Love Mintzer’s bottom approach. He don’t yell his ideas like many other players.
Man, his tone is fantastic but his lyrical thoughtful improv is just as striking.
I like how this comment applies to both musicians equally
Bob is one of the truly great arrangers, composers and tenor players. A real genius.
I love hearing the counterpoint just between the two instruments alone. These guys are so good you don’t even miss the rest of the rhythm section. Amazing performance!
This is what I love most about jazz. Two guys who haven’t seen each other in years getting together and having a conversation. Just listening, reacting, and creating some truly beautiful music
The reason I'm all in on jazz saxophone. My whole life goes to it now. To the extent I need serious physiotherapy in order to practice as much as I'd like to. If my arms didn't stop me I'd go 8 hrs every day
The great Chuck Israels and Bob Mintzer...Chucks beautiful natural bass sound!!...reminds me of his playing on Bill Evans Moonbeams album in the sixties.
Perfection. Bob Mintzer never disappoints. Whether he plays alone or with a full orchestra..he is the saxophonists saxophone player. Always makes it sound and look easy. Bob Mintzer RULES!
Bob is a storyteller of no little degree; he is magnanimously captivating.
Bob is a genius! And a fantastic person!! Tullio
Great, tasty playing from two masters. With the spare instrumentation and clear recording, this is a gold mine for transcribing.
My thoughts exactly
This just made me wanna go and get myself a tenor and bury myself in bobs music. What a tasty mind

As he's talking, It's almost like Mintzer doesn't realize HE IS "some of the greatest jazz musicians, in the world..."
@337 337 He is, but the greatest jazz players always pay homage to the elders who preceded them.
When Bob mentions his mentors (70s and early 80s) in NYC that was like the tail end of an era. Hard to describe. I remember doing freelance gigs and quite often you’d be on the bandstand for the first and last time with a Sal Nestico, Johnny Carisi, Candido, Davey Schildlraut, Lyn Christie…….go home then realize holy crap that guy was heavy and never get to play with them again. I savor those memories. I remember one gig vividly a wedding clubdate where Davey asked me if I liked Brecker on a break. The next set he pulled out his Tenor and started play what he called ‘new school’ ideas. He played this solo that was completely different than his Alto bop dialect he was known for. It was off the charts great.
This is the very definition of cool. My son has played both of these greats.
The way we can connect through music is amazing !!
must confess to being completely unfamiliar with Mintzer, but I very much enjoyed this chamber jazz performance. Two superb musicians telling it like it is. Thank you for posting this!
Sometimes the CZcams algorithm nails it! Awesome clip, thank you!
MAGISTRAL ! ....
I think I still have those records from the 70s, the National Jazz Orchestra. Tom Ferguson, who directed the band at Arizona State when I was there, had us play some wonderful pieces written by you, Mr. Israels, such as the suite based on Stella by Starlight (Extracts I, I believe) how wonderful! Thank you both!!
Amazing. Thanks for posting this wonderful clip.
That was phenomenal!
Just wonderful
I love this! Thank you Bob Mintzer and Chuck Israels.
sooo beautiful sound....so nice...thnx...bob mintzer..the living legend.....

Awesome is an understatement!
Fantastic lesson by two greats.

That was so good omg
That was and that is and that will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great!
Great!!!!
nice, thanks!
you are such a great saxophonist
genios !!!!!
Aaaahhhh...yeah...
As well as being himself completely, Bob shows some of the Rollins inflections like outlining the lydian dominant as well as a few other Rollins licks
He even threw one from Dexter Gordon’s recording - good stuff…
La grande classe!
My best regards to Chuck whom I've met and worked under the direction the summer of 1979 in Orford Canada.
Herd recently mr.Israel on 1964 session w/Gary Burton (CD “Something Coming”)
. Blow my mind away. Thought it’s Ron Carter first . How wrong I was . My hat off .
💙💙💙💙
no better ambassador for a sax than bob! 1:29 to 1:35 look at the flexibility and nuance in the sound.
These guys still sound great! Chuck is in the pantheon of bassists who played with pianist Bill Evans.
Maaaaaasters.
Bene ○♡
Hey Mr. Mintzer, I saw a video from the 1970's & thought, "That guy looks like Collin Kapernick." I was wondering might you know a Willie Gillon, who also plays sax & clarinet, from Charlotte, NC? He was my 1st band teacher, 5th & 6th grade, & gave me private clarinet lessons when I was a high school junior & senior; worked out well as it got me principle chair Charlotte Youth Symphony & Western Regional Honors Orchestra. Non the less, I enjoy your music.
Why do you think Bob Mintzer would know your high school music teacher from Charlotte? Bob is from upstate New York. Dumb comment.
Another New World you’re dumb

Dat hum tho
I love how they agree on "Doxy" and just they start to play instantly.
Most rock musicians can only do that with the tune "Smoke on the water"
@Buster Friendly I was feeling funny, i agree with you. Doxy is a must, and if anyone starts to play the melody unaccompained, a true jazz musician knows how to join and follow up. I only found this performance here particularly fluent and masterful, no tempo indications, Chuck Israels only needs to hear one pickup eight note to beautifully start the first downbeat
Buster Friendly Every jazz musician has their special skill set, you can’t find many before Bob that could take a tune and play it in every key, they weren’t lesser jazz musicians. And remember for even a guy like Bob there are tunes he can do justice like guys before him. It’s about what you say with your instrument.
M T ,your kind of juvenile snobbery is why many people detest jazz. Don’t be such a judgemental asshole.
@M T Actually, you see music stands at jazz gigs all the time, because jazz players often play new arrangements of old tunes, or brand new tunes. When they play jazz "standards", like Sonny Rollins' Doxy, guys like Mintzer and Israels can just play it, but you would see these two guys with music stands at gigs also, when they aren't playing standards or have rearranged a standard.

The only one i knew from the jazz players at the beginning is michael brecker xDDD
Never heard of Art Farmer? You're not a jazz fan then. Junior Cook should be more well known but every jazz fan must be well versed in Horace Silver's music and the Blue Mitchell/Junior Cook band is probably his best in terms of their suitable to Silver's music. Get ur shit together!
2 people didnt practiced today...
or jealous
go to the doctor n take madicine..it will fix ur ear...
fuck u..
Shourov Sarker Go to school and take English. It will fix your grammar and spelling.
👍🇺🇸🇮🇱
Do you know what mouthpiece Mintzer is using?☺
I think Bob's representation of the time is better than Chuck's lol. Chuck is supposed to be the rhythm section. :P
What about Robert Anchipolovsky
I lost interest in the Bill Evans trio when Chuck Israels left. The abrupt change, from one of the most sensitive bassits to one of the least, remains a mystery.
Preface...Let me preface my comments by admitting I was moved to reply to your comment and wrote most of it on a misreading. I thought you said, you lost interest in Bill Evan's trio after Scott LaFaro was replaced by Israels. However after re-reading your statement and understanding I still feel the need to speak up.
My reply...
That's an incredibly shit thing to say but I wouldn't expect anything less from someone with a banner that says "Useful Music". You come off as a snob at the very least. I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume that you aren't a musician. If you are you should learn that opinions so dismissive are best kept veiled. It's one thing to not care for something or someone but to boldly publish on social media and not even sign your name is wrong. You actually put down two people...Bill Evans and I'm assuming, Eddie Gomez? I really don't expect to see such snobbery around truly "useful music".
I didn't ever lose interest in Bill Evans trios...They're all "useful" for my daily routine of paradise!!!!
Fabrizio Vincitorio I totally agree with you Fabrizio!
This is big HARAM
Ooh ooh the good old days, Ya aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwn zzzzzzzz
Not as good as Tubby Hayes.
As great as he is, I'm Really disappointed in Bob. Thought he was going to be the next Coltrane and show us many more innovations.. He didnt.
Became a school teacher as did Chuck.. But I guess its better to have a comfortable life,
a very disrespectful comment,indeed!
You know Duncan.. we're only get one Coltrane per century. Being a teacher isn't so bad a thing to do. I hear Bob loves teaching.
Sorry...we only get one Coltrane per century.
If we only had more teachers like Bob. Who will keep this music alive!
