Kurt Rosenwinkel - Zhivago

Kurt Rosenwinkel (gtr) playing live ~2000-01 with Mark Turner (sax), Ben Street (bass) and Jeff Ballard (drums). Rosenwinkel is one of my favorite contemporary jazz recording artists and I'm always eager to hear his new material. He began making forays into electronic jazz with 2003's Heartcore but returned to a more traditional instrumentation with his latest album, Deep Song (2005). Kurt Rosenwinkel is seemingly always open to experimentation, however, as his recent collaboration with Q-Tip (A Tribe Called Quest) evinces. Check out this great song from my favorite album of his, The Next Step (2001).

 

Rhythm Changes Piano Solo

Jazz piano solo on rhythm changes. Performed using Native Instruments' Akoustik Piano playing along to a backing track by Jamey Aebersold. The solo was slightly sped up (~15%) after it was recorded, giving the tune more of a bebop feel.
