Steve is heir to a most vital part of the Coltrane Legacy; his drive, urgency, conception and spirit are like no one else of his generation or the generation since.
Well... he does have that Coltrane DNA happening, like all his great contemporaries - with that Junior Walker something the whole next generation sort of naturally dug into - most exemplified by Michael Brecker. Although S.G. played with a more pure abandon. Jesus, whoever the drummer is he is ridiculous. I airways loved Billy Hart but if this is him it's the best I ever heard him play... The snare sound and the "angles" make me think it is him.
Richie B u are an excellent musician that I met at Keystone Korner when I believe u played with Guitar Maven Larry C..about 1975?Todd’s Place..I didn’t know u were President of the Jazz Police..Sometimes u have to follow the Leader,even if he rushes..Would u have the audacity to tell McCoy or Elvin to stop Rushing when they had the blessing to be on the Same Bandstand as Trane?I will see Billy Hart next week at SF Jazz and ask him if he recalls playing on this gig,And if this is the case,I will post his remembrances with his permission on the comments section to clarify his feelings about Rushing…It happens,But SG was going for it,and to my ears he said plenty!!
Almost 100% positive that's Billy Hart. Brushes playing, and sensitivity to the bassist's pulse. His distinctive "& of 1" brush accents, too. Guitarist might be Mick Goodrick. Really reminds me of his fluidity, similarities/homage to Metheny, while still playing more Grant Green/Jim Hall stuff. Also, cleaner tone than metheny, and hints of an octave pedal?
Mick Goodrick sprang to mind for me as well. Although I don’t know his sound as well as I should. There’s some overlap with Metheny - wasn’t Goodrick Metheny’s teacher at Berklee? Or am I making that up? Whoever this is, they’re clearly a great guitarist.
I don't think that Steve Grossman' performances after 80s was better than those of his 70s. However, this performance was quite excellent just like his play in 70s. Insanity has been his long point, whether it is good or bad!
@@kevingoss1189 yeah, I think you're thrown off by the difference in guitar tone. The left-hand-driven lines are definitely there. Too many examples to mention, but here are a few: The line at 3:00 is one that he used in Missouri Uncompromised from the Bright Size Life album. The one at 3:22 is one that he used a lot in the 70's and 80's. The line starting at around 4:22 actually provides some insight into a line that he used in the tune Off Ramp. Like I said, this is either Pat minus his usual setup or someone who knows his vocabulary inside out.
@@myroncohen7619 what ??if you start as a medium tempo and end as an UP TEMPO TUNE then you cant play another after it !! it LIMITS YOUR CHOICES !!who are YOU ??
they naturally gained tempo as the playing got more exciting. this happens in dozens of recordings of trane playing this tune, and thousands of performances in jazz history
Incredible performance. Grossman was a Beast!!

ever heard of ben solomon?
Fair statement. Grossman is a complete bad azz!
Grossman>Ben Solomon sorry
Steve Grossman AMAZING!
God Bless you, Steve. One of the main reasons I gravitated towards the tenor. R.I.P.
Afro Blue Impressions continues and lives on through this marvelous expression!!
I'll never get enough of Grossman
Thank u for posting…My drummer friend George Brown played often with SG in Paris..May have access to a cassette recording that is even more burning…

Always not AIRWAYS
Thank you for posting this .
Steve was soooo friggin' good!
Great playing! In top form. Definitely the heir to 60's on this recording. Great sound.
the guitar work was out of this world. and then the sax at 4:55 on somehow eclipsed that. these guys are legends.
Great guitar
Maybe young Marc Ducret on guitar? RIP Steve Grossman, a giant.
no ducret

Stunning. Could that be Abercrombie on guitar?
I like it!! 🎶🎷😃
Thank you

GoodRick is a good guess. I still don’t really hear the Metheny thing.
@szumo1982 Could be Philip Catherine has that gypsy guitar touch...
@@jampoles comme vous je pense à Philip Catherine en écoutant ce son de guitare.
Mick Goodrick sprang to mind for me as well. Although I don’t know his sound as well as I should. There’s some overlap with Metheny - wasn’t Goodrick Metheny’s teacher at Berklee? Or am I making that up?

Guitar: ROSS TRAUT
Freakin’ beast

He always sounded amazing
🔥 🔥 🔥 ! 🎷
Guitar Philipe Catherine???
😯💐🍀💚
I think that the drummer was really Billy Hart, but the guitarist was not identified. Anyway, Steve Grossman at the avenue was quite excellent!
May be Harry Pepl but non shure....
I think it was Billy Hart also.
4:51 Steve’s solo
Definitely Billy Hart
Thats where brecker bought the bread....
The guitarist sounds like Pat Metheny or someone who was emulating him.
Not at all. There is no chorus on the guitar tone and they aren’t the kind of lines Metheny plays .

Sounds like Pat Metheny.....
Micheal B. Got licks from Grossman
Meh, Grossman wasn't exactly original with his ideas here. He sounds like a coltrane wannabe, it's convincing.
they are RUSHING !!!! check opening tempo of head at the beginning
ESCAPING FROM THE ISLE OF MAN!!
Clearly they have accelerated time during Guitar solo😮 An immense Steve Grossman anyway...
So What!!as long as u don’t drag!!
