
amazing!!
he's so tight that he starts doing like a psychic thing to the piano so it plays alone by itself hahaha
Fuckin genius
Это шедевр!!!
indeed
2:44 Brad seems to make an accidental acciacatura but repeats it. Yesss! :D
Acceptable performance!
brilliant genius playing by these two! important to note that josh is keeping time on 1st & 3rd beats when tapping his foot...
maravilloso!
A big gift to Sonny and all of us 😊
This is the batman and joker relationship... beautiful

8:30 the lick
I think I'm in trance now. Amazing!
That lick at 2:38 is driving me crazy! It honestly feels like an extraterrestrial message
Try triads on tritones intervals ;)
Thank you, @@ogdTo. I had never stopped to analyze it, but it definitely is that!
magnifique
Wow! Bard Mehldau!!

My jaw hit the floor.
