Bob thiele had an ABC record label called BluesWay and on the LP it said "bluesways is where its at" He had the impulse label which has john coltrane on it. But really what was on my thoughts is I dig this music. thanks
All brooms do sweep well indeed - the new and the not-so new. However, unlike the new broom which does excellently, the not-so-new broom knows the corners structurally, methodically and progressively. On THIS occasion, from both tenor men, one can learn techniques from the former soloist, and Cooperative etiquette from the latter - to be a team player, not allowing one's ego to damage the spirit of collaborative endeavor. THIS time around, Donny McCaslin stupefies me, pleasurably, with his ideas, fluency and ... purpose, may I opine. He reminds me of a young, pugilistic upstart from Louisville. Can Donny always hang tough? Hope he can and will! What of Joshua, Chris, Donny and James Carter in brotherly fire?
I didn't give enough credit to Joshua the first time, but his solo was by FAR better structured and much more pleasing to listen to (and learn from) than the other soloists. He did use some "out" harmonics, but generally he is a more "inside" player than Donny suggested by this solo (although this is the only time I've heard Donny). Anyhow, I was only listening to this to hear Patrick Bartley play, and they didn't even feature him. He could have hung with the others EASILY, and he was only 18.
The context is C Jam blues. Are you really faulting Redman for using an 'older harmonic concept'? Also, since they both studied with George Garzone, and both played in New York & Boston, it's probably not very accurate to say Donny played stuff "Joshua can't even conceive of". I mean really? No one has heard this approach before until this concert? Anyway, after one tenor soloist takes that route, the next guy HAS to take a different approach or the whole thing gets lame!
I agree tenor dude went on too long, BUT...anyone that says he wasn't playing melodic needs to get their ears checked (or at least their MUSICAL EARS). Honestly, he was playing stuff that Joshua can't even conceive of, since he basically sticks an older harmonic concept (he certainly did on this one). Maybe that's all the critics of the first guy can hear...don't know...all I know is the fist guy ate Joshua's lunch harmonically..he just went 2X longer than he needed to, with 2X the notes needed.
Perhaps a slight exaggeration, I was not "faulting Redman", and I know full and well about soloing before and after someone else (no matter how great or bad the other players are), and Donny's solo was WAY too long (distastefully so..) I never suggested that Donny's "approach" was unlike anyone else's before. In the many times I've watched Joshua, listened to his recordings, and played with him though, I've never heard him melodically "bend" the harmonic structure the way Donny did on this solo.
He played way way too much. I was just thinking the opposite. Almost no melodic content and all flash. Just goes to show the opposing sides to jazz. One persons trash is another persons treasure.
Yeah so how's your career going? Because he's still shaping the genre and playing with the greatest alive (others like himself) and your doing what, posting crappy tunes you made on UA-cam and hating on others because you can't understand their music. Some musician you are.

Geez gets nothin better than a sweet trombone section as well as a killing bari sax player!
Donny McCaslin can be amazingly melodic. I'm used to listening to his solos in Dave Douglas Quintet and he is always amazing with ideas in those
This is so good. Can't stop listening to it.
Fabulous playing by Donny, Josh, and of course, the band!
beautiful bass player ... i love how he comps joshua
This tenor is the man!!!
Very impressive!!!
...also, I not sure why Patrick Bartley didn't get a shot at this...he could've kept up with both of them.
Donny is so good, his ears are phenomenal.
you guys are phenomenal! im a jazz drummer my self but damn dude u killed these 4 songs!

show de bola...
What got into William H Macy? He's killing it!
That bass player looks like he's 15, what a BOSS
@jlevinson6 Oh man, that's Donny McCaslin!!! No wonder. He's amazing!
Is this a Dwight from The Office on tenor?
where's the band personnel from? very nice comp for the soloists
What age are these kids in the band? Great band and rhythm section!
DONNY!!!!!

the face of drumer and trumpet between 07:31-07:39 is CLASSIC! LOL
C James Blues.
Where the hell is Danny's time. Dude is all over the place. And he I see Paul directing the band, 'yo' from All-star band class of 96 and 97.
O carinha do tenor mandou mais que Redman
I don't think Donny McCaslin cares about what you guys think
You play fantastic
...freakin' hilarious!

That's right :D
not really a fan of big band jazz but enjoyed it anyway.Didn't know Al Murray played trombone.
excuse me while I go practice.............
１人目、、、笑
AM I crazy or did the sax player before Joshua Redman totally blow everyone in the band away? How old is he? I quit!
That’s Donny McCaslin he’s 53
Perhaps a slight exaggeration, I was not "faulting Redman", and I know full and well about soloing before and after someone else (no matter how great or bad the other players are), and Donny's solo was WAY too long (distastefully so..)

Agreed. Redman is more melodic with his playing. McCaslin could too, but I guess he chose to be flashy in this one solo. He is a good player though!
Josh is heavy. Mr Sheppard is technically proficient. There's a difference there and Redman showed it to the band.
This was killing but ambrose is gunna be so much more hang
He played way way too much. I was just thinking the opposite. Almost no melodic content and all flash.
