Just hearing this for the first time and I am totally hypnotized. This has to be among the best live music ever played and one of the best bands ever. I am totally blown away. I can't believe a band can play this well together. Absolutely fabulous. Some of the best music ever created.
Brad really is something else, his chorus on the next step is amazing. Each single note has the weight of a bulldozer, it seems like he has think of this chorus for centuries before playing it.
Brad and Kurt are generational musicians and players. Every time I listen it's like I've never heard it before. That's what truly great musicians can do -- the music stays fresh no matter how many times you listen to it. Ken MacLean
i must've watched this whole video at least 30 times. such a mind-blowing performance!! man this band is such a powerhouse, the album is amazing as well
'cats' indeed. They're surely not 'guys' 'dudes' 'folks' or 'chaps'. The perfect word with a nostalgia redolent of beatnicks in berets and soul-patches.
Hypnotizing, I do remember watching that band, and thinking "who the hell is this guy who has Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier and Ali Jackson as his sidemen". The concert was bonkers!!!
At 22:26 the Ali Jackson's sense of rhythm is amazing and while Melhdau is solo ing brillante with some pedal effects, the Grenadier walking bass support is great.
Is the opening sequence by Brad Mehldhau being played in a particular mode? If so could anyone kindly say what it is. It made me think of Mussorgsky's piano work 'Pictures at an Exhibition'. Jazz really has achieved the status and quality of classical music in every way. It is amazing how they can capture the feel of Pat Metheny's 'Quartet' album on stage and Brad Meldhau is really something else. Reassembling Utopia live as we watch.
I've been listening to (or trying to listen to) Rosenwinkel for years, I still don't get it. Many seem to think he's a genius musician. Playing scales and arpeggios are more training/ learning tools than actual music.
Regarding the unique phraseology of Kurts improvisation, IMHO, he is one of the few guitarists that does not play like a guitarist; he plays like a pianist or saxophonist.
Ud. Lo ha dicho, el jazz es música cerebral, q exige no sólo sensibilidad sino imaginar el camino q hacen los ejecutantes, y cuándo el oyente lo logra, el disfrute es inconmensurable.
The enormous cow painting behind the musicians is the only thing I find distasteful about this video. How that piece of "art" enhances a music venue is lost on me. Fortunately, these musicians have the talent to overcome this visual handicap.
am i the only one who finds this corny? i love jazz from louis armstrong to evan parker but this is not for me. definitely a lot of technical prowess but atmospherically i don't dig it. i feel like this generation of players is more about being technical than actual good music. coltrane played a lot of technical stuff but the artistic content always took center stage. jazz is in a lot of ways a technical language but you could be a very simple player with great ideas and surpass a bland technique guy. monk played a lot of extemely intricate stuff but his technique was very unorthodox. from a purely technical standpoint more about character than efficiency.
I think you may be struggling to access this kind of contemporary jazz because its meaning comes entirely from the form of the music itself and because it's unfamiliar- it's a new jazz language in a way. If you can get Trane or Monk like you mentioned, I think that with repeated listening you'll come to appreciate this much more deeply, don't give up on it yet.
no disrespect, but my initial fascination with coltrane and monk mostly had to do with liking the sound, vibe, and style of the music. i loved the music and wanted to learn more about it. even schoenberg or stockhausen i enjoy because i like the way it sounds first and then the logic behind it. i really do not enjoy the sound and style of these players. to me it feels very bland and institutional. there is obviously musicianship going on here but stylistically i do not enjoy it. i have to have that initial connection with the music to want to really get involved with it. i have tried to listen to kurt on more than a few occasions but i don't relate to him. i don't force myself to like anything. i kind of get why some people like this, i just don't. nothing wrong with enjoying this type of music and learning from it if you do.
Fair enough, I guess I had that kind of experience with Rosenwinkel and Mehldau, I just dug their vibe from the start and so it wasn't a task listening to their music. Good on you for giving their music a go though.

I like the cow watching them, it completes the experience.
This cow is having a completely normal reaction to the music played on stage.
Yeah! It is saying, "Holy cow!"
i've watched this twice now... okay, watched is pushing it - listened to it twice - where is this mythical cow you're all going on about...
i must've watched this whole video at least 30 times. such a mind-blowing performance!! man this band is such a powerhouse, the album is amazing as well
I’m struck how these cats, each with their notably distinct sound, form such a beautiful one together.
'cats' indeed. They're surely not 'guys' 'dudes' 'folks' or 'chaps'.

This quintet is so incredible. They're all amazing musicians and to see them all together is just amazing. Would kill to see this live again.
Vin diesel is such an admirable actor, entertainer, entrepreneur and saxophonist..
Sax and furious 🔥
Good to see his dad on the drums.
motherfucker i was about to make that joke
Brad is my hero
Hypnotizing, I do remember watching that band, and thinking "who the hell is this guy who has Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier and Ali Jackson as his sidemen". The concert was bonkers!!!
That piano intro was rad.
more like rad mehldau amirite
You 'B' right (B-rad)!
I agree... It was great,... However, there was something very familiar about it,... Lyle Mays - First Album,... Slink.
@@NC17z YES i was thinking Lyle Mays too. solo improvisations for expanded piano
Nice! I always love to hear Brad and Joshua...
8:12 love Joshua's nodding on Kurt's great phrasing
Alors là grande et belle musique !!!!! avec un son d'ensemble que j'aime ......
How have I not enjoyed this before now.?! Thank you for sharing.
Men Ali Jackson is having a blast, killing it!
At 22:26 the Ali Jackson's sense of rhythm is amazing and while Melhdau is solo ing brillante with some pedal effects, the Grenadier walking bass support is great.
absolutely
They all are out of normal out of this world. Spectacular.
me pasa con kurt que unos temas me cargan pero otros , como este me deslumbran, gracias por subirlo
Bloody brilliant!
The gravity must have been offset that night
+Alex Price 12:42 looks likes it
it's the magnetic fields in vienne, man
That comment has more than one meaning.
Oh, hi Alex
One of the best I heard in Jazz ... France .( share your country )
Larry Grenadier is awesome in his walking bass in his rhythm accompaniment.
Ah so happy you posted this, i've been looking for this specific live version of the next step for a while
That is some hard punching brain-power on display ... the aural equivalent of a TEDX presentation. Great show !!
I got dizzy after 6:42, thanks alot Kurt!...
Outside heavy snowfall ....i listen to the music = great !!!
Man I wish there was more recorded from this show, amazing lineup and vibe.
BRUTAL YEAH BIG SWING GREAT VIBRATIONS
that piano intro 😍
i miss this group!!
This gig is definitely a something
redman's lines opening up at 18:10 are just sublime. drummer has a big ol grin on his face
Brad's solo on Next Step 20:32
20:32 Art of the Trio
Recommend Joshua Redman's solo on RollingStones 'waiting on a friend' in concert.
La macchina da guerra dei fantasmi di Joushua è perfetta in tutto questo brano musicale
Who was the leader here? Joshua Redman? Kurt Rosenwinkel? Brad Mehldau? Larry Grenadier? They are all superstars so it is hard to tell.
Both songs were written by Rosenwinkel
Music was leader here.
I think is Kurt or well at list he is the composer of this two pieces
Jazz is a hell of a drug.
Basic and essential the awesome walking bass of Grenadier.
divine
Drummer is killing it
16:38 Iven Brad is like: WTF was that?! Shows you how great Kurt's genius is.
Masters at works.
Brilliant

Kurt esta ido amigo
wooooooooooow! magnificent!
Dude, the drum fill at 23:52 made me lose my shit.
0:29 here it starts
soulful transporting
Why only 2 songs from this concert?? :(((
incredible
ty.
Kurt is the "Boss"
I'm tryna see "The Cross" live
Brad and kurt! It’s not my birthday though
Sembrano andare in ecstasy ❤
brad mehldau or spock? amazing stuff
This is awesome! Does somebody know the band/artist of the intro before Mehldau begins?
I've been listening to (or trying to listen to) Rosenwinkel for years, I still don't get it. Many seem to think he's a genius musician. Playing scales and arpeggios are more training/ learning tools than actual music.
epico
anyone transcribed kurt's solo??
Anyone out there know the changes for the solo section of the next step?
Does anyone have the full concert? I can't find it on RUclips...
We’re basically listening to a supergroup.....
Indeed !
Regarding the unique phraseology of Kurts improvisation, IMHO, he is one of the few guitarists that does not play like a guitarist; he plays like a pianist or saxophonist.
Brutales !!!
a esto le llamo rener un buen cerebro para la musica
Ud. Lo ha dicho, el jazz es música cerebral, q exige no sólo sensibilidad sino imaginar el camino q hacen los ejecutantes, y cuándo el oyente lo logra, el disfrute es inconmensurable.
If you want to hear the band, skip to 4:15.
Look at Joshua at 6:48, it's hilarious :D
Larry g. is a monster out there
song in the very beginning?
Sick Drummer !!!
Vin Diesel can play a mad sax..
lmao
Ja Rule aint bad on drums either and Seth Rogen is a bad ass bassist
Who's on the remaining instruments?
@@jampoles Eric andre on guitar
second song at 13:30
Ladies and gentlemen, on piano Leonard Nimoy 14:55
Might as well be. He's a bloody alien.
Ummm, Kurt? You should seriously consider giving Ali a BIG raise! What a great band... but Mr.Jackson is an absolute driving force.
Who do you think is higher, Kurt or the Cow?
Next step is killing! Evil Faroes in an alternate reality... or something. Hot damn!
pufff que juntada
🌱😀🌾💚
Someone know the song at the begining ??
Use of light
@@filippotosti8057 yeah thanks man but I was talking about the "intro song"
ali jackson!!
use of light is difficult for sax. high f sharp on top and then a lot of long tones
ドラムがBrian BladeでテナーがMark Turnerってのが一番ぽい
int så dumt .. I like it .. även om ja är från norrbotten ..
Larry Grenadier on bass, don´t know the drummer :(
okay but what's going on at 19:12
¡Sí!
14:11
If this isn't Poetry.
Did he want to try dodecaohonic music on the intro ? ..kinda ugly. Then the theme..beautiful
frederic orsi Not ugly, your ears are not accustomed to it.
.
funny. he's on like 6 wynton albums. And he's been the drummer for the Wynton directed Lincoln center jazz orchestra for 10+ years.
@@motherbrain2000 Ali Jackson ... I saw him in Marciac ( France )
Derek Jeter on sax.
Redman sounds drunk
Hope he stays that way
Ketoconazole Bul if he sounds drunk and that's the fuckin second imma get wasted not cuz I am and now I'm magic
