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

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.

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...

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.

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

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!

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?

I am beginning to see that so clearly.
