Just imagine you have the world’s best Jazz Musicians on the stage and it sounds like the microphones are made by fisher Price toys

who the hell was the sound engineer? Homer Simpson?

Fire that sound engineer

Who is the sound man at these Newport festivals? Jesus Christ!

Mccoy Tyner has accidentally skipped two bars comping Mike's second chorus at 2:38. Something really interesting happens here, Mike is first right but then realizes almost immediately the mistake and re-syncs with the piano, basically at the same time once that is established Christian McBride follows them but Roy Haynes is keeping the original form until some moments after the second half of that chorus hits so everybody then comes back together again. The lessons from this are two in my opinion: 1) Doing mistakes is human and being a great pro means having good ears and being able to react with whatever new situation being flexible. In this cause Mike has so much the sound of the tune's chord progression in the head that going back in track is almost automatic. 2) Timing in jazz is the most important thing, and here the musicians are so solid that even though the harmonic form got twisted the whole thing did not collapse.

How a sound engineer can destroy the performance of the best musicians ... They do not hear themselves on stage. In these conditions, it's a real feat to continue to play! It's not a question of saying "they are as human and not demi-gods", obviously they are, but they are not responsible for what happens in the monitors. Look at Mc Coy at 6'17 ", he can't believe his ears! Shame on the sound engineer!

wow!! What a band !!

This performance proves that they are people and not demi-gods. Except McCoy, he might actually be a demi-god.

Awesome

still love this music!!

GET THAT SAX IN THE MIX!!!

THANKS.

Despite all the other problems, I love the way they captured Brecker's sound on this recording. It's very pure sounding compared to some of his other recordings.

what a band

i actually think this is pretty exciting music. they're barely keeping it together. feels like it could fall apart at a moment's notice.

Oh, how I adore this musical fraternity especially the pairing of Ravi Coltrane with his father's idol Michael Brecker - himself an inspiration to Ravi Coltrane! And, oh yes, John Coltrane lives! And, yes, so does Michael Brecker! Ravi and his big brother! So emotional, my listening to John Coltrane through the media of Mike and Ravi!

From what I could hear of Ravi, he crushed it.

I know all these guys are legends but it was rough lol. Having experienced this on stage several times I can share this.....when the sound is bad and you can't hear each other, it's impossible to really sync and it creates this panic in your mind and each player starts to play different time. Screws everything up lol. Also sounds like they were playing variations of the arrangement as far as playing those hits on the head. Piano and drums were playing 2 different swings while bass was trying to hold them together. When all else fails follow McBride lol! He won't lead you to a bad feel. All in all, it happens even to the best players. Sound sucked and everyone approached it differently, causing a slight trainwreck.

I don't know what the sax mics are but either one of them was turned off or one was in the wrong mode. Ravi's sax sounds likes it's across a hallway.

She killed it . I really love the song someone can give me the title and the name of the singer please . Wowww

michel Brecker tremendo saxo pero escuchas un solo y los escuchaste todos !! solo en el cd Infinity de Mcoy Tyner trio se luce en algunos temas bajo la influencia del terrible trio con avery Sharpe y Aaron Scott

McCoy Tyner not far from death at this time......nothing goes as predicted in this live....

Dayuuuum wtf was the sound guy? And why Ravi standing so far away the mic.

4:02 woooo🔥

7:28 : when you have a II V in C to play on the bass, thanks to the open strings to do whatever you want with your left hand...

Who was the sound man ? Stewart Lee ?

at the top of the form mccoy was trying to play the intro but the band played the head lol.

yeah mcbride

Learning 4 jazz band wish me luck

Just an amateur's observation here, but it seems the way Roy Haynes is spacing the swing is too loose or spread out for the flow. Kind of gives the tempo a weird undertow or something. Al Foster swings it tighter when he plays with Tyner in their Coltrane tribute recorded at The Village Vanguard, and that band also plays it maybe 20 bpms faster.

McCoy Tyner didn't break the form that's how he plays it

Does white sax have the dizzy gillispejr desease

Wow, what a dodgy entrance, Actually, most of it was a bit of a mess. (Damn Christian McBride is rock solid though!) It's great to see that such giants are fallible like the rest of us. They don't sweat it, nobody got hurt, they smile and move on.

Can someone exactly explain what is going on ?

Oscar the Grouch on sound?

He’s playing on the same stage his father and pharaoh sanders played on

0:22 bruh my left speaker exploded. wth sound engineer!

2:34

Don’t look like mike is playing his main horn looks so shiny.

Why is ravi's mic not working?

Blow in the mic MAN WILL YOU I WANNA HEAR YA

Was ravi ever up there with his dad

6:12

One can assume that the race card was pulled with the mic situation... Passed the politics, they were On!!!

0:15 thought the lead sax player started in the wrong key for a sec

...so we're just gonna ignore that a COLTRANE is on stage?

Ravi needs a bell Mike lol.

Ouch

What’s wrong with the sound

poor ravi

Take it away Michael.

改めてブレッカーのソロの凄さを実感 Raviと雲泥の差だぜ

Lots of complaints about the sound engineer. Here's the truth though. Sax players need to show up to the gig with the right gear. If you can't stay focused on playing into the mic at a reasonable distance that's not the sound engineers problem. I'm a bassist, I have my bass, two pickups, a mic attached to the bass, an amp and a pedal board to adjust volume between arco and pizz and to mute the bass while I tune. I control my sound. I work with people who show up to gigs with just their instrument and they always complain about the sound. It is because they don't have the gear, they are at fault, not the sound engineer. I joke with sound engineers about this. They have also helped me set up my gear and give me advice about improving things, because I always ask them. They are a great source of knowledge, but they can only work with what they've got.

Jesus christian...

Good players, bad performance....

Those commenting on live sound mix are ignorant. I'm a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society. I've done a LOT mixing live sound for recording and broadcast, and while this mix is not PERFECT, it's damn good, and I'd be happy to put my name on it if it was mine.

Yikes that was rough...

breckers sound is harsh it has no sweet notes Ravi's does ..and sounds so much better for it...... you have to balance off outside playing with consonant sweet playing .Breckers doesn't want to do it or he just can't play sweet...at the end of the day it's light and shade ..harsh and sweet..the contrast makes the solo so much more powerful

Dafuq is McBride wearing?

This recording is maddening (aside from MB) - the drummer and bass player are totally out of sync, and the bass player is rushing. As has been said, the sound was poor as well.

This might be the most embarrassing performance ever put onto youtube. So many things wrong here.

this is an embarrassment in every way. Take this video down. Are you kidding

That was quite painful to watch and listen to in the beginning. You need a trumpet or flugelhorn and/or a trombone in order for the opening melody to sound good on this song. Two tenor saxes only? Seriously?

Ehhhhhh, pretty damn BORING!

Fire that sound engineer
