Kurt Rosenwinkel Quintet Joshua Redman Brad Mehldau Kurt Rosenwinkel Joshua Redman/France 2004

Kurt, one of the best contemporary guitarists today, made his debut at Berklee College of Music and the Gary Burton Group, just like Pat Metheny, and has since been active in Paul Motian and the Electric Bebop Band, and Brad Mehldau, whose chemistry with guitarists has been proven through his collaborations with Metheny, and Larry Grenadier, Joshua Redman, and Ali Jackson performed in France in 2004 on a high-quality soundboard. The performance on this day was broadcast on the radio, with two songs, “Brooklyn Sometimes” and “Cubism,” but this album also includes “Youth of Light,” which boldly features Mehldau’s piano, and “The Next Step,” for a total of four songs, making it a must-listen album that captures the stage of the same members on the same day in full detail over the course of about 60 minutes!
