Woodstock Jazz Festival - Impressions

jaikwillis Says:

Aug 23, 2008 - says much about the direction of modern jazz at the time when even the players can't recognize the changes of The Song Is You from the improvisation hehe Sonny Rollins could play that tune alone and you'd hear it. Killer version of Impressions tho.

Sep 20, 2008 - No Idea, I'd love to know though but he doesn't look anything like DeJohnette I'm sorry..

Sep 22, 2008 - For your information.. The gossip part- Anthony Braxton, Karl Berger, Chick Croea and Lee Konitz. The performing part- Braxton, Corea, Vitous, DeJohnette. This is the Woodstock Jazz Festival in Woodstock, New York. Recorded in 1981, was a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the creative music studio (CMS). Thanks for sharing!

Nov 5, 2008 - Actually, that's VERY much Jack DeJohnette!!Look at him at 5:25. Come on. You can't recognize him as Jack DeJohnette? On top of it all, can't you tell by the way he SOUNDS???????

thomasloyens Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - Hey I went to "CMS" in 1981...Good musicial vibes there..

Dec 2, 2008 - FAAAR OUT!! Braxton takes the sax out to its theoretical limits in one of jazz' truly great solos. And a fiery DeJohnette is right on his tail, with Corea and Vitous on his contrails. FAR OUT.

Jan 18, 2009 - what the fuck is that stupid shit chick plays at 3:03 and again at 4:16 ?? is he even listening to braxton? cmon chick this isn't spain or dianetics. chicks solo sucks too, no wonder braxton's half was viewd 17,000 times and the half with chick's solo only 2,444 views... (don't bash me, i'm a fan of chick, i just find this oddly bullshit) dejohnette sounds GREAT with that motherfucking fill at 5:12! his hihat is ridiculous too. i've also heard alot better from miroslav..

HK83IE Says:

Mar 24, 2009 - nothin wrong with chicks playing...

HK83IE Says:

Mar 24, 2009 - i have to say miroslavs playing pretty well too...

benj144 Says:

Mar 27, 2009 - Whats wrong with you! two Fckin chords through out the whole piece and chick does what he does best by Playin something a little more imaginative than chordtones and you have a shit about how he's not playing completely in! So what! it sounds good.. when you can play like any of them at woodstock then start slaggin what they do but for now.. shut the Fcuk up!

putabarata Says:

Mar 30, 2009 - that circle breathing is crazy, also Miroslav is one of the most scandalous motherfuckers to ever touch the upright!

kdfan Says:

Apr 28, 2009 - is that konitz that pays him a dime?

Jun 8, 2009 - i hear you brother... take a listen to the electric band shit... the obnoxious comping is taken to a whole new level.

Sep 10, 2009 - vitousssssssssssssss!!!!! NEC!!

johnmccool21 Says:

Sep 10, 2009 - as a pianist.... he is wonderful... but it is very hard to comp for far out shit like this... well, win some lose some... he still kicks ass... the bass, drums, and sax are evil though....

MeowMeowProphecy Says:

Sep 10, 2009 - comping for out stuff is VERY difficult. check out craig taborn. he is very good at that.

TheYendor73 Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - yes it is!

kdfan Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - I think lee mentions this in his book. he said braxton's heart is in the right place, but that he couldn't understand a thing he was singing.

ramaquar Says:

Nov 14, 2009 - Is that a little baby Tyondai Braxton at the beginning?!?! How cuute!
