Kurt Rosenwinkel & The New Generation - Minor Blues 

Oh damn, so Kurt bought that guitar at Rudy’s? Was wondering if he owned or just borrowed it from someone for this gig. His tone sounds incredible on it, so hoping to hear more from him with this axe.

​@@shalominthehome92yeah, his pedal setup is really phenomenal.

Rudy’s, immortalized in Steely Dan’s “Black Cow”

I agree with you man. Nice tone but it just doesn’t look right. What’s next, a Strat or SG? 😂. I’d like to think there’s some story behind it. Like he was out walking the dog and gate crashed a band’s rehearsal.

he sounds pretty good with it too!

Yes, he's using it as Les Paul intended. I'm pleased he's not using half a truck load of pedals and allowing the instrument to sound through. I'd like to hear him turn the gain up a bit and play a bit with the tone breaking up slightly though. A performance to make me smile.🙂

I prefer it. The tone is much better IMO.

he used to get a great wailing ebony board sound out of his 355, and this one's right there

Although the LP and the Yamaha SG are quite similar in terms of design and sound.

Yeah and new hat too.

I noticed he was also using one of the new AXE units. He may have had a few pedals on the floor too but I think the majority of his effects came from the modeller.

I only found out about Kurt a few days & thought I'd give "The Next Step" a listen first. It absolutely knocked my socks off & I've lapping his stuff up since, and what a great performance this is. To a man, the musicians are just crackin.

My dude talking like the 2000's kurt band with Mark Turner, Ben Street and Jeff Ballard isn't one of the best things that happened in jazz history... The players in the video are very good obviously but I'm not sure that Kurt is searching for a precise personnel. I think he is exploring the possibilities musicians can offer and having pleasure meeting young new people and new ideas, that's what his many albums tell us. Because if he wanted the "perfect" jazz band, he could have continued with the quartet. Tbh I'm a fan of longtime bands like Keith Jarret trio but I am so happy to hear musicians I love exploring paths I wouldn't imagine...

Cornbread and milk?

Yeah---- cornbread and milk.

Insane solo

I think the Gibson Les Paul Custom suits Kurt a lot ......

He’s burning 🔥 sounds so good

Exactly 👍

that drum solo was insane

he's an absolute beast and he's only a freshman in college!!

Check out Immanuel Wilkins if you haven't already

@@theotheranswer man just let Aidan have his moment! He's like 19 and playing with this band, that's incredible, just appreciate that without having to point out that you think someone else is "better"

@@coledavismusic I agree that Aidan is an amazing player! you can see a video of him playing with me and his new perspective trio(touring right now by the way) on my youtube channel. But you can not stress enough how much Immanuel has done for the music! He is at the forefront of his generation and two or three generations past as far as im concerned. Spend less time in the comment section and more time listening to albums!

@@Kahlil314 yes, that is obviously true - I actually don’t know anyone in the NYC jazz scene (where I am based) who would disagree with your statement. I am a fan of his music as well. My point was just that it’s unnecessary to take away from someone’s accomplishments by pointing out another player’s success. And your “spend less time in the comment section and more time listening to albums” comment was COMPLETELY unnecessary - I’m a professional musician, I’ve listened to way more albums than I have left RU-vid comments.

Crazy how Whitfield Jr. is using some heavier pro marks yet his sound is still so smooth and light

@Chris Cook he's burning 🔥!
