Best jazz combo ever! If someone has a list of all of this groups recordings, either live or on cd I would be very grateful. Kenny Kirkland is unbelievable
OK, men, we're doing giant steps at 260 bpm, after a short latin rest-stop following our opening 11/10-for-intensity pentatonic workout... Here, Kenny G achieves his 'trane-ing session-goals by his incredible bravery and wise selection of unbelievably talented sidemen.... wow what a band...
I saw Kenny live when Branford brought his quartet to the Sun Dome here in Clearwater, FL. I'm so glad I got to sees him at least once. A rare talent... R.I.P.
If we didn't know Coltrane we would say: This is the most sublime music there is. But we know Coltrane, and I wonder what the aesthetic interest is in being so stuck to his universe? In my opinion Garret and Brandford Marsalis have locked themselves in the grandiose and sublimated shadow of Trane. And I find more originality in a Brecker or a Chris Potter. Garret's solos are what he does best. In this way (perfect solos) he resembles Bob Berg. It also has a very personal sound. But this is not enough to create a universe. In short, after Coltrane, the most brilliant is Wayne Shorter. So there. End of the story.
