Check out The Bad Plus' most recent visit to our studios here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obaRaZB6s5mucXU.html

0:00 2 bars of 4/4 then a bar of 3/4. The pickup is on the last sixteenth note of the 3/4 bar. 0:08 3 full bars of 4/4 this time with the melody. Again, the pickup to the next phrase starts on the last sixteenth note. 0:16 2 bars of 4/4 followed by an extra 1/4 leading into a new riff. 0:22 6 full bars of the new riff in 3/4. 0:33 Back to the original motif without melody. This time four bars of 4/4 followed by an extra 1/4. 0:45 Everything from 0:08-0:44 repeats. 1:22 Solo form: 5 bars of 4/4 follow by 1 bar of 3/4. Repeats twice. 1:52-2:21 I can't decipher a time signature for this section but there is a clear repeating pattern. Here are the sixteenth note groupings the bassist and pianist follow: 9,7,7,9,9,7,9,7,7,9,9,6 (repeats twice). It would add up to 95/16 but it seems pretty far fetched that the Bad Plus would be thinking of it this way.

Joshua Redman is a legend

And that's how you get the gig.

Oh, I have the same cheap cymbals bag -- end of similarities.

The song is so intriguing because Redman is playing over multiple time signature changes and also because the band uses displacement throughout the piece. Redman's melodies fit like a glove over the intricate time changes and if you listen to Iverson you can follow the meter changes more easily than with the bass or drums (at least for me). Reid Anderson wrote this song. This band is awesome.

I just saw them last Sunday at Berklee College of Music Performance Center in Boston (a great little auditorium!) A brilliant show. These guys really know how to play together. It brought to mind Joe Zawinul's description of Weather Report when they first started: "We never solo, and we always solo."

Ethan's polyrhythms at 5:09 blag my head when even thinking about attempting to play this (11/8 on the left hand, 7/8 on the right?). 10/10

I fell in love with this song the moment that i heard it for the first time.

By algebra, if Bad plus Joshua Redman is good, then Joshua Redman is equal to the difference between good and bad.

Why is this so cool? Why does Redman want to play against these harmonies and melodies. I think the timing and changes excites him, as well as a new format. Redman, Potter, Garrett are my 3 fave saxophonists by far and I have learned so much joy from their albums.

I've listened to this piece about a hundred times, and I consider it the epitome of intelligent jazz. Thank you, Joshua, you are a great master!

An absolute beautiful tune. One that will come back to many times. The record is one that must be in a collection of modern Jazz.

This is the best thing I’ve heard in a long time

joey bada$$ and pusha t just sampled this in the song "No Explanation"

immovable object meets unstoppable force

I just got my mind blown off! This is amazing, first time hearing about this group and Joshua. I salute these guys and i am now a fan for life. Thank you for the inspiration,the odds of these guys ever coming to play in my country are like a zillion to one ,thank God for technology i can also marvel and be taken away....

The first couple times I listened to this I spent a lot of my attention trying to figure out the time signatures. A few listens in I let go and just enjoyed the listen. A hundred or so listens in, I ignore the time signatures intellectually and bob my head and move naturally without noticing or thinking about it. The song has a sneaky way of turning on your body and brain that feels very natural. One of my favorite TBP tunes and this live version is F'n amazing.

Joshua Redman has a true science of tempo ! Excellent theme !

This is one of the most creative compositions I’ve heard in years. Amazingly mesmerizing

I have no idea why watching this made me feel so euphoric! For real though, this was so spiritual!

This is my favorite jazz album of all time. Bold statement that I do not take lightly

WOW!

This is golden.

Clockwork drumming

Classic

Top notch, great musicianship. Met Dave once really funny and kind person.

One of my favourite tunes to listen to ...

my favorite, redman !!!!! tune ....

Can't wait to see this amazing quartet at North Sea Jazz this weekend!!

Wondrous ! I saw them a couple weeks before In Victoria at Jazzfest...absolutely mezmerizing ! The drummer knocked our socks off too ! I listen to KPLU all the time as well..Bravo !

It is a magnificent work of art, congrats !!!

Dave is truly da King.

Love the TBP+JR combination.

Wow....feel good

The pocket blows my mind. They're such a tight group! I'd love just to be some spare change in that pocket.

Bad man ting

consistent effortlessness

my favourite track, very nice live combo and top video/audio/artistic quality, congratulation to sound engineer

Very nice.

top show

cool!

I keep coming back to 2:45 😍

🙏❤️

MUCH better than the album version...

amazing engineering, who does kplu?

Sounds almost like the studio version of the song. pretty unique sound though

Can this group just stay together... Please?

cooll

It's as if their name was meant to have 'Joshua Redman' added to it at some point!

alguem me ajuda em uma informacao: Me.confirma qual é essa boquilha que Joshua Redman esta usando. Otto Link??

that`s piano! its fucking amazing!

How do I find that joshua redman solo on cherokee. I cant find it but I did like those lines.

Joey Bada$$ bought me here

Can someone explain the time signatures?

So I've been searching for a Bad Plus song that I can't seem to find....let me try to translate it into words....i think it's just all players just playing one note...over and over again. Drums plays snare and large tom-tom together while they play this one note in this almost non-rhythmic pattern. They play it for over a minute and then builds up into this loud and heavy zeppelinish jam. Anyone have a clue???

It's really interesting how subtly similar Joshua Redman's solo is to the album version, in its structure. Aside from his replaying of the melody funly at the end of it

That sax playing amongst the others sounds like a snake looks as it crawls through a series of boxes. That's my version of a musical theory analysis.

Dave King is on fire anyways

Nice One ! (an obsolete expression, maybe, but 'the moment slips away'). Try to shape it - use it - make it - eternal music, all living things must die - but are echoes of eternity.

Anyone knows which model is this amazing upright piano? Yamaha U1?

This track is hip-hop af

Eenstemmig

What's the timing?

0:33 how the heck (drummer) ?

Vin Diesel playing saxophone.

really trying to understand the time signatures here. i transcribed the harmony/chords but naively placed them over a 4/4. can anyone offer any hints about how the rhythm/meter is structured?

This song with some good vocals would be an absolute masterpiece. In my opinion.

it is odd to see EI in jeans

idk why but i was playing cod while listening to this ,i played better

cooll
