Every time KG goes on a rampage like this I find myself in awe & laughing uncontrollably at the sheer insane joy and musical perfection of it! Thanks for posting!

Live at Sweet Basil. Earlier comment suggested 1999. I went to many sets in Sweet Basil, 1981-1990. Even just listening without the video, has a good live sound.
One finger snap and I was glued to this. The strenght and intensity of this group is fantastic! Kenny has found his niche many years ago. And I continue to enjoy that! Thanks for the upload!
incredible the best session i ever seen on youtub i believe in jazz all my life thiese 4×4 wouaouuu my god i cant help watching them nat reeves and marcus the RYTHMIKS
If you're not in the mood for some burning swing, skip the first tune. There's a lot of variety in this show. Great band! Piano: Nick Smith; Bass: Nat Reeves; Drums: Marcus Baylor. I'm guessing that any drummer who plays for Kenny is required to get a doctor's authorization first! Not for the weak of heart. I love when Kenny plays Coltrane. I also enjoyed the last composition of his (Delta Bottom Blues) that combined elements of Indonesian, Japanese, and American music. Nice, unique recipe.
Thank you Bryan Alfonso for adding the Credits of these fine Great Musicians I get very Disappointed that those who post these Videos never add to the credits of Musicians However Since you so Graciously supply this information, I feel your commentary is Spot on , Talk about having a Heart attack one must be ready I had the distinct Honor and Privilege to perform with Kenny at May Point NJ I We did 2 Songs and I was Worn Out LOL Being a Drummer much Older than Marcus . However This concert I know he did a couple of surprises in the order of Music played,
MisterMister5893 Sanborn is fine. Not Kenny Garrett or Michael Brecker but never pretends to be what he's not and great at what he does. Check out Another Hand: www.discogs.com/David-Sanborn-Another-Hand/release/2422015 He's like Stan Getz - no serious fireworks but delivers the goods. And you have to give him props for his late night show with Marcus Miller: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_Night_(American_TV_program) And the comparison is very unfair to a genuine artist like Mr Sanborn (that other fella can get hit by a train and I wouldn't care... poor train).
Perhaps the most sensitive musican of the 21st Century to date. Kenny seems to pick up the state of the nation, the state of people of this by expressing the concern. i just hope that his message gets across. Suggestion to Kenny Garrett : The despair and fears of people of this nation are irrational: Kenny write another universal tune like 'Spanish- Go-Around' and play it over and over again or play 'Spanish-Go- Around." 'We need to have an anthem of hope .
I love at the moment particularly@Alto: Tia Fuller, Tim Green, Logan Richardson, Jaleel Shaw, & Myron Walden. There's others, but these are a few names that come to mind.
If you feel Kenny hasn't progressed since playing with Miles, no offense but you aren't really paying attention. The man has accomplished alot in his career AFTER miles. Just keep in mind that it is increasing harder as time goes on to do something 'NEW', Jazz has hit every country and yes there will be people who copy Kenny , much like, Trane, brecker, parker, sanborn even. But you gotta start somewhere. If someone starts with those guys, GOOD. better then this smooth jazz shit. ( sorry if i offended anyone)
I love this but the Delta Bali Blues seems like a Norge (Norway) Jazz Band (Jan Garbarek) or Oregon's Paul McCandless would do and compose. Not Balinese or Gamelan influence - I just don't hear it. I played in a Gamelan Ensemble.

You're right, of course, in the sense that what you like, is what you like. Let's call him 'different'? And just to add to that point, as I was listening to Kenny Garret tearing it up on one of his solo's, from this clip, and I asked both my kids individually - their ages 7 & 9 - what they thought about the music they were hearing. The younger of the two responded with 'that sounds like jazz'. The 9 year old thought for a bit, and then, with a grin, replied, 'sounds like farting'. 'No really, it doesn't sound good', she added. Out of the mouths of babes!
this is clearly awesome. from a technical standpoint great. his internalization of the jazz language and ability to solo is great. musically, great. i really can't knock the guy in any way. however, is he really playing anything new? anything completely outside the realm of what coltrane.eric dolphy, sonny rollins have played before? i am now a fan, just posing the question. is originality important? i have always considered the best guys to be the guys with the most unique contribution. armstrong, duke,bird, monk, trane, all had a very distinct approach. is he relegated to just being a great jazz musician and not one of the greats?
Certainly hard to compare a modern jazz artist to one several decades ago who shaped jazz to what it is now. Perhaps what makes Garrett most unique is that you can tell it is him from a single note. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find an up and coming alto saxophonist who is not Garrett inspired, such as Braxton Cook who also replied to you! Kenny is undoubtedly the greatest alto player since Cannonball!
Excellent point. The improvising vocabulary is in constant development. But still it is interesting to think what revolutionary idea must come next, we've had fusion of popular music, rock, funk etc. with bop and we've of course had the bop revolution but what is the next comfortable habit of music making that we must react against?
First time I heard Kenny Garrett was this video. My mind melted instantly.

+funkman0811 Wow. You played with Kenny! That's awesome. I play guitar and sing. I would love to have a gig like that to my credit.
Amazing music!
wow they are geniuses
Wow, this is really powerful.
Garret, un Monstruo...UFFF!!!🙃😵😵💫😭😭😭
Pursuance. I love that title. What a monster. These guys are playing jazz kiddies
3 people got a rude shock when they realised it wasn't Kenny G...
Mark Matthews it's the real kenny g
I'd like to think my tastes has matured since the days of Kenny G albums but what do you think of David Sanborn?
MisterMister5893

Geat souns all round..
The Great Kenny Garrett! What an inspiration. It's time for the new young guys coming up to say something new, rather than a clone of KG.
O cara é top
Fire !!!
SHIT HOT - I can stop after the first cut - !
Emotional !
🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏼
Ty so much Yhori :D
Believe in Jesus, you and your family will be saved.
Very cool.

Fuck! I just keep laughing. This is fucking brilliant!
this must be an old vid of a promo tour for the album 'simply said' released in 1999
Nat Reeves , brutal !!!
TWO THUMBS UP !!!!!
Kenny Garrett Quartet N.Y.
De que año es este concierto?
Can anyone please tell me which songs Kenny is playing?
Nice 1 :)
lindo!
📀📀📀📀
Anybody know when this was filmed
concertone!
Year??
qui sont les autres musiciens?
Year?
Intensity!
hen was this shot?
I love this but the Delta Bali Blues seems like a Norge (Norway) Jazz Band (Jan Garbarek) or Oregon's Paul McCandless would do and compose. Not Balinese or Gamelan influence - I just don't hear it. I played in a Gamelan Ensemble.
What song IS played at the beggining before kenny IS playing?
"Mystery" by Miles Davis.....on the Doo Bop album
Does anybody know which songs are which and their orders? Thanks
Antonio Vergara
1:09 One Finger Snap - Herbie Hancock
22:10 Charlie Brown Goes to South Africa - Kenny Garrett
34:31 Dear Lord - John Coltrane
41:40 Spanish Go Around - Kenny Garrett
49:08 Delta Bali Blues - Kenny Garrett
For me Kenny Garrett fully blossomed when he played with Miles Davis
P.S. I was shocked when I heard Kenny G!!!!! (plastic smooth jazz)
Just curious, who do you consider to be a Kenny Garrett clone?
Please someone tell me who that drummer is!!!!!
Nice one
S W I N G I N G !!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!
This was a general statement for all, including myself. Sometimes, people tend to listen and zero in on one or few great players.
22:10 Charlie Brown goes to South Africa! \ ( ^ _ ^ ) /
can anyone tell me the name of the tune at 49:30?
Delta Bali Blues from his album "Simply Said"
What's the name of the tune at around 34:50?
Dear Lord - By Coltrane
GOD DAMN!!! THEY SWINGING!
4:53
16:18 the lick
thanks to all for the info it's a bitch not knowing about things you love. I love this to the ground. peace.
Kenny swings at 240 plus bpm for breakfast.......
Like Kenny's tone on the alto - just feel he is not saying anything new or in advance of his time with Miles Davis circa 1987 to 1991.
show
Why does everyone say Kenny G is bad? He sounds pretty good to me.
You're right, of course, in the sense that what you like, is what you like. Let's call him 'different'? And just to add to that point, as I was listening to Kenny Garret tearing it up on one of his solo's, from this clip, and I asked both my kids individually - their ages 7 & 9 - what they thought about the music they were hearing.

Great, but for musician only
Marcus Bailey on drums?
+GREEK HUMMUS Marcus Baylor actually. ;)
Oh that's right. Thanks for the correction. Baylor in lieu of Bailey. ( ^ _ ^ )
Raul garret

pui pui for the alto sax yes

pui pui if you add Ornette they played everything already but
Lepe.
grausam dudldudldudl-
Good but still.... Trane all over...
+Mojo Photo two tranes is better than one. Plus, Kenny is more rhythmic. And melodic
Just like sonny stitt was able to improve on some of parkers weaknesses, garret improved on a lot of tranes. The evolution keeps flowing
Excellent point. The improvising vocabulary is in constant development. But still it is interesting to think what revolutionary idea must come next, we've had fusion of popular music, rock, funk etc. with bop and we've of course had the bop revolution but what is the next comfortable habit of music making that we must react against?
I agree with the sentiment but I don't think Sonny did anything better than Bird. Anything specific you were thinking about?
different not "better".
