This Kurt Rosenwinkel Lesson is taking a look at a few phrases from his solo on Nefertiti off the Mark Turner "Ballad Session" album. Kurt has a very unique and strong sense of melody and I am focusing on one aspect of his playing in this video, highlighting melodies that have a large range and move across the barline.
Kurt Rosenwinkel is one of the most influential jazz musicians of the last 20 years. His impact on the scene both as a jazz guitarist and as a band leader/composer has been huge.

Kurt Rosenwinkel is worth checking out if one wants to learn to play post-bop -type of songs with irregular harmonies that are not connected to each other! I liked the never ending scale exercise too, to achieve more modern approach to jazz improvisation in addition to the added chromaticism and interval leaps. Although I've been playing for quite some time, there's always something new to learn. Your channel is a goldmine! Keep it up.

Got the opportunity to play on stage with Kurt when he came to perform as a guest artist at my college. He and our bass player played this crazy good rendition of reflections. What’s sad is Im not a guitar player and didn’t really know much about him before then, and I wish I did because he’s a very interesting soloist.

@JensLarsen 5 лет назад

For the second riff, just a note that A altered(or super locrian) is the same thing as Bb melodic minor (Bbmin/maj7), so the line really makes sense over either chords.

@Mrius86 5 лет назад

Kurt Rosenwinkel really has developed greatly from the start of his career to his current playing. From East Coast Love Affair and sounding like a generic modern jazz guitarist to epic and expansive improvisation like that found on Chords. Never learned much about post-Shorter era harmony in jazz, I must check out Nefertiti. I got some good ideas on trying to play better now. Thanks for this video, Jens. Cheers from Norway

@JensLarsen 5 лет назад

You're very welcome! I actually think that his lines on East Coast Love Affair are much the same as what he plays now? 🙂

@dogfacedboy6947 5 лет назад

I think I'll throw up here: that is, there's a sort-of bizarre lack of certain jazz albums available on CD's, but on EBay there's an Australian source listing these five-packs of albums. My fave was the Miles Davis 1980's bands, a criminally-neglected era IMO. I saw that band with Mike Stern AND John Scofield in Austin in 1983, one of those "We're a team, we're just playing for the song, La La La, meanwhile I'm a-gonna RIP YO FOOKIN HEAD OFF" - politely. To the point, another one is the five Wayne Shorter solo albums he kinda squeaked out while with Miles, like ALL the songs Shorter wrote back then. And the way HE wrote them, Mr. Davis had a habit of doing the shake'n'bake to every song he played.

@vikt1m1337 5 лет назад

I've been hearing a fair amount of pentatonics in Rosenwinkels playing. Could the first 5 notes, in the second bar of the first example be thought of as a major(b6)-pentatonic or is that too convoluted?

@JensLarsen 5 лет назад

I think you can hear a lot of pentatonics in Kurts playing, but they are more clearly major or minor pentatonic melodies. This would be over-analyzing (to me, but of course that is subjective)

Dear Jens - at point 2:20 you point out a wide register compressed within a short space which gives a striking quality to the line. I would say this is also a prominent feature of Tal Farlow's playing - there are many good examples of this on his recordings. We are spoilt for choice when it comes to listening to great players these days - and we are so fortunate be able to hear their work on You Tube. When I started 60 years ago I only had record player which could be set to 16 rpm in order to be able to capture fast passages. Nowadays, digital technology allows us to transcribe this stuff more easily. I would be interested to know what you use - Logic, Pro-Tools, Cubase or any other application. Your use of graphics, showing notation etc, is an added visual aid to understanding the principles you are explaining. Is there a video anywhere on You Tube that shows you playing on a gig anywhere ? If so, I would like to see and hear it, as it appears me that you are a very fine player.

@JensLarsen 4 года назад

Thanks Berne! There are lots of videos of me performing both on my channel and on the Traeben channel. I use the program Transcribe! when I transcribe solos. I can very much recommend it, super useful. It can slow things down too but the most useful feature is that you can really pin point the place you want to hear

@antonekholm5378 5 лет назад

Regarding Rosenwinkel, there is a Swedish guitarist named Per-Oscar Nilsson who sounds eerily similiar to Rosenwinkel. Perhaps not material for making a video on (since he is so similiar) but figured I would mention him if there would ever be a ''shortage of Rosenwinkel'' at some point in ones life.

Yes, our parents used to drive Kurt to his house for music lessons. I was in the car for many of those trips. He studied piano with Jimmy. I think that was in high school if I remember correctly. Before that Chris MacAlpine would come to our house in Mt Airy to teach us guitar.

@JazzGuitarScrapbook 5 лет назад

One thing I find very characteristic about Kurt that you didn't mention is his use of repeated notes especially in pentatonic lines. I think this is really characteristic - almost kind of naive sounding. I'm struggling to think of any other guitarist who does that kind of thing - possibly horn players, and Allan does some things with false fingerings in fast lines (the unison riff from Fred for instance) but not so much slower.

@JensLarsen 5 лет назад

I think Metheny does that as well? It's also in a McLaughlin solo I was analyzing, but with him I don't know if it is something he does all the time 🙂

@JazzGuitarScrapbook 5 лет назад

Actually McLaughlin I can hear doing that in my head right now.... It's funny I don't normally think of JM for some reason... Metheny, I'll have to listen out for that... I haven't checked out every interview has said but I always got the impression Kurt was more influenced by PM than JM, but probably he checked them both out. One influence I definitely hear, but haven't heard him mention as such is Jimmy Raney. KR's tone (disregarding the effects), technique and feel/rhythmic conception (including the laid back straight thing and heavy use of irregular groupings) really remind me of Raney, but he's never mentioned him to my knowledge - I know Raney was a big influence on Holdsworth, so maybe it's second hand. Anyway...maybe you know more?

@JensLarsen 5 лет назад

I don't know. But i don't really hear Raney in Kurts playing., mostly because I don't have that specific idea of Raneys playing. The main reason for not talking about the repeat notes is that there are no examples of it in this solo :) I really hear Metheny do that a lot, in exactly the same way.

@travelingman9763 5 лет назад

His perfect pitch enables him to memorize long lines from any source. He simply is very creative and hip to high information. The guitar is weak as compared to some really fast sax phrases that has more sonic capabilities. Im really not into competition between instruments. The guitar should be appreciated on its on terms Segovia, Charlie Christian,Wes and Albert King are some examples.So what one can play a zillion ways technically over chords,what is the story and own sound? Notice attitudes among those who profit off the Black created form Jazz but don't even study Black Histories to understand the culture despite this being the internet age. Example ,go to google and than to Bing Images . Search Black Beethoven, Black,Hawaiian Royal Family, Olmecs and President Dwight Eisenhower's parents. The point is Jazz is not European music only! Blacks had to assimilate and than create something superior to the status quo. Most than did not accept b.s and worked around it while maintaining dignity . Brecker told Alvin Queen, he wished he had been born Black. Ask Alvin if he told me that during a call from Switzerland! Good videos and I'm sure you may know much of what I've stated as truths! Fast Fingers and 'tricks" don't produce real music with soul.
