I like the part when he plays saxophone

this set should be recorded in the log of significant events that took place in the 20th century. like a footnote in the next gem's history books. and oh yeah, in '94 blade, mcbride and redman perfectly resonated with the frequency of the universe for several minutes with the utmost groove. and no one noticed, but its on the test

amazing! joshua is the best living saxofone palyer!

He does have that wonderful tone and that great technique..The ideas are the most amazing.Can anyone imagine the ideas flowing at that speed.Loved it.

Joshua is one of the best players of our times. This was recorded in 1994! I saw him last year with his Elastic Band. They performed at the Blue Note. My Trumpet player and I were speechless. JR keeps creatively pushing the limits with his music and jazz.

It's a Sonny Rollins head (with an unforgettable one-note melody) - I forget the name. It's on Dizzy Atmosphere Changes, which predates the Eternal Triangle by 10 years and is a whole step lower.

Freaking right! I was lucky to see him in Seattle on his last visit. He is such an intense live performer. I couldn't keep a smile off of my face for a full two hours. He is really an incredible player.

He is the man! His saxophone chops are amazing!

This is an awesome quartet. Love the solos!!

Love his technique, artistry AND sound.

👑 👑 thank you for creating this masterpiece!

Joshua Redman has some of the most well-developed solos of any jazzers I've ever heard.

I love how Josh quotes St. Thomas so much and never makes it old like at 1:59 Genius.

I really love how this was recorded a year before I was born, yet it feels so new. If it was pop, people would be commenting on how old it was and how they used to like this song. Instead we comment on how good the players are and the techniques they're using etc. Jazz is a way of life! Thanks uploader. PEACE!

I am sooooo GRATIFIED! That MASTERS - like Joshua and WYNTON - to name a few - REALIZE the INTRINSIC value - to the crux of the art form! Of course; this is a brand new century and the art form, we collectively refer to as jazz, is constantly ' morphing' - necessarily. But the artistry of the past, that some 'listeners', deem "..., old 'tyme'", is YET TO BE EQUALLED!!!

such a MASTER at the tenor!

one of the best today!

Amazing from start to finish!

total control of his horn, awesome, awesome, awesome. Brian Blade and christian mcbride are one of the best backups such a great soloist can ask for

Gorgeous!!!!!!

That was out of this Earth!!!

Going too see them tomorrow, hyped as hell! :D

Amen my man.. one of the more well put comments I have yet to read on here... thank you!

Folks, the song is actually called "Straight Ahead." It's a Kenny Dorham composition based on the rhythm changes, with a harmonic substitution or two. Check it out on the Dorham Blue Note CD _Una Mas_.

Thank you my brotha!!

He has it all control, tone, creativity, IMHO he is the best living tenor man alive today..

unbeliveable! redman is the man

Jazz the most expressive music in the industry ! Every one playing their instrument can give their own expression.Love it or leave it.

Man Joshua Redman found a really good link. Im surprised he doesnt play on it all the time. His tone is super rich here.

love this doxy quote/rhythm changes-massacre! they all groove like their life is depending on it!

Holy shit! That bass solo is turning crazier every second!

Even without those amazing chops he rules with the huge sound!!!

This was recorded the year I was born. Christ, I wish I was alive then.

I think that this is an encore is the most impressive thing. The man must have lungs made from pure steel, and lips made of rubber. I could go on with the examples, but it would be over labouring the point xD. Kudos Joshua, one of the best. Fantastic quartet in general tbh.

Amazing !!! la grande classe !!! J'aime

The double-bass solo at the end. Legendary.

Otima qualidade musical, articulação,e conhecimento andando junto com o aprendiz!

Fantastyczna muzyka we wspaniałym wykonaniu. Andrzej Ś.

joshua redman, ONE OF MY FAVORITE SAXOPHONISTS!!!!

Amazing...

Sabe tudo esse cara !!!

that sound is killin

Joshua Redman is owning the sax right now!!

the best!

He is one of the only players I've experienced who is so well rounded. His ears are HUGE! He plays with such emotion and technically he's a monster. With the passing of Michael Brecker, this world needs players like JR. Although MB was one of the greats of our times. JR is stepping it up big time. If you have seen him live, do it. He will blow your mind.

Redman queeeeeeee maestro !!!!!!

Joshua is the man

Wow!

Thank you Joshua, thank you Sonny...

ohhh myyyyy gooooddddd

I would kill to get 2 minutes with those guys. What an amazing quartet. Un-be-fuckin-lievable.

wow!!!

Jaa!!! Det här är grymt!!!! Bra solo med Joshua Redman

jonny king is so killin' and not many ppl know about him.

that was fun to hear.

I loved Coltrane and Brecker now i listen to Joshua.

dieu que c beau!!!!!!!

exactly. If your here, enjoy the music. If you happen to dislike it then move on to something that your tastes appreciate better. it's all about perspective, there is no way to say who is worse or better. if Justin Bieber gives you the feeling this gives me then so be it.

what a nice piano solo!

Time killin´it!!!!

Whoa shit. Joshua Redman. What a sound!!!

I completely agree...

there is another video with the rest of the song, it has christian mcbride's solo and then brian blade's. its incredible. he is one of the only drummers ive heard who can play melodically on the drums. its aweosme.

St Thomas!!! Awesome song ^^

I love his sound on this mouthpiece more.

thanks :P

Wonderful sax playing, very enjoyable. The melody is not clearly heard until about 1:40. I heard Sonny Rollins live in concert performing this song, St. Thomas, about 12 years ago - and I can hear a lot of similarities in certain phrasing.

Calm down everybody, as a musician myself, I've come to the realization that criticizers DON'T do!! Or, in lay mans terms, haters have never, can never, or will NEVER play!

Great !

Jonny King!!!!!!!!! yeah

He's got chopssssss!

redman is a beast

Kind of Ab rhythm changes!!damn!!SUPER!

jonny king is SO killin'. it's a shame more ppl don't know about him. crazy that he's also an ivy league trained lawyer

You hit it right on the head. Posts about "the best" are ridiculous! The cats at this level are ALL great. It's funny because I was out having beers and a meal last week with Ed Calle and we were discussing this VERY thing. When you are comparing Henderson, Garzone, Margitza, Wayne, Bird, Dexter, Mintzer, Sonny, Lovano, Kenny G (don't get excited...Garrett), etc. you can discuss stylistic and improvisational differences but that's it. The BEST? Throw that word away and just enjoy the groove!!!

I don't know about you guys, but I think these are "Eternal Triangle" rhythm changes. Listen to how the bridge descends in half steps. In particular, check out 8:50.

great tone.

that piano solo is awesome

great :D

Its the same chord changes as the song "Dizzy Atmosphere" It's a rhythm changes in Ab concert with an alternate bridge The Changes on the bridge are | A-7 | D7 | Ab-7 | Db7 | G-7 C7 | F#-7 B7 | F-7 Bb7 | E-7 A7 |

👏👏👏👏

Blade and Redman seems like the modern day Coltrane and Max Roach. With their interest in musicality and exploration. And simply the excitement of it all.

I often play like this.........then I wake up and realize it was a dream:p

DA FUCKING BOMB!!! Thanks for the great video!

666 liked it. Hell has the best music for sure. ^^

He threw in Old St. Thomas!!!!!! Man knows how to get down!

St. Thomas. There's another killer version of this tune on Joshua Redman Quartet; Spirit of the Moment, Live at the Village Vanguard.

Jonny King's solo is super underrated. Great development, strong phrasing... it's just overshadowed by Redman. And his comping throughout, especially during McBride's solo, is laying in the pocket really hard. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The quote is St.Thomas and it was written by Sonny Rollins.

His technique Is nearly flawless, and his signature tonal quality is all Joshua's

No. posting material from commercial DVD's is against my policy. All this stuff comes out of my VHS video collection i recorded the past ten years. The most material i recorded from sveral european broadcastings systems.

genioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Se ele fosse considerado hoje o melhor da atualidade ainda teria que aprender algo para chegar a perfeiçao oque nunca ele iria deixar de buscar,o conhecimento!(sendo assim,um eterno aprendiz!).

Joshua is a talented guy...he always does a great job at recycling the old, 1940s-50s, honkin', party-time sax playing. It's like testifying in church! But, as brilliant as he is, the poor cat was simply born 50 years too late. At least he makes it really fun! Wynton Marsalis has the same chops but seems so because that his olde tyme Ellington jazz doesn't survive outside of high school band festivals. Joshua is of the moment!

You're right, this are the Eternal Triabgle changes.

WOW!!! Now that's cooking!

It's nothing new. The played very well. And that is still a fun style to play over whether it is new or not. It is fuel for the soloist. The thing about having to be new is that most of the new stuff is either too free or it's too confined -neither of which is...fun. Give me something fun, I say! This was pretty fun, if you ask me!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great playing. Sounds like Dexter Gordon and Sonny Rollins all in one.
