he eh you r not so wrong also if I respect all of them (Joshua is quite a child comparing to them)...but Mike..yes he is blessed...by himself 'cause he built note by note step by step his style and personality
Nah. Just different great cuisines on the menu. You know that Brecker revered Liebman, right? They played countless hours together in Lieb’s Chelsea loft in the early 70s?
@@nz7244 haha you’re definitely right! It’s interesting to see how they all took the style of Coltrane their own way. Brecker also revered Garzone and considered him the true master of the sax
Sir, it's in his mind all the time, but he's totally in his zone, ....but hears everything in the rhythm section. Only a genius level can play like that. He's the extension of Trane.
@@IamSaralinka Right. I don't think he full on lost the form but he definitely got out of synch with Jack Dejohnette. I'm pretty sure they were supposed to play more of Trane's solo choruses and Garzone was supposed to go right after him but Geoff soloed and it ended up working out fine that way. Whatever - it was a live performance. These things happen!
The amazing endurance of Jack Dejohnette, much respect. He not only jogs through countless choruses of Tenor Madness, he puts a drum solo on top of it. Pure energy.
Each one of them is his own man - all have absorbed Coltrane's music and integrated it into their own playing in their own ways - IMO, it's not a matter of who is 'the winner' - it's about enjoying each player on his own terms
As a player, I never felt I had to “best” somebody unless we were cutting. I feel these guys were just making their own statements. It’s up to us, the audience, to decide what works to make us feel.
Not many mentions of George Garzone on these comments. I think the look on Michael Breckers face says it all. Mr Garzone is out of this world. Super human intensity. I could listen to him forever. All the others are great, no question but I think Jack De seems to go up a notch when Mr Garzone plays. Fantastic video.
It's so funny how we all have such different taste! I'll admit I'm not a Garzone expert but I've never heard him play anything resembling a melody during a solo... Always the same incoherent "runs" that I can't wait to skip. Wonder if that's what the master Brecker sounds like to the untrained ear 😂 Friend of mine enrolled late and got stuck with Garzone for a semester. Ended up transferring out halfway through and I totally see why.
I have to head' back to the shed cuz they'll probably call this tune or So What this week, and i definitely do not have a sufficiently interesting answer in hand for that question. darn you. thanks.
Here Brecker demonstrates why he became the most imitated, iconic, and stylish tenorist of the 1970's onward. His unique style grew out of a love for the masters that came before him, the aesthetic they developed in pursuit of musical and creative excellence, and their desire for a personal form of expression that acknowledged the past while looking toward the future.
Joshua Redman solo pulls the whole rhythm section into a gravitational stretch of spacetime (and then brings them back to a safe landing) and it is even more evident when they're trading 21:10
This is such a rare treat, I'm a tenor player and love the love of the instrument. They all are great! What a brilliant idea to get some of the best saxophonist on the same stage.
All are amazing!!! But I've always been partial to Michael Brecker. I was at the Playboy Jazz Festival in 2007 and there was supposed to be a Brecker Brothers reprise... I assume it had something to do with Michael's ill health and wanting that one more moment. Sadly, as everyone knows, the world lost Michael Brecker a few months before this could ever happen. They went ahead with the performance with Bill Evans on saxophones. Randy Brecker, who I've had the extreme honor and pleasure of meeting on a few occasions and even played with him once (sort of... he was guest artist at Head of the Lakes Jazz Fest my junior year of college), was just beaming with pride... and the set was AMAZING!! I think it might just be the goose-bumpiest moment I've ever experienced in music!!
"Lol @ Brecker laughing at himself for coming in early on the head at the beginning of the vid." Perhaps he was just too eager about _first impressions._
Michael Brecker will go down as one of the all time greats in Jazz history, but Joshua Redman is most definitely his equal on this tune. Liebman and Garzonne are no doubt great players but they can.t seem to match the level of Brecker and Redman in this performance.
Mike was always sooooo relaxed in his hand positions. I love all these saxophonists and their passion! Not to mention the rest of the band and their responsive and contributory skills!!
Such a joy. Jazz at its intense modern swinging Best. Everybody killed it and brought their own flavor to it. As someone who was friends with Mike and remains good friends with Lieb, I’m grateful that this is out there so people can hear how great these guys were in their prime. Dejohnette!!!

Each and every solo (and the killer rhythm section) was brilliant, stunning, mind blowing. I was particularly taken by Liebman's strange chthonic harmonic approach, but I loved each one, and the whole, including the unisons. It is all beautiful to my million mile an hour brain.
Michael Brecker snijdt dwars door je ziel. He touches your soul like Cortrane. Thanks for uploading this great piece of music. They're all outstanding though.
Oh yes !..Book me concorde to NYC and I want front-row at Newport for the Tenors gig.. wow ! Unison 'trane soloing is a good idea and should happen everywhere, all the time instead of classical recitals. What a feel the rhythm section(s) are getting. Holland's bass has the extra oomph and paired with Jack it's like a '75 Sonny Rollins free-jazz gig. Pianist is i think nailing the original comping on the head ! bravo ! For me, Brecker is best when he's doing 'trane or Dexter. Here his solo is Lawful-Evily bad with no stale licks or un-ended ideas. His phrasing is so good any serbo-croat or chinese speaker would understand instantly and his tone and bending are sEnSaTiOnAl !! I happen to like Garzone a lot for his triangular way, but Brecker is head and shoulders the giant here. Love it. Thanks for posting.
My humble opinion: #1 - Best Solo = Garzone, another level. #2 - 2nd Place = Redman/Brecker tie. #3 - Christian McBride, ‘nuff said. #4 - Incredible Rhythm Section, as an ensemble. Endurance, contribution and support in so many deep ways throughout. #5 - DeJohnette’s solo, spirit. #6 - Keezer’s fine comping and selflessness. Not to be underestimated. Not as audible/present as it should be in this video capture, but if you listen closely, you can hear its importance. Remaining aspects/challenges: A. Difficult live sound job. Often the case on festival gigs like this. The music shines through, however. One could imagine how gorgeous all this would sound with all or most of the electricity turned off. B. The leader of the group contributes beautiful energy and vibe to the ensemble and the proceedings, but on this particular performance, his solo work “loses the thread” within the first 8 bars and never recovers. This has nothing to do with playing “out” vs. “in”, etc. It has to do with more fundamental aspects than that. The leader can be heard constructing much more coherent improvisations, including “very out” playing, on his earlier recordings as a sideman with Elvin Jones in particular.
Everyone had it delivered supernally but Garzone’s solo can be printed and bound for a full course on jazz improvisation. Good balance between chops and melodic innovation
Haha, no wonder Joshua Redman could stand one on one with James Carter in front of the whole world - he stood before Micheal Brecker here. Nothing more could faze a young great like Joshua.
Micheal Breaker is not God. He studied the hell out of John Coltrane , Joe Henderson, and all the other master before him. He's is a great we all can agree , but he is not God. God gave him and everyone of the musicians here on this video their magnificent gift. Breaker is God . Really?😢
I am at the Coltrane Saxophone University of the Arts where tenor saxophone notes have flowed like the River Nile in inundation .What a musical tsunami! Their similar styles evoke that 'Tranesque pursuit in superfluity. Not in school today are James Carter, Ernie Watts, and Ed Calle. Chris Vadala is indisposed for attendance. Today's class is for only tenors, hence the conjectured absence of Kenny 'Pursuance' Garrett who evokes a similar 'Tranesque presentation when and if he so chooses. Check out his Tribute to Coltrane. During an improvisational on slaughter such as executed herein, time awareness becomes unknowingly subservient to melodic and harmonic presentation . This is Jazz!
The soloing is obviously what it is but the other thing about this clip....The comping! Keezer never flags for a second playing behind the other cats And DeJohnette is just SO connected to the soloists. Great clip
I studied with Garzone a little at NEC. He was so cool. He had a way of explaining really complex concepts is a really clear, straightforward manner. Huge impact on my playing.
