Sometimes (a lot of ... ( 6 months ago by orientalnegro)

Sometimes (a lot of the time in my experience) you just can't win against outright ignorance.

Yeah, it leaps and ... ( 6 months ago by Milestonzz)

Yeah, it leaps and loops and makes huge, if not jarring harmonic interval changes but it's SMOKIN'!! I'm DIGGIN' it! It seems to me that the song is made for, and almost demands such motivic exploration. This is one of the hottest covers of 'Impressions' I've heard in quite a while. (I'm a jazz DJ in Washington DC) It shakes you and perks up your ears, like jazz is SUPPOSED to do; like it USED to do! (At least a lot more often than it does now) Maybe it's not to everyone's liking... nothing is.

I have his last ... ( 6 months ago by Milestonzz)

I have his last several recordings and saw him with Gary Burton a few weeks ago. From what I've heard, we're STILL in the 'before chick sucked' era.

Gould's jazz-themed ... ( 6 months ago by Milestonzz)

Gould's jazz-themed 'American Symphonette No.2, for orchestra' was composed in 1939. The melodic line of it's 2nd movement, "Pavane", is known to have often been quoted by a number of jazz musicians; a common improvisational device. Ravel's 'Pavane pour une infante defunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess), for piano (or orchestra), was composed in 1899 and bears no musical relationship to Gould's work. There is no credible evidence that Coltrane's "Impressions" was copied from either.

I am beginning to see that so clearly.

QUESTIONS FOR ALL ... ( 6 months ago by TV3020001)

QUESTIONS FOR ALL AB DETRACTORS: Did you know that Chick Corea is playing piano on this interpretation of Impressions? Did you recognize Jack DeJohnette? What about Miroslav Vitous? Do you think that Chick plays the chords he plays because he doesn't know how to play DM7? Why is it so hard to accept the fact that the differentness about this from what you are used to is a CONSCIOUS CHOICE on the part of MASTER IMPROVISERS?

In my experience, ... ( 5 months ago by HK83IE)

In my experience, you can't convert the doubters. When I played in college other student musicians playing Jazz could barely hang on, as it is, so when challenged with a new idea that required developing skills and theory, they rejected it out of hand. The same with many listeners.
I suggest fans just focus upon what you leave and ignore the negative. Braxton's dealt with this since '67!!! We're not going to change them NOW after 30 yrs!

WHAT tickles me is ... ( 5 months ago by HK83IE)

WHAT tickles me is 95 comments!!! (Positive or negative) Before the internet, fans were so alone. Now we get 90 posts up. Damn!

Thanks for that. I ... ( 5 months ago by TV3020001)

Thanks for that. I love all aspects of the Jazz Tradition. It's just hard to see this misinformation unaddressed. You are right though. We are pushing a rope here and for exactly the reason that you describe.

It's too bad we ... ( 5 months ago by padleynj)

It's too bad we couldn't hear the other solos on this recording!! i was not a fan of AB's playing, he is talented and i have just started to listen to him. in the past i thought he just went through the coltrane regime, which everyone was...

Isn't it great to ... ( 5 months ago by TV3020001)

Isn't it great to listen to an improviser who has the audacity to try to improvise outside of the Coltrane paradigm. I think that Chick's solo can be found on another version of this on YouTube.

Absolutely ... ( 4 months ago by monkeybooger147)

Absolutely fantastic performance, and just all around superb ensemble. Anthony's son, Tyondai, is also equally as talented.

Looks like this came around the time of Circle and early Weather Report, before Braxton's classic albums of the 70's - looks like Miroslav (friggin' monster), Chick, and the drummer (sounds like Roy Haynes - Jack DeJohnette?).
Great band, Braxton sounds pretty good - better yet, check out the Avant Bop tunes on Montreux-Berlin concerts 1976!

all i know is that this isnt a very good performance for him... Not up to par with many of the newer jazz guys.... If it wasnt for his band in the back than he would sound alot worst..... I know he knows alot.... but why didnt he use it in this performance
