6:18 Redman preaching a nice sermon, Carter out there speaking in tongues

Come on guys, can't we leave the judgments aside and just see two amazing musicians (they are) having a hell of a time?

True art comes from honesty. Playing that comes from who YOU are. Both these men do. There is no contest. It's just art man...just appreciate each for what they are doing and who they are.

They are both amazingly talented players. Thank god for different styles. How boring would it be if everyone played exactly the same. The contrast of styles is what makes this sooooo good! Bravo!

If anyone is wondering why the trumpet section is so mental, 4 of the 5 in the section are lead players. Jon Faddis, Byron Stripling, Greg Gisbert and Earl Gardner. Overkill?

6:29 Redman: Let's play some jazz! Carter: Nah, Ima walrus!!

The contrast,man.The contrast betweeen the two of them is just outta this world.

I've watched this so many times that I've lost count... the thing that amazes me the most is how flawlessly Carter and Redman work together, building off of one another, trading the spotlight. They're the crème of the crop on their own but together... something really special happens. I don't think I've ever seen two musicians, or people in general, work that well together.

Anyone trained in music can appreciate what these two are doing.

Redman, you are my idol, but Mr. Carter, you are beyond incredible. The battle was VERY close, ... I can't believe I am writing this... James Carter has the edge on this one. REMATCH!!!! I demand it!!!!! Josepbetoret, thanks for this post!!

Good playing! Carter was meant to be the next "Great" in jazz some years back. His technique, range, knowledge of the tradition, and multi-instrumental mastery were unmatched. Good to see Redman step out of the soporific confines of MOR jazz and show that he is his father's son.

Excellent performances from two of my favourite current saxophonists.

Again and again J. Redman is just killing and freak n amazing. So natural,smooth ,cool,he is just a legend player!! No doubt...

41 persons haven't got idea of the saxo. This guys are amazing. It's a very good video thanks to publicate.

You must like this comment if the entire video you were thinking, "I need to go practice, after I'm done wiping the drool from my face."

Joshua Redman all the way 🎷

WOW fantastic! nothing like retro jazz... all real sound!

well..@ 3 years I was a sponge, open to everything, and i still am. I've been improvising and writing music for about 9 years, playing music for 12. all i can say is, really get to know who you are, what you like, what you really want to play, and don't let the schools steer you away from YOU. i went to "jazz" school and it put me in a dark place where I was constantly judging myself and trying to sound like everyone else. create your own music, be creative, push boundaries, break the rules

i had the blessing of seeing george adams and pharoah sanders...they really played the music from their souls, deep in their souls. it's something that i always am inspired by and am humbled by their ability to express so beautifully...i also saw yusef lateef...the most humble person you could ever meet.

These guys both tear it up. Completely different styles and both masters in their own right. This video is just unbelievable.

My all time inspiration video from my absolute MOST favorite sax GOAT's of this generation. Both has always reminded me why I love to simply play and be creative!

That cadenza split my head wide open.

Oh my God. Just the contrast of the raw, aggressive style of James Carter to the beautiful lines and phrasing of Joshua Redman just... I quit.

Amazing!!!! I love them both but Josh Redman is so smooth. I just love it!

this duo is the shit... they can swing with the best of them... proud to say I've seen them both perform... wish I had seen them together... thanks for posting!

at first James was stealin the show because he came out with heat and Josh was just goin through the motions... then he started havin fun goin back and forth. That was effin amazing!!!

7 and a half minutes of pure epic win.

I like Redman's approach more, but I like Carter's tone more. To me its more unique, bigger, gutsier, and a tid bit crazy haha. Gotta love the projection and guts of that Conn he's playin.

Tanto o Joshua quanto o Carter, são influências indiscutíveis, muito bom o vídeo !

Lordy, lordy, James is 40. Happy Birthday today James. I hope it's a good one. I hope you can come to South Carolina and perform someday. Again, Happy Birthday.

el final es un duelo titanico... ambos increibles saxofonistas!!!! jame electrico como un rayo... joshua agua templada cayendo por una vertiente ....

Killin' it! Love the way they traded licks and came out smokin' at the end.

Truly two of my favorite saxophonists... together!

I'm gonna cry that was amazing.

Both Amazing Saxophonist James and Joshua I so much enjoy to listen

Truer words were never spoken.

Absolutely raw....Love it.

Damn good, man! You can feel the intensity.

What a fantastic BAND backin that HUGE talent upfroni!!!

Le Doy gracias a Dios por darme oportunidad de ver este video... es sorprente... muchas gracias por ponerlo en youtube

5:27 Faddis stfu back there, these guys are trying to solo lol

If I could only play like one...........it would be James Carter in practice, and Joshua Redman in concert. Both absolutely amazing.

Awesome to see the drastically different styles between the two players! Thanks!

And that my friends it's pure madness! I'm shure those saxophones can sleep well after that work

Beautifuly Amazing! Wow! Redman Highly Simple, Carter Highly classy! More than a gift... A Blessing!

Music at its best!!!

I like a lot this video!!! What a body has the sound of James Carter, it blows away Joshua Redman!!! Incredible!!! I never see Carter plays like this.....I feel more american the sound of Carter, I don´t know if he uses here an american horn but it seems to do it....

Two of the best.

I can't even come close to wrapping my head around how amazing this is...

These guys are both fantastic saxophone players and their styles are so different, their sounds are so different. I don't think it's healthy for people to get so worked up over who's solo was better and start insulting the other player for no reason or just insulting them both. It can't be healthy to sit in front of a computer screen and type abuse at people for no reason whatsoever

Man that walking bass tho !! That’s the glue to everything

Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇸

Redman is playing for his life!

It's always fun to see two jazz titans clash

Thank you so much for publishing this!!!

Redman gets my vote.

Is nobody going to mention that at 2:20 it shows Carter playing during Redman's solo. Interesting editing

wow!!! this is a great video!!! James Carter and Joshua Redman going at it. Nothings better than this. This pays omage to alot of the previous legends of the tenor sax. This is like a common tenor battle. Both are them are so great that there can't be a better one, you seriously cannot judge who is better. James carter has a lot of bean in his sound which is why he one of my favorites. this is just so fun to listen to!!!

James Carter é mt bom! ele é o cara

Love you guys, Outstanding performance 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Chills down my spine. Amazing!

Bonito documento, dos estilos diferentes pero compatibles...

they are both spewing greatness though those horns. climactic ending.

What a high killing pitch note both J & J! Plus great big band! Greeting from Jazz man, Kuala Lumpur.

to me, the power in jazz comes from breaking the rules and keeping w the times. bebop was based on popular swing music from the 50's. it was a new "language", it was innovative & still in touch w what people were listening to. Same reason Miles and Trane made such an impact. they took music to the next frontier while keeping in touch w changes in society. today, in the "academic jazz" world, they want us to keep everything traditional and swinging, but they wonder why no one buys jazz records.

Eles são demais, se completam, se superam. Wonderful! Gracias!

A taste of the future. I know both of them have been around a while, but but still, recognize!

unbelieveble just amazing duello....Joshua gets sublime at the end....

Awesome performance!

sweet man....such awesome tones both!

Probably the two best modern players.

no word for that ! thank u !

I love that at around 5:30 the trumpet in the band gets disgusted and starts wailing over the soloists.

Wonderful !

Trumpets: in the background at 5:30; Me: Dafuq?

Yeah i mean I just started immersing myself in jazz 3 years ago but I have been playing music for the past 13 years and I'm only a senior in high school. I have a lot to learn ! I agree with what you say about the improve though. From what I've learned though true great improve is hard to do. I personally enjoy just thinking of things on the spot and playing what I'm feeling, but it doesn't hurt to have ideas ready to use like them. Thats also improve, just figured out before the gig.

This was great!!!!!

OMG!!! I Love the last part!!!!

i loved preforming at that venue it was amazing to see how many ppl just watched so closely to just you and you feel like your life is finally complete it truley was amazing and seeing videos takes me back to it i love it

World class performers. A pleasure.

el ultimo minuto es arte puro. Quien haya tenido la suerte de ver en directo a estos dos monstruos en un duelo face to face, ya no puede pedir mas.

Ah. the classic tenor battle. and i can't think of two more talented people for the job nowadays.

it doesnt matter whos better, cuz both are FREAKIN damn good

Joshua Redman 'AND' James Carter Live At Carnegie Hall no battle here just 2 great musicians..........move along!

They both are great. But James Carter is swinging. He sounds so sweet. Great video

Yo BrentBMX, I'm with you all the way baby. James Carter is definitely a monster tenor player. He plays or did play with the World Sax Quartet, and I think that that shit is an accomplishment. Some of the stuff Carter does in that group is insane.

There is no winner, just preferences. It's music. You'll make the realization when you are older and more experienced.

I like the end where they just both go crazy... i think it gives it that extra something! Absolutely Amazing!

it's unbelievable that they can go out and play like this but i can hardly play 3 songs at a band recital

Impressionante!!

What beasts, those guys are ridiculous

both are great!

James carter always giving me chills

I can't believe Carter would play like that at Carnegie Hall

WOW. two young Giants in today's jazz ... no comparisons required ... two of the baddest cats currently, if not ever ... I only wish the sound engineer would've realized James' microphone wasn't as efficiently audible as Joshua's was. Easier to hear Josh vs. James. Still a classic piece of artistry. GLAD IT WAS CAPTURED ON FILM/TAPE, ETC.

WOW! I choose both.

PERFECT!!!!!!

Who want another round between these two ?

*wheeze* freakin' epic! love their solo! 10/10

Simplemente Maravilloso. Que no daría por tener el privilegio de escuchar en directo a estos dos grandes artistas.
