Kenny join my band when he was 8yrs old. Gifted, Kenny wowed everybody then. At age 8yrs old Kenny was writing his own music. I must say Kenny was, and still is very down to earth. Keep doing what you love Kenny.
I agree! Google REFUSES to let me share the link, but check out "Pat Metheny & Friends - This Masquerade." The genius performance of the masterful musicians (P. Metheny, M. Brecker, N. Landgren) will blow your mind!
Kenny writes amazing tunes that are unique and original, yet with great swing and live playing, a creative visionary that bridges an old school melodic approach of the jazz greats and new fresh harmonic style that audiences love and appreciate it.
Dave Brubeck famously said that he considered the audience to be the "5th" member of the DBQ, pointing out that how they act, react, and even the potential for participation would determine to some extent how inspired the playing of the group would be that night. Boy, was Dave proven right here. Also got a kick out of the duet between Kenny and Brian -- reminded me the epic John Coltrane/Elvin Jones double solo on the Half Note version of "One Up, One Down".
I wasn't familiar with that quote, but I can surely hear Kenny Garrett improvise with the croud, a shout here and there, and respond to it. Magnificent interplay, great musicians.
The actual quote (I paraphrased what Brubeck said) can be found in the liner notes to the "25th Anniversary Concert" album, which also contains notes from Paul Desmond (his are by far the most hilarious), a brief statement from Joe Morello, and some thoughts from Senator Eugene Wright (that's how Mr. Wright signed it). Mr. Brubeck also mentions in his notes (briefly) the role that music in general (and jazz in particular) has played in human society.
What a pleasure ! I saw this line-up on a concert in 1996, far away from home - in Montreal on the Montreal-Jazz-Festival. I can even remember the public singing during that song (8th minute). Hmmm, makes me think of the old days ;-) Wonderful summer in a wonderful city, wonderful concert ! Thx for posting !
matt knowles Good question! It definitely looks like Charnett. I've only seen a couple of clips of him, though, and this video's about 20 years old. Looks a lot like Nat Reeves, too. Both of 'em played with Kenny at various times. Looks like Brian Blade on drums?

It's good to hear Pat Metheny play outside of his own unit , he sounds awesome!

3:12 = Pat quoting Bird's 'Ornithology'.
Is It 'So what' right after that ?

Brian Blade is the shit.
This is a great tune off KG's 1997 album 'Song Book' - a great CD as well.
Two of my most favorite jazz artists of all time - great to see them together Thanks for uploading
Pat is Music for the next 1000 years and other
This has become my family's go-to spirit-lifter. I share it with everyone I can. Otherworldly. Thank you for sharing it.

JESUS WOW THIS IS PHENOMENAL
I really enjoy this song . nice jazz Detroit festival 2015
Kenny Garrett his sound is so unique and beautiful
This will never get old... LOVE IT!
lovely
Yes It is! (:
I had a chance to meet KG years ago at the Murfreesboro Jazz Festival. What an incredible cat and musician.
何よりも中東を思わせる曲とベースラインがいい。パットのアドリブも冴えている。ケニーの聴衆を巻き込んだライブ感溢れるソロも好印象。
I love Metheny's compositions. He could really write a smooth soundtrack.
Pat is a great composer but I think this is Kenny's Tune :)
That's truly magnificent. Thanks for uploading it!
Enjoy it the Max! (:
kenny.... he doesnt get into a "zone" it's more like a "plane"... and "astral plane" when he plays...
Like an astral travelling ?

I saw Kenny at the blue note in New York in April and everyone was singing along to this tune
Incredible performance!!
Thanks for sharing! Kenny's best song to me.
Outrageously beautiful.
Truly magical
Admirado Kenny.... eres magnífico.
Nothing better to me
Ornithology quote!!!!! Damn! I guess I'm getting there.
Pat murdered that solo! 🔥🔥🔥
Yes he did!!! A masterful performance!!! 👏
Still inspiring after 13 years of listening
Meraviglia!!!
Nice.
Невероятные...

11:18 I think my tea water is ready
wow
Brian Blade. KG and BB, then Pat joins. Now that felt good. Reminds of something from BB’s pen…
With all Pleasure!
P.S : Mine Same!
Leave it to Kenny to quote Old McDonald Had A Farm at the end of a bangin solo 10:11
that was wild
I am wondering what brand mouthpiece Kenny Garrett is using and what the tipopening is
Steven Roosblad it's a vintage Selmer Soloist and it's super open, apparently around .96
😀🎶🥀💚
is this Brian on the drums?

Who's playing Bass? Is that Charnett Moffett

matt knowles I think that's Rodney Whitaker
+matt knowles It's Nat Reeves! My bass instructor at the Hartt School of Music
Motor city Sommer sunset
For some dumb reason I can hear a human beat box like Dougie adding to this.
Can somebody please tell the names of all the bandmembers?
Kenny Garrett-alto saxophone
Pat Metheny-guitar
Nat Reeves-bass
Brian Blades-drums
Why was this recorded with a potato..
Bram Groeneveld that's what they used back In the day.
Great music interaction fantastic!!!!!
Obvious one of the great of Alto sax player in the world! Sound just like when we practice together in Detroit !!!!!
3:15 'So what' ?
ornithology
Great solo by Metheny but he's as not spiritual as Kenny Garrett.
KG is a vulcano that spits out spiritual and soulful notes.
Armando Pace and Pat is a river, flowing with continual, original thought, melody and spirit.
Not as spiritual ? Can't agree, it's a different way of expression, and not a less interesting one.
Yea, I've seen him live about six times. He does crazier solos than that, he will do Coltrane like 10 min solo
Armando Pace simply different, it is not being not spiritual.
