Heartcore Records’ newest release “The Next Step (Live at Smalls 1996)” presents Kurt Rosenwinkel and his cadre of adept musical counterparts- tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, bassist Ben Street, percussionist Jeff Ballard and pianist Brad Mehldau (on “Zhivago”) ripping through a fiery set of six original compositions that would eventually form the framework of the seminal studio masterpiece.
An unearthed live recording from Heartcore Records captures the legendary Next Step ensemble performing with flourishing creativity and improvisational flow.

I remember walking into a local record store, back in 2000. A friend of mine (and touring jazz bassist) was walking out of the same store. He had just come back from being in NYC for some gigs. He asked me, "Have you heard of Kurt Rosenwinkel?" I had heard of him but wasn't familiar with his music (after all, these were the days before music streaming). He then said "I saw his group at Smalls in NYC. This guy is speaking a different language. Go inside and buy anything available by him!" I bought East Coast Love Affair and The Next Step. In a life constantly busy with teaching, rehearsing, and gigging, I rarely get a chance to just sit and listen to records from start to finish. I not only did that with each of those records; I have done that (with headphones no less) with everything Kurt has put out. What a visionary, who has forever changed jazz guitar and jazz composition. Like players as varied as Hendrix and Jaco, there is jazz guitar before Kurt Rosenwinkel, and, jazz guitar after him.
This.
The “next step” is the “kind of blue” of our generation
Kurt is the lighthouse in this ocean of music subculture…
Thank you Kurt for keeping music alive.
More music from one of the great jazz groups of all time 🥳
Kurt is a truly beautiful musician and human being
This song when the Next Step album was released changed jazz guitar world forever!
What an amazing band. I wish they made more records from that period. Brad’s solo is beyond beautiful..
The video gets me so nostalgic for times I didn’t even lived
I can't get over how great this recording sounds considering (I believe) it was recorded on the house system. Wonderful music from a great band!
What a Band! Great!
Music essential for the spirit
Yeah! Just ordered the CD!! This quartet is the best!
Legendary
Great version! I'm amazed that this song has existed for almost 30 years, having heard it for the first time on Our Secret World (2010?).
this song is amazing !!! thanx Kurt... and your playing is from another planet
This is incredible! And I love the video too!
Thank you :)))))

the guy with the blue flannel has some nice hands 😳
This tune has relations to "Dr.Zhivago" by Pasternak?
Where's Pete Koplan?
Sounds somewhat Coltrane-like to me. Can someone explain?
Probably because Mehldau's comping style is very McCoyish, also they share a similar intensity and energy over a strongly modal tune such as most of Coltrane's work
@@tomm_katz really makes sense! Thank you. I didn't associate his music with Coltranes but now sounds differently.
the comping is part, but I think it's more the reason that Coltrane loved this kind of fast 3/4 feel which merges into a 4/4. He did that a lot, and his drummer pioneered a specific way of crossing between those two rhythms during a fast 3/4 swing. Something that they're doing here overall, and the drummer is doing similar things too. So I think it's more that than the comping. Brad's comping or soloing isn't super McCoy's to be honest. If anything it sounds more Herbeish... or Meldauh-ish :D
