James Carter - Full Concert - 08/16/96 - Newport Jazz Festival (OFFICIAL) 

James learned all the rules of jazz but here he's showing us to break them and do your modern thing. He is the most innovative and creative in jazz today. Fortunately, he's accompanied by similar individuals who are deeply rooted in the true tradition of jazz wich stresses freedom, liberety, and improvisation...how to be yourself, not a clone of somebody else!

Being a saxophonist myself for over40 yrs. I think his approach to jazz is unique and i can truly appreciate the musical sentences he expresses. His technique is by far the best of what I have heard. I'm so sorry for individuals who can't appreciate his creativity of the craft of saxology. He's definitely at the top of the food chain and he has become over the years even more expressive artist and all I can say is continue growing and developing with that sax. This is food for the gods.

I'm 11 years old and i have LOVED jazz ever since I was 6

James Carter....amazing, he adds the flare and class that many saxophonist wished they had, I'm one of them. He's truly is an inspiration, he never takes any prisoners. Just kills it.

James Carter always on beast mode

James just played with our band here in Detroit at a joint on the East Side. He dropped in to sit in for a couple tunes and blew the roof off with that bari sax.

it's so thrilling to know that these great musicians still love these standards as much as we who appreciate the classics which never grow in any direction but to the sky in popularity and feeling ,as a percussionist I am in absolute Heaven when playing to these great tunes

Jazz is freedom!

James Carter, such a great saxophonist but so underrated !

Mr. Carter!!

Man, jazz is exciting!

Jazz is magic

Its an evolution of the horn experience, you might not be ready for it, but you surely have to respect the talent.

Wow amazing

awesome!

fantastico

5:55 what a lick

Toca demais!!!!! Fenomenal

Wow!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Really like his interpretation of clarinet....Bechet meets dolphy

18:00ish: that looks like a Selmer VI ,low A model. You don't see those very often!

32:12 that continuous breathing God damn what a pro in his twenties

Fera brabíssima !!!

An artist can lose his audience if he 'over creates'; or has become too abstract, agreed. Knowing one's audience is OF paramount importance to a 'successful' performance.

CRAIG!

JAMES CARTER IS INFUCKINGTASIC!!!! YOU HEARD ME!!!!!

I hear a lot of history in his sound in places...Lockjaw among others. I still much prefer the other tenor player, not because of technique or ability, but because of his sound and his incredible ideas, it just felt more musical to me and less focused on speed and effects (although I’m sure he could have done those too). Branford Marsalis said in one of his masterclasses that any good student of music can develop good technique, music is not technique, it’s about what you give the audience. I did really enjoy the performance though!

Buenisimo::::::V🤩

First saw young Mr. Carter at Detroit Jazz Festival with Bird-Trane-Sco-Now when the saxophone was bigger than he was. "The 36 black notes, the 36 black notes" And Misters Shahid and Tabbal, the backbone of Griot Galaxy, laid back in the cut.

Queria saber quando o Brasil vai ter um público desse pra música instrumental nos eventos!!!! Show!!!

EL SAXOFONISTA POR EXCELENCIA DEL SIGLO XXI. UN GIGANTE. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TU MUSICA, JAMES, Y POR TU ENERGIA INCESANTE. ERES UNICO E IRREPETIBLE.

carter trust jazzman!

Ce type est un ovni , aucun doute !!!!!

Man you can hear the soul of coleman hawkins in his playing on body and soul!

Nice! Alto sax with a low "A" key!

Tá com o cranco não. Vai desmontar o sax alto kkkkkk Toca demais parabéns

Smooth jazz sucks and Mr. Carter blasts everyone away. "I'm very grateful to introduce our first guest today. He's been called the hottest new saxophonist on the jazz scene. Inspired by Miles Davis, Bud Powell, Jimi Hendrix, Parliament Funkadelic, even Saturday morning cartoons. His new album is hot, it's called Conversation With The Elders. Please help me welcome to the stage Atlantic Recording artist James Carter." 0:15

extraordinary concert, but the first composition is not JC On Set it is Don's Idea which is featured on the Carterian Fashion album

how does he do the huge pop at 30:01?

If we listen carefully at all he does and has done on his saxes. You can notice that just a few guys out there have the technique and the virtuosity he has. Someone liking his style, ways of playing or not thats another matter. This guy is just too much for some lol Peace!

That was hard to get through.

A question, also to Mr. Carter. Is this a low A key alto sax? Didn't also Ornette Coleman had one of these? How easy/difficult are these to find?

Almost my dream gig! And this guy's better than Michael Brecker was.

18:58 John Coltrane

12:25 - 25:00 sounds like it was inspired by Monk's Dream

McのJ・ヘン・・・おこがましい事、この上無し～このGigの何処に革新性在りや？？？？

Jazz is a science of individual expressiveness, and is a language understood and appreciated by only those who operate auditorially and receptively in that linguistically MUSIC environment. YOU will agree that most speakers of American English will find, let's say, Chinese boring.Too bad for them...what a loss!

Don't know why but it sounds like a Eb clarinet...

One of the top musicians of today and he doesn't have a stand for his horns? (just poking fun)

Quote at 19:35 ?

This man right here does know how to wear suits.

Unchained

дали джаза

Is this Music?

これは楽器本来の音じゃねー

James Carter, nada humilde e ego altíssimo, apagou o outro saxofonista.

В России любителей джаза почти не осталось( единицы). Остались только маргиналы,слушающие фриков типа Моргенштерн или Бузова.( К сожалению).

I love jazz and its sense of free, but I think his music is just obsessed with something new and peculiar. . somewhat painful to enjoy..

Themilesdavis OUNBNKHXX

Unfortunately Carter plays everything LOUD and his clarinet tone is really bad 😱😱 TRUTH !!!

good in sax,bad as a clarinetist

he's very immature and sounds boring with all the slap tonging and show off effects

He sure can play fast, but that just ain't musical !! He could also work on his tone too.

Man jazz is boring
