Of all horn players after 1980 Branford is my favorite. Of all pianists after 1980 Kenny is my favorite. Man it's so good to hear them live. I miss Kenny so bad.
Unmoved12345 ..yes.Kenny.I saw him a couple of times with Sting.. ..and I got to see Kenny with Branford in Boulder back in 1997..I had no idea how lucky I really was to do that. God rest his soul.
Branford Marsalis full concert 87, Newport, grandisimo. Y impresionante concierto de este músico del jazz, uno delos más grandes de nuestro tiempo, músico lleno de talento, y un virtuoso del saxo tenor y soprano, sonido limpio con mucha fuerza y belocidad en la DIGITACION genial,,
fmlAllthetime Yes Branford really showed that greatest is within him, on this performance! I remember him giving an interview about his frustration; after attending his first Sonny Rollins performance. How he almost ceased performing. I am so glad he did not. His growth, even from this ear, is obvious. It just amazes me his sensitivity. HIs monstrous chops have been present for as long as I can remember. I truly miss Kirkland. Talk about chops, and endless ability to manipulate tonal presence. Always good to encounter another musician!
EuphoricImpact I play rap & metal drums. And I'm decent at the guitar. What genre do you play? And instrument? I have a friend who plays the blues, and another who's really into noise rock and the hippy movement.
fmlAllthetime Yes I what you would call a low brass specialist. My focus has primarily is slide trombone and euphonium. I am also a decent Taiko drummer. I have been performing professionally since I was eleven. I do not tour any longer. It is one of many fields of endeavor I involve myself within. Admittedly instrumental performance is my passion. Currently I am working on a notturno for piano, cello and trombone. Though it may morph into and EV replacement. I will see about that. I love the Blues! It frustrates me (as a performer) because I can never get that lap steel guitar sweetness; on the bone. Also I have to slow my mind down, and really focus of melody shaping. I also like performing Prog Rock....think King Crimson, and Steve Hillage.
EuphoricImpact I wish I could just meet you in person, it seems that we would get along quite well. That's awesome that you played live for so long, sincerely. I enjoy big band, jazz and many other genres besides what I play. It's always nice to hear the same from someone else. I'm finally glad to have met a few like-minded individuals on the internet. It's nice to know some people still think out there.
I don't know how how many times I watched this (and listened to the CD). Incredible the high standard of these guys at such young age (at the time of the concert). Flicts!
14 unalive ignorant, jealous individuals gave this display of the GREATNESS of African American modern music a thumb down. Why? Because there are no musicians on earth or no music force in the universe greater than this music created by those whose forefathers suffered more than any human beings in the annals of history and PUT IT TO MUSIC. It's not even a debate. African American modern music otherwise known as "jazz" is King.
This is not a racist comment but just an observation which is really very sad. Some years ago on British radio a live broadcast from a Jazz Club , the the featured artist , for the life of me cannot remember who, said how refreshing it was to see so many brothers in the audience which doesn't happen back in the states. Well looking at those sitting and listening there is more African Americans on the stage. Is that all they do now listen to that tripe Rap.
As if I have to explain that to you 1) "all THEY do now" - That literally infers racial essentialism 2) "tripe Rap" - You get both considerate and ill considered music in all genres, surely as a Jazz fan you can recognise that? Just because something isn't to your taste, you can't assume to be the arbiter of musical value for wider society. Furthermore, it turns out Jazz and Rap compliment each other pretty well seeing as they can both be traced back to similar African American origins and contemporary artists are exploring this fusion more frequently.
Typical, have no constructive argument so use your race card. The truth is and has been for a very long time that African Americans were not very good at supporting their own art form. You may have heard of but I doubt it , trumpeter Red Rodney . Ex Parker sideman and white, complained that Black musicians no longer would employ whitemen, I'm talking about the sixties, not because of lack of skill but when playing in Black clubs the customers weren't happy. A white pianist was sacked by Coltrane for the same reason. Since the end of the 1950's its been white audiences that has kept Jazz afloat. A real Jazz fan would know that, and would never advocate crap, sorry rap.
In what way have I 'no constructive argument'? It was succinct, concise and accurate. And how is what I said 'typical'? It's typical that somebody would point it out when they see it to be true. The only thing I see as typical is you drawing attention to the race card when you couldn't respond to my post. You feel uncomfortable with 'the race card' being levelled at you because you know that what you wrote amounts to essentialism, and you did it again with 'African Americans were not very good at supporting their own art form.' - Perhaps pick your words more carefully next time. You can imply I'm not a real jazz fan but the truth of the matter is we're both commenting on the same Marsalis video you fucking tool- we both like (some of) the same music. I went to a jazz festival last weekend and yes, the overwhelming majority of the audience were white- I wasn't arguing that point. I was saying that the two genres of Jazz and Rap have closer links than you believe. As a music fan in general I can see the value of musical innovation and fusion, it's what keeps things fresh and exciting. Marsalis plays a pretty straight ahead set here, but when you watch Brecker with Mike Stern on the same stage it's not exactly 'purist' but still excellent. Maybe you should spend less time with your head in the Daily Mail and fire up some Robert Glasper, Terrace Martin or Christian Scott. All killer heavyweight players with Jazz education that are redfining what jazz is. Lastly, I explicitly said you can have both considerate and ill-conceived works within the same music genres. You can't write all Rap off as 'crap'- the same way you can't say all Jazz is good. Again, that's essentialism. How's that for a constructive argument???!

+scottbos68 Agreed...
That was my thought exactly, even before I read your comment. He was amazing.
what happened after 1980..an earthquake..wtf
i remember walking in on Branford and Wynton playing Oleo at Berklee in early 80’s. maybe in the next life i’ll be able to play near their level
What a beautiful set, and it's fantastic having new material from the late, great Kenny Kirkland, who's sorely missed ... far from forgotten.

Guitfiddlejase ...or as Branford would say..I got to HEAR Kenny with Branford back in 1997!
Indeed! LOL!
Branford always has said that!
Best.
Wonderful Giant steps! Tribute to the man Coltrane!👍
Yea, I really miss Kenny too! What a great player!
21:49 Giant Steps
always have to come back and listen to KK's solo on yes and no twice
I was 15 at the time of this recording. Kenny was my favorite from this era. I was heartbroken to learn of his death.

This is what I'm talking about! One of the baddest!

One of my favorite saxophonists. I hope that it will create many more beautiful music. :)

Kenny Kirklandが怪物くんみたい。
so cool!
Killing
rocking the steve coleman look
wearing sunglasses, and something on the head, ok...
En el 2022 me recuerda a coltrane
Is this available on HD? I'd buy one
42:08 the twilight zone quote 😂
Lewis is far out from his usual, more subtle, way. Here he is bashing all around... at least this is what one hears from the Yes and No song...
He play like crap, makes the whole band sound bad...
i dont know what your listening to. lol
Oleo is a jab
Why/How? My jazz politics isn't the greatest.
26:38 the lick!
