I like the part when he plays saxophone
This is one of those lightning in a bottle moments that will forever transcend history and time. Such a masterful display of musicianship here in this one video.

Joshua is one of the best players of our times. This was recorded in 1994! I saw him last year with his Elastic Band. They performed at the Blue Note. My Trumpet player and I were speechless. JR keeps creatively pushing the limits with his music and jazz.
It's a Sonny Rollins head (with an unforgettable one-note melody) - I forget the name. It's on Dizzy Atmosphere Changes, which predates the Eternal Triangle by 10 years and is a whole step lower.
amazing!
joshua is the best living saxofone palyer!
Folks, the song is actually called "Straight Ahead." It's a Kenny Dorham composition based on the rhythm changes, with a harmonic substitution or two. Check it out on the Dorham Blue Note CD _Una Mas_.
He does have that wonderful tone and that great technique..The ideas are the most amazing.Can anyone imagine the ideas flowing at that speed.Loved it.
Freaking right! I was lucky to see him in Seattle on his last visit. He is such an intense live performer. I couldn't keep a smile off of my face for a full two hours. He is really an incredible player.
I really love how this was recorded a year before I was born, yet it feels so new. If it was pop, people would be commenting on how old it was and how they used to like this song.
Instead we comment on how good the players are and the techniques they're using etc. Jazz is a way of life!
Thanks uploader. PEACE!
Yes!!!!
such a MASTER at the tenor!
this set should be recorded in the log of significant events that took place in the 20th century. like a footnote in the next gem's history books. and oh yeah, in '94 blade, mcbride and redman perfectly resonated with the frequency of the universe for several minutes with the utmost groove. and no one noticed, but its on the test
I am sooooo GRATIFIED! That MASTERS - like Joshua and WYNTON - to name a few - REALIZE the INTRINSIC value - to the crux of the art form!
Of course; this is a brand new century and the art form, we collectively refer to as jazz, is constantly ' morphing' - necessarily.
But the artistry of the past, that some 'listeners', deem "..., old 'tyme'", is YET TO BE EQUALLED!!!
He is the man! His saxophone chops are amazing!
Questo brano non solo è particolarmente bello in quanto ricco di varianti, opera di una mente dove la fantasia la fa da padrona, ma perché è stato suonato in maniera sublime da un musicista che sa molto bene come fare primeggiare il suo strumento musicale, ossia il sassofono, mettendoci tutto se stesso, fino all' ultimo fiato, ovvero con il cuore, la mente e l' energia tutta. L' atmosfera, grazie a questo bravissimo sassofonista, è molto allegra e ricca di energia positiva, capace di risvegliare dalla sua apatia anche la persona più calma e assonnata. Bravissimi anche gli altri musicisti, anche se, quando entra in scena il contrabbasso, purtroppo l' atmosfera cambia e da calda e vibrante diventa in un istante quella tipica fredda e ghiacciata dell' interno di un igloo e l' ascoltatore apatico, se non si copre velocemente, corre grossi rischi. Sono le quindici e 40,
Fantastyczna muzyka we wspaniałym wykonaniu.

Love his technique, artistry AND sound.
total control of his horn, awesome, awesome, awesome.
Brian Blade and christian mcbride are one of the best backups such a great soloist can ask for
St. Thomas. There's another killer version of this tune on Joshua Redman Quartet; Spirit of the Moment, Live at the Village Vanguard.
👑 👑 thank you for creating this masterpiece!
He has it all control, tone, creativity, IMHO he is the best living tenor man alive today..
This is an awesome quartet. Love the solos!!
I love how Josh quotes St. Thomas so much and never makes it old like at 1:59
Genius.
Holy shit! That bass solo is turning crazier every second!
Whoa shit. Joshua Redman. What a sound!!!
Amen my man.. one of the more well put comments I have yet to read on here... thank you!
Even without those amazing chops he rules with the huge sound!!!
Jazz the most expressive music in the industry ! Every one playing their instrument can give their own expression.Love it or leave it.
one of the best today!
I love his sound on this mouthpiece more.
I would kill to get 2 minutes with those guys. What an amazing quartet. Un-be-fuckin-lievable.
there is another video with the rest of the song, it has christian mcbride's solo and then brian blade's. its incredible. he is one of the only drummers ive heard who can play melodically on the drums. its aweosme.
Amazing from start to finish!
Jaa!!! Det här är grymt!!!! Bra solo med Joshua Redman
I think that this is an encore is the most impressive thing. The man must have lungs made from pure steel, and lips made of rubber. I could go on with the examples, but it would be over labouring the point xD.
Kudos Joshua, one of the best. Fantastic quartet in general tbh.
love this doxy quote/rhythm changes-massacre! they all groove like their life is depending on it!
Man Joshua Redman found a really good link.
Im surprised he doesnt play on it all the time. His tone is super rich here.
That was out of this Earth!!!
Eu amo em ouvir essa música eu amor o começo dela
unbeliveable!
redman is the man
Amazing !!!
la grande classe !!!
J'aime
Joshua Redman is owning the sax right now!!
Thank you Joshua, thank you Sonny...
He is one of the only players I've experienced who is so well rounded. His ears are HUGE! He plays with such emotion and technically he's a monster. With the passing of Michael Brecker, this world needs players like JR. Although MB was one of the greats of our times. JR is stepping it up big time. If you have seen him live, do it. He will blow your mind.
Going too see them tomorrow, hyped as hell! :D
Sabe tudo esse cara !!!
Wonderful sax playing, very enjoyable. The melody is not clearly heard until about 1:40. I heard Sonny Rollins live in concert performing this song, St. Thomas, about 12 years ago - and I can hear a lot of similarities in certain phrasing.
This was recorded the year I was born. Christ, I wish I was alive then.
Me too... same year same thoughts...
Although yesterday I saw the group in the flesh for the first time, in the initial setting with Brad Mehldau, and what did they play as an encore? This piece! It was aaamaazing and oh! So joyful!
Calm down everybody, as a musician myself, I've come to the realization that criticizers DON'T do!! Or, in lay mans terms, haters have never, can never, or will NEVER play!
Not too many know this but Johnny King is also an attorney who graduated from Harvard Law School and professionnal fisherman. Incredible guy!
Otima qualidade musical, articulação,e conhecimento andando junto com o aprendiz!
Amazing...
I loved Coltrane and Brecker now i listen to Joshua.
jonny king is SO killin'. it's a shame more ppl don't know about him. crazy that he's also an ivy league trained lawyer
I don't know about you guys, but I think these are "Eternal Triangle" rhythm changes. Listen to how the bridge descends in half steps. In particular, check out 8:50.
Thank you my brotha!!
Joshua Redman has some of the most well-developed solos of any jazzers I've ever heard.
Well refined gimmicks at high speed. Musicality? Not feelin it.
Here are 3 examples of high speed players with NONE of Josua's perfunctory squeaks, meaningless octave leaps or other non-musical bullshit:
> Sonny Rollins ruclips.net/video/dUou9UlZnz0/видео.html
> Lockjaw Davis with Basie ruclips.net/video/mnEVppghro4/видео.html
Want more Avant Garde???
> Sonny + Don Cherry ruclips.net/video/KnrmxAHVOk0/видео.html
dieu que c beau!!!!!!!
joshua redman, ONE OF MY FAVORITE SAXOPHONISTS!!!!
exactly. If your here, enjoy the music. If you happen to dislike it then move on to something that your tastes appreciate better.
it's all about perspective, there is no way to say who is worse or better.
if Justin Bieber gives you the feeling this gives me then so be it.
that sound is killin
Its the same chord changes as the song "Dizzy Atmosphere" It's a rhythm changes in Ab concert with an alternate bridge The Changes on the bridge are | A-7 | D7 | Ab-7 | Db7 | G-7 C7 | F#-7 B7 | F-7 Bb7 | E-7 A7 |
Eu gosto muito dessa música mais eu gostaria de ver ela em outro gravação agora de 2024
Redman queeeeeeee maestro !!!!!!
St Thomas!!! Awesome song ^^
The quote is St.Thomas and it was written by Sonny Rollins.
Blade and Redman seems like the modern day Coltrane and Max Roach. With their interest in musicality and exploration. And simply the excitement of it all.
I agree. I saw him last night in minneapolis with his trio. They sounded amazing. Very different from this kind of playing and this video.
jonny king is so killin' and not many ppl know about him.
what a nice piano solo!
Jonny King's solo is super underrated. Great development, strong phrasing... it's just overshadowed by Redman. And his comping throughout, especially during McBride's solo, is laying in the pocket really hard. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
0:44 I wonder if he heard that rhythm in his head from "What's Happening" by Eddie Lockjaw Davis (in that song, the rhythm starts at 0:20)
great tone.
Wow!
Se ele fosse considerado hoje o melhor da atualidade ainda teria que aprender algo para chegar a perfeiçao oque nunca ele iria deixar de buscar,o conhecimento!(sendo assim,um eterno aprendiz!).
Kind of Ab rhythm changes!!damn!!SUPER!
that piano solo is awesome
that was fun to hear.
He's actually quoting a couple of tunes - "Straight Ahead" - by KD (hence the title) & St. Thomas..
You hit it right on the head. Posts about "the best" are ridiculous! The cats at this level are ALL great. It's funny because I was out having beers and a meal last week with Ed Calle and we were discussing this VERY thing. When you are comparing Henderson, Garzone, Margitza, Wayne, Bird, Dexter, Mintzer, Sonny, Lovano, Kenny G (don't get excited...Garrett), etc. you can discuss stylistic and improvisational differences but that's it. The BEST? Throw that word away and just enjoy the groove!!!
good or bad transformation??
His technique Is nearly flawless, and his signature tonal quality is all Joshua's
Great !
wow!!!
@Kochasiech I agree, one of the best build ups on a double bass solo.
the best!
Joshua is the man
Time killin´it!!!!
Joyful jazz playing is outdated since the end of the 50s ! Cannonball, Dex and Wes (Montgomery) resisted, but aren't around anymore.
Thanks to Joshua Redman for reviving one of the lost facets of jazz playing.
Jackindabox is right. The changes are chromatically falling from a tritone away(this case its D7 to Ab,) which is also done in Eternal Triangle and Dizzy Atmosphere. I got rhythm uses a III7 VI7 ii7 V7 for a bridge. I'm not sure what playing the i got rhythm bridge would sound on this.
Definitely not substitutions. Check out "Dizzy Atmosphere", the melody on the bridge outlines the changes very clearly. And definitely check out the original version of "Straight Ahead", it's from a great Kenny Dorham record called "Una Mas". It's with K.D., Herbie Hancock, Butch Warren, a 17 year old Tony Williams, and Joe Henderson, and it's Joe's first record date.
ohhh myyyyy gooooddddd
He's got chopssssss!
It's nothing new. The played very well. And that is still a fun style to play over whether it is new or not. It is fuel for the soloist. The thing about having to be new is that most of the new stuff is either too free or it's too confined -neither of which is...fun. Give me something fun, I say! This was pretty fun, if you ask me!
I completely agree...
yeah, not sure how to do this either... i was already wondering if i got it right :)
I very much like the NY Otto Link. I've used one on my tenor for the last few years, and I believe it to be reasonably priced.
The trick is to try it for yourself - and try MANY for yourself. Link's are notorious for having many bad mouthpieces, with a few great ones. The FL Link that Redman is using is certainly one of those greats.
No. posting material from commercial DVD's is against my policy. All this stuff comes out of my VHS video collection i recorded the past ten years. The most material i recorded from sveral european broadcastings systems.
@gazzamuso what would you call that? I can understand why it would be difficult but if one were going to try and achieve that what would they go about doing?
redman is a beast
