I love that you guys always make a point to show how modern jazz still is despite public opinion. So much good music was made in the 90's but most people only talk about the 50's or 60's without giving proper due to the modern masters.
Exactly! When people say that “today’s music sucks” or “jazz is dead”, it makes absolute no sense to me, the only thing that sentence means is that they are always listening to the same stuff and not being open-minded about music appreciation and discovery…
I started listening to jazz in 92. For me, the decade was about CHick Corea, Joe Henderson, Scofield, Medeski Martin + Wood, some Mehldau, some Metheny. A great decade if people can remember it so fondly for different scenes and sounds
I find it bafflingly comical that there are quite a few commenters that missed the obvious fact that the whole idea of "best decade" was tongue in cheek. Kudos to you Pete, you have more than enough reason to be chuffed about having been part of this
Is my tribe really so humorless and pedantic? I see complaints that the Parker video was from the early 1950s and not the 1940s, to say nothing of all the defenses of various golden era decades, plus a harrumpher who insists that decades are way too arbitrary a timeframe for his exquisite opining on various jazz movements.
No way this is crazy to see Peter break one of my favorite RUclips videos down! The comping Peter plays after Johnny’s first phrase is so killing and he just glossed over it 😂
man, this brings back memories of jamming all damn night with the fellas when we were kids, coming up with the sickest phrases and talking about it after the gig over steak and eggs. the best times.
This video is awesome Peter! Thank you or posting it and breaking down some key components. Yes, you were so blessed to be a part of this group on that unforgettable day. Watching your face melt while listening to your analysis was an extra treat in itself. I'm sure I'll be watching this video over and over.
I loved this time period. I was in college and just getting exposed to this stuff. Had the privilege to see/hear Roy’s group a few times with this lineup. Roy’s first album Diamond in the Rough is great too!
The jazz futures was a cd I played over and over again. Roy, Nicholas, Josh, and Benny blew my mind. And Roy’s cd tenors of our time just blew me away.
Peter, this is a great example of why you are correct about the 90s being the greatest decade in jazz! You and these cats are using all of the resources available to keep essentially a one chord blues from getting even slightly boring! Multigenerational players, amazing swing! It's got it all! Rodney's at Michigan State and launched the career of young drummer named Michael Reed whom I'm proud to have taught in high school!
Found this in my home page, awesome video! The insight is insane, I wish we had more jazz players giving deep details to their live performances like this, especially from rhythym section players who get to feel it all!
That was great to hear a wonderful piece of music with all of commentaries with a look from inside! Please, keep it up! I would love to watch and hear more of that!
I came across this performance a couple months ago and have checked it out a couple times since. Everyone is killin it! Love Peter's solo. Thanks for the play by play, good stuff!
This is an unsual way to talk about jazz analyzing a performance, I like it. What a great performance. The 90"s was definitely a great decade for jazz. Roy Hagrove was one of the finest trumpet players ever and a wonderful composer.
The Young Lions were great, mainly because Jazz was going through a dry period with many cats playing Urban Contemporary or Disco. But it is crazy to think that the 90's we're better than 50's or 60's and we're just talking Blue Note. But do love these youngsters. I worked at The New Orleans Jazz Restaurant in Seattle and we had many of the Young Lions at our club. Thanks for the video.
I used to have this mindset that jazz was something of the past, and itll never be how it was when the greats were around. I'm glad to say that two incredible experiences have taught me that the opposite is true; Jazz has never been more alive and well than today. the first experience was visiting Tokyo. Seeing people come from all over the world to play in a tiny little jazz club in shinjuku really showed me that the spirit of jazz extends globally. People who cant even communicate with words are playing music with eachother and laughing as they play off of eachother. the second experience was watching the incredible musicians playing over at Emmet Cohen's place, it showed me that the quality of the music hasn't diminished but is instead reaching incredible heights i didnt know was possible. Who knows what the future holds.
Sheeiiitt, can y'all breakdown that Buckshot LeFonque?? Because of my mother's connection to Alvin Batiste, I grew up around Delfeayo and Branford and I LOVE that era of Branford's career.
I'd been a Jazz fan since I was a kid but I didn't get into Jazz hardcore till I was old enough to watch live Jazz in venues. First concert I went to was Roy Hargrove's group when they played the Bermuda Onion club in Toronto. It was a magical night, excellent music and an enthralled crowd. The 90's was the last decade where one could still see many of the giants of Jazz which I was fortunate to do.
Back when NJF was still about Jazz and in The Hague. I was too young for the first one, but haven't missed one since the second. Best concerts of my life. For me it was that time when Steps Ahead was still Steps.
This video was awesome and as a GenX whose the same age, and grew up listening to Roy, Christian, and other great jazz lions of the 90s, this is Priceless! ❤❤❤
This is amazing to watch and I have to admit that I teared up while watching this video even though you made me laugh sometimes with your commentary! When I saw that best decade question, I just knew you were going to end up saying it was the 50s (which was my choice) since you started the question with the 40s and then skipped over it to the 60s and beyond so I was surprised to hear the 90s...until I viewed that footage. I can see why you chose it. If I had a time machine, I'd still choose the 1950s but you presented a strong case. I had no idea the 90s were like that with jazz because I was in a different music solar system during that decade and missed out on what was going on with it. And besides being entertaining, your commentary is insightful, especially for musicians. Btw, I know it probably goes without saying but you're an amazing talent yourself. And you should win an award for what you are doing for jazz with Open Studio!
I love love love so much jazz from the 90s. On the other hand the 80s/90s were the time in which jazz started to become 'period' music (like classical music). Since its inception black american music was about pushing the art form forward aesthetically. It was about people being present in the moment, and assimilating their lived human experiences into improvised art. Bird, trane, miles didn't really to emulate players from 50+ years before their time on stage - they were trying to just sound like themselves. You hear a lot of players these days trying to sound like other people instead of themselves. I love 90s jazz but I'm conflicted because that's when it became more about preserving the style/idioms of the art form over the mentality/philosophy that led to the emergence of the music.
great video, love how you comment on this tune, and guess what: I was there in 1994 :) together with my dad! Unfortunately not at this concert... wish I were! not sure if the 90s is the best decade, but after your video im almost convinced :)
Nice! I think Josh wore that same vest in Philly when I saw him at the Mellon Jazz Fest which was dedicated to McBride who was around 20 at the time. All of NYC seemed to be on stage that day and Chris' dad, the great bassist Lee Smith, introduced me to my hero Ray Brown too.
I was 90s jazz student. It was, IMO, a significant era. I love the players you mentioned, but I was also an ECM geek. Frisell, Scofield, Marc Johnson, Metheny... I feel like the 90s opened up improvisation in a more universal way. Ex: Frisell Trio. Edit: Man, that's great jacket. Don't sweat it.
Great stuff Peter, MERCI !!! And I liked your "stank" face here and there, for a best purpose, the 90's, HELL YEAH !!! No stoopid internet, people really connecting with humanity, making calls or writing letters (I still send letter, I'm a real hero for that among my friends receiving my post card), and still a lot of money in the music industry in any genre. My favorite cats were aka "Doctone", the late GREAT Kenny Kirkland, anything with "Tain", da REAL Kenny G., "Steep" and "Skain", Terrence Blanchard, the Spike Lee's movies, you know what I mean... PS : the hang at North Sea Jazz Festival was one of the best in the world, every musicians in the same bloody hotel, jam sessions and shit, I mean come on, this is the way festivals should be, put the cats together, always !!!
In my personal opinion, the 1980s were the best ever jazz decade, thanks to Chet Baker and the superb musicians he played with, like Philip Catherine to name just one.
I agree with your general point that current jazz does not need to be totally different to be original or "true art". It's always great when an entirely new "thing or sound" happens in jazz, but those are rare and seem to be accomplished by only a handful of artists per generation. Many new things/sounds disappear a generation later. Anyhow, it'd be interesting for you to contrast this recording to a blues recording from the 40s, 50s, 60s, etc. What is unique? What is the same?
# MeToo! Jokes aside, Despite the fact that we now arguably live in the golden age of prodigious young instrumentalists, the 1990s has arguably some of the greatest modern Jazz records of all time, some of them by veterans too, here some of my picks, no order: 1995's 'Infinity' by the McCoy Tyner Trio featuring Michael Brecker, Brecker's own 1996 'Tales From the Hudson', Kenny Garrett's 1997 release 'Songbook', John Scofield and Pat Metherny' s 1994 collaboration 'I Can See Your House From Here', Gary Thomas criminally underrated 1993 masterpiece ' 'Till We Have Faces', Joe Henderson's exquisite 1993 Miles Davis Tribute record, 'So Near, So Far'...plus all there reasons you guys listed, the old masters were mostly still alive, the young lions were following suit and the younger kids on the block like Brad Mehldau, Joshua Redman and Brian Blade were already making an impression.
Great story, great video. My take is thus: the 1920's is the best period for overall timeless songs, harmony, and phrasing that still form the foundation of Jazz. Something like half of all standards are from 1920-1930. Gotta throw in 1930 so you can get I Get Rhythm and Body and Soul in there:) I mean, how do you beat a decade where a stride piano song, The Charleston, is the biggest hit in the country: and then Louis Armstrong changes everything, and a Duke becomes the king?
I was a teen in these times.....I loved this jazz era......I think the current era has potential.....all the recordings of talent on Bandcamp and labels like Whirlwind plus more clubs live casting give me much for the new young lions; such as Samara Joy, Sarah Hanahan, Matt Slocum, and Nicole Glover to name a few.
5:57 - Rodney (in video): Looks over and shakes his head. Peter (commenting): “Rodney looking at all those horn players lined up. He knows he’s going to be playing for a while.”😳 Has Rodney seen this video? I’ll send it over just in case, I think he’s enjoy your commentary of this excerpt.
In my opinion the greatest Jazz decade is the sixties because it was like jazz experimenting meets 60s culture. It really got kicked off in the late 50s so it's really from 1957-1969. I understand it wasn't the most popular time for jazz because of what rock music was doing in the 60s but it was the most creative and almost mistic time in Jazz history imo.
Amazing! Swinging" Bluesing! Grooving! Teamwork! thank you so much! I'm becoming kind of obsessed by the tune briefly quoted by Ron Blake at 15:57 I only know that I know it from many years ago, but can't recall more, only that is a kind of catchy vamp over chords similar to some of the bridge, I VIIb VIb VIIb. I've searched my old cd's, no luck. I thougth it could be a Chick' or a Herbie' one, but not sure at all, no clue. Blakey?... I have the melody mind worm everyday, anyone please? 🙏😅
UPDATE It took me a week of the mindworm laughing but finally i've found out/had a total recall! Mi first guessing was righ, it's SUNDANCE, by Chick Corea, 1969!!
I just don't like the glossy varnish on most the 90s jazz that I've heard (in terms of studio recordings). I also associate it with a certain style of doubling that, for whatever reason, my ears don't love...but there are no doubt some absolutely amazing musicians from the 90s and later.
This is awesome, Peter! Thank you for this.

The duality is important, but to just look at modern would be starting to build a skyscraper starting at the 30th floor.
I started listening to jazz in 92. For me, the decade was about CHick Corea, Joe Henderson, Scofield, Medeski Martin + Wood, some Mehldau, some Metheny. A great decade if people can remember it so fondly for different scenes and sounds

There's no old music. This Jazz is Awesome. I really love it.
Thanks so much. Very refreshing.
your passion for jazz is highly contagious! 🎶
man, this brings back memories of jamming all damn night with the fellas when we were kids, coming up with the sickest phrases and talking about it after the gig over steak and eggs. the best times.
I absolutely would love to see more videos in this format. Just watching some great performances and getting input. 👌
This video is awesome Peter! Thank you or posting it and breaking down some key components. Yes, you were so blessed to be a part of this group on that unforgettable day. Watching your face melt while listening to your analysis was an extra treat in itself. I'm sure I'll be watching this video over and over.
I loved this time period. I was in college and just getting exposed to this stuff. Had the privilege to see/hear Roy’s group a few times with this lineup. Roy’s first album Diamond in the Rough is great too!
I was born in the 90’s and fell in love with jazz in 94 when I first heard cyrus chestnut’s revelation album. The pocket is so deep in the 90’s
The jazz futures was a cd I played over and over again. Roy, Nicholas, Josh, and Benny blew my mind. And Roy’s cd tenors of our time just blew me away.
Domnt worry about the jacket Peter! It was the 90`s! Wonderful tune and so many of my heroes on stage is awesome!
🙏🏼 Juan!

Rodney's at Michigan State and launched the career of young drummer named Michael Reed whom I'm proud to have taught in high school!
1990s japanese Jazz fusion is one of my favourite periods so I guess we came to the same decade but different region
What a treat, and what a killing band!
And a reminder of how much Roy is missed.
Please do more of these!!!❤️💯❤️💯
This is an excellent video. I love how you point out all the juicy little nuggets in their playing.
Found this in my home page, awesome video! The insight is insane, I wish we had more jazz players giving deep details to their live performances like this, especially from rhythym section players who get to feel it all!
Excellent! I miss it too!. I also miss Jazz on the radio. Now i get it on Sirris /XM but there was more exposure in the 90s.
RIP Roy. So good.
This was one of my fav episodes! Thank you for sharing!
What a great video to start the day out right! Heading into the shed after this encouragement. Thanks Peter, for YOUR comraderie!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much for making this video ❤️
Sure miss Roy!
That was great to hear a wonderful piece of music with all of commentaries with a look from inside!
Please, keep it up! I would love to watch and hear more of that!
That was a ton of fun! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, love this kind of videos, throwback to those special people in those good times. Thanks for this one!
Love the music and your enthusiasm!
Thanks, Pete, that was great!

Great playing !!
I didn’t know how you could make a video that’s simultaneously so wrong (90s?!) and so much fun to watch. Thank you.
Saw Johnny play at Graham Chapel at Washington University, 1979. Talk about time! Thanks for sharing this!
I'd been a Jazz fan since I was a kid but I didn't get into Jazz hardcore till I was old enough to watch live Jazz in venues.

Peter, you broke the record for number of stank faces within an 18 minute stretch. Dayum!!!
Yes Sir!!!!! Thanks Peter! I’m two weeks late, but this made my morning! Whew! That had some STANK on it!!
Exceptional performance.
This video was awesome and as a GenX whose the same age, and grew up listening to Roy, Christian, and other great jazz lions of the 90s, this is Priceless! ❤❤❤

This is such a killing video. Really great to see one of the actual players react, years-later, to this amazing performance.
great video, love how you comment on this tune, and guess what: I was there in 1994 :) together with my dad! Unfortunately not at this concert... wish I were! not sure if the 90s is the best decade, but after your video im almost convinced :)
Love the message!

I miss 90's everything.
All I could say was huh, huh, mhm, mhmm, WOW... every three seconds. That was killing
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome.
i love the 90s jazz something like futur meet past so much real good music for real
When Johnny gets cookin, he channels Coltrane!
A dash of salt, a sprinkle of onion powder, and topped off with some rosemary 🧂👨🏻🍳
yes, Yes, YES!
Best content on yt

Edit: Man, that's great jacket. Don't sweat it.
The best decade of jazz is now.
It always was!
The CharlieParker video was from 1952 and Miles davis video was 1959.
The 1920s are just smokin'
Contemporary Jazz radio was huge in the 1990s. I wonder what happend?
Great stuff Peter, MERCI !!! And I liked your "stank" face here and there, for a best purpose, the 90's, HELL YEAH !!!
No stoopid internet, people really connecting with humanity, making calls or writing letters (I still send letter, I'm a real hero for that among my friends receiving my post card), and still a lot of money in the music industry in any genre.

That entire project is so underrated. Go purchase "With the Tenors of Our Time!" You will thank yourselves!!!!!
Love you guys' content! Wow, man! Did you play with him at the Glasgow Jazz Festival in Glasgow, Scotland?
In my personal opinion, the 1980s were the best ever jazz decade, thanks to Chet Baker and the superb musicians he played with, like Philip Catherine to name just one.

60's without a doubt
Great story, great video. My take is thus: the 1920's is the best period for overall timeless songs, harmony, and phrasing that still form the foundation of Jazz. Something like half of all standards are from 1920-1930.

strong case could be made for every decade, a testament to the legacy and continuing greatness of this music
I was a teen in these times.....I loved this jazz era......I think the current era has potential.....all the recordings of talent on Bandcamp and labels like Whirlwind plus more clubs live casting give me much for the new young lions; such as Samara Joy, Sarah Hanahan, Matt Slocum, and Nicole Glover to name a few.
I was at that gig.

Great example of how the stank face is actually a compliment in the musical word...
goddamn imagine seeing the Flecktones followed by Skatalites. it was a better time!!!
In my opinion the greatest Jazz decade is the sixties because it was like jazz experimenting meets 60s culture. It really got kicked off in the late 50s so it's really from 1957-1969. I understand it wasn't the most popular time for jazz because of what rock music was doing in the 60s but it was the most creative and almost mistic time in Jazz history imo.
Roy was at his peak when he formed his famous Crisol. You can't beat Horacio at the drums.
Amazing! Swinging" Bluesing! Grooving! Teamwork! thank you so much!
I'm becoming kind of obsessed by the tune briefly quoted by Ron Blake at 15:57 I only know that I know it from many years ago, but can't recall more, only that is a kind of catchy vamp over chords similar to some of the bridge, I VIIb VIb VIIb. I've searched my old cd's, no luck. I thougth it could be a Chick' or a Herbie' one, but not sure at all, no clue. Blakey?... I have the melody mind worm everyday, anyone please? 🙏😅
UPDATE It took me a week of the mindworm laughing but finally i've found out/had a total recall! Mi first guessing was righ, it's SUNDANCE, by Chick Corea, 1969!!
Check out St. Thomas with Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau!
Dude, "The Tao Of Mad Phat" by Steve Coleman is DEFO one of THE albums from the 90s to checkout.
absolutely, a classic
It just occurred to me that we're living in the 20's.
Isn't this a case of "I miss the good ol times"? It's a very common phenomenon where people just seem to see the past better than it actually was
Okay, thank you. I didn't know.
What is your name on piano ?
Haven't watched yet, but I feel its the 60s
1959
greatest year maybe, but decade?
I just don't like the glossy varnish on most the 90s jazz that I've heard (in terms of studio recordings). I also associate it with a certain style of doubling that, for whatever reason, my ears don't love...but there are no doubt some absolutely amazing musicians from the 90s and later.
A 10 year period is a better segment to choose from instead of decades which are more restricted
Not even a mention of the 30s or the 20s, SMH.
We in da 20s
"that's pretty high for the tenor saxophone isn't it"
RIP roy
👏👏👏👍
God damn Peter, you are a legend. I keep training, I keep shedding, but i sound terrible.
