They are both amazingly talented players. Thank god for different styles. How boring would it be if everyone played exactly the same. The contrast of styles is what makes this sooooo good! Bravo!
They were both speaking in tongues! I gotta call it a draw. Carter got off the more impressive riffs (making me want to throw my sax into the sewer), but I thought that Redman said more in his solos (making me want to throw myself into the sewer).
If anyone is wondering why the trumpet section is so mental, 4 of the 5 in the section are lead players. Jon Faddis, Byron Stripling, Greg Gisbert and Earl Gardner. Overkill?
True art comes from honesty. Playing that comes from who YOU are. Both these men do. There is no contest. It's just art man...just appreciate each for what they are doing and who they are.
I've watched this so many times that I've lost count... the thing that amazes me the most is how flawlessly Carter and Redman work together, building off of one another, trading the spotlight. They're the crème of the crop on their own but together... something really special happens. I don't think I've ever seen two musicians, or people in general, work that well together.
Redman, you are my idol, but Mr. Carter, you are beyond incredible. The battle was VERY close, ... I can't believe I am writing this... James Carter has the edge on this one. REMATCH!!!! I demand it!!!!! Josepbetoret, thanks for this post!!
well..@ 3 years I was a sponge, open to everything, and i still am. I've been improvising and writing music for about 9 years, playing music for 12. all i can say is, really get to know who you are, what you like, what you really want to play, and don't let the schools steer you away from YOU. i went to "jazz" school and it put me in a dark place where I was constantly judging myself and trying to sound like everyone else. create your own music, be creative, push boundaries, break the rules
Good playing! Carter was meant to be the next "Great" in jazz some years back. His technique, range, knowledge of the tradition, and multi-instrumental mastery were unmatched. Good to see Redman step out of the soporific confines of MOR jazz and show that he is his father's son.
i had the blessing of seeing george adams and pharoah sanders...they really played the music from their souls, deep in their souls. it's something that i always am inspired by and am humbled by their ability to express so beautifully...i also saw yusef lateef...the most humble person you could ever meet.
My all time inspiration video from my absolute MOST favorite sax GOAT's of this generation. Both has always reminded me why I love to simply play and be creative!
Lordy, lordy, James is 40. Happy Birthday today James. I hope it's a good one. I hope you can come to South Carolina and perform someday. Again, Happy Birthday.
I like a lot this video!!! What a body has the sound of James Carter, it blows away Joshua Redman!!! Incredible!!! I never see Carter plays like this.....I feel more american the sound of Carter, I don´t know if he uses here an american horn but it seems to do it....
i loved preforming at that venue it was amazing to see how many ppl just watched so closely to just you and you feel like your life is finally complete it truley was amazing and seeing videos takes me back to it i love it
this duo is the shit... they can swing with the best of them... proud to say I've seen them both perform... wish I had seen them together... thanks for posting!
I like Redman's approach more, but I like Carter's tone more. To me its more unique, bigger, gutsier, and a tid bit crazy haha. Gotta love the projection and guts of that Conn he's playin.
at first James was stealin the show because he came out with heat and Josh was just goin through the motions... then he started havin fun goin back and forth. That was effin amazing!!!
to me, the power in jazz comes from breaking the rules and keeping w the times. bebop was based on popular swing music from the 50's. it was a new "language", it was innovative & still in touch w what people were listening to. Same reason Miles and Trane made such an impact. they took music to the next frontier while keeping in touch w changes in society. today, in the "academic jazz" world, they want us to keep everything traditional and swinging, but they wonder why no one buys jazz records.
These guys are both fantastic saxophone players and their styles are so different, their sounds are so different. I don't think it's healthy for people to get so worked up over who's solo was better and start insulting the other player for no reason or just insulting them both. It can't be healthy to sit in front of a computer screen and type abuse at people for no reason whatsoever
Yeah i mean I just started immersing myself in jazz 3 years ago but I have been playing music for the past 13 years and I'm only a senior in high school. I have a lot to learn ! I agree with what you say about the improve though. From what I've learned though true great improve is hard to do. I personally enjoy just thinking of things on the spot and playing what I'm feeling, but it doesn't hurt to have ideas ready to use like them. Thats also improve, just figured out before the gig.
When was this performance? Late 90's I'm guessing. Was fortunate to see both these guys back then several times, wow. Both techniques are freakish. Carter walked out and joined Sonny Rollins on stage at Severance Hall, Cleveland early 1996 for a couple times. An awesome contrast and concert!
Los dos son extraordinarios más veneno tiene carter pero jusua también tiene lo suyo total total los dos son buenísimos lo digo con criterio de saxofonista 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👉❤️🎷@EricVisAtman
Both sound awesome. I've yet to experience Carter (only because I haven't bought any of his stuff), but I'm a huge Redman fan. I think I just became a Carter fan as well.
James Carter is the "Wild Man in Saxophone". He really gave all his best :) Thumbs up for James ! I hope James and Arturo Sandoval would play together. I'm sure it's a long showdown.
I realize this isn't exactly a duel to prove the talent of one musician or another, but James Carter clearly overshadows Joshua Redman in this video. Carter makes it look so effortless. Redman is an outstanding saxophone player, but Carter is just so perfectly fluid. I've never heard a tenor player that can hit such amazingly high octave slurs and drop right down into a low C/Bb without even flinching. Incredible.

6:18 Redman preaching a nice sermon, Carter out there speaking in tongues
Instrument Attic 😂😂😂😂
well said!
the best comment ever hahaha perfect!
Great analysis!

I think it sounds awesome
So just trumpet players. They have to be heard…🙄
Come on guys, can't we leave the judgments aside and just see two amazing musicians (they are) having a hell of a time?
The contrast,man.The contrast betweeen the two of them is just outta this world.
True art comes from honesty. Playing that comes from who YOU are. Both these men do. There is no contest. It's just art man...just appreciate each for what they are doing and who they are.

Das ist einfach nicht mehr zu toppen. Es ist einfach das beste! Mehr geht nicht. Wirklich nicht. Was soll noch kommen oder passieren ?!?
Again and again
J. Redman is just killing and freak n amazing.
So natural,smooth ,cool,he is just a legend player!!
No doubt...
Anyone trained in music can appreciate what these two are doing.
Redman, you are my idol, but Mr. Carter, you are beyond incredible. The battle was VERY close, ... I can't believe I am writing this... James Carter has the edge on this one. REMATCH!!!! I demand it!!!!! Josepbetoret, thanks for this post!!

6:29
Redman: Let's play some jazz!
Carter: Nah, Ima walrus!!
Good playing! Carter was meant to be the next "Great" in jazz some years back. His technique, range, knowledge of the tradition, and multi-instrumental mastery were unmatched. Good to see Redman step out of the soporific confines of MOR jazz and show that he is his father's son.
Joshua Redman is technique & mastery is also unmatched here. They both are superb saxophonist in their own right.
Excellent performances from two of my favourite current saxophonists.

Amazing!!!! I love them both but Josh Redman is so smooth. I just love it!
41 persons haven't got idea of the saxo.
This guys are amazing.
It's a very good video thanks to publicate.
My all time inspiration video from my absolute MOST favorite sax GOAT's of this generation. Both has always reminded me why I love to simply play and be creative!
el final es un duelo titanico... ambos increibles saxofonistas!!!! jame electrico como un rayo... joshua agua templada cayendo por una vertiente ....
Lordy, lordy, James is 40. Happy Birthday today James. I hope it's a good one. I hope you can come to South Carolina and perform someday. Again, Happy Birthday.
Oh my God. Just the contrast of the raw, aggressive style of James Carter to the beautiful lines and phrasing of Joshua Redman just... I quit.
+Allen Yu And I quit with you bro.
Nah, it's playing like that that keeps me going; lets me know that stagnation is a matter of habits and/or choice. Bring it on!
C Davis i dont even get the joke
Allen Yu f
Both Amazing Saxophonist James and Joshua I so much enjoy to listen
If I could only play like one...........it would be James Carter in practice, and Joshua Redman in concert. Both absolutely amazing.
These guys both tear it up. Completely different styles and both masters in their own right. This video is just unbelievable.
And that my friends it's pure madness! I'm shure those saxophones can sleep well after that work
Killin' it! Love the way they traded licks and came out smokin' at the end.
Tanto o Joshua quanto o Carter,
são influências indiscutíveis,
muito bom o vídeo !
WOW fantastic! nothing like retro jazz... all real sound!
That cadenza split my head wide open.
Beautifuly Amazing! Wow! Redman Highly Simple, Carter Highly classy! More than a gift... A Blessing!
Damn good, man! You can feel the intensity.
What a fantastic BAND backin that HUGE talent upfroni!!!
7 and a half minutes of pure epic win.
Man that walking bass tho !! That’s the glue to everything
I'm gonna cry that was amazing.
I like a lot this video!!! What a body has the sound of James Carter, it blows away Joshua Redman!!! Incredible!!! I never see Carter plays like this.....I feel more american the sound of Carter, I don´t know if he uses here an american horn but it seems to do it....
A taste of the future. I know both of them have been around a while, but but still, recognize!
Truly two of my favorite saxophonists... together!
What a high killing pitch note both J & J! Plus great big band!
Greeting from Jazz man, Kuala Lumpur.
i loved preforming at that venue it was amazing to see how many ppl just watched so closely to just you and you feel like your life is finally complete it truley was amazing and seeing videos takes me back to it i love it
this duo is the shit... they can swing with the best of them... proud to say I've seen them both perform... wish I had seen them together... thanks for posting!
Awesome to see the drastically different styles between the two players! Thanks!
I like Redman's approach more, but I like Carter's tone more. To me its more unique, bigger, gutsier, and a tid bit crazy haha. Gotta love the projection and guts of that Conn he's playin.
I can't even come close to wrapping my head around how amazing this is...
at first James was stealin the show because he came out with heat and Josh was just goin through the motions... then he started havin fun goin back and forth. That was effin amazing!!!
Truer words were never spoken.
Joshua Redman all the way 🎷
they are both spewing greatness though those horns. climactic ending.
Absolutely raw....Love it.
Is nobody going to mention that at 2:20 it shows Carter playing during Redman's solo. Interesting editing
I actually saw that and rewinded it twice just to make sure lol
It's always fun to see two jazz titans clash
unbelieveble just amazing duello....Joshua gets sublime at the end....
sweet man....such awesome tones both!
You must like this comment if the entire video you were thinking, "I need to go practice, after I'm done wiping the drool from my face."
Love you guys, Outstanding performance 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Ah. the classic tenor battle. and i can't think of two more talented people for the job nowadays.
Le Doy gracias a Dios por darme oportunidad de ver este video... es sorprente... muchas gracias por ponerlo en youtube
Bonito documento, dos estilos diferentes pero compatibles...
There is no winner, just preferences. It's music.
You'll make the realization when you are older and more experienced.
Awesome performance!
Eles são demais, se completam, se superam. Wonderful! Gracias!
These guys are both fantastic saxophone players and their styles are so different, their sounds are so different.

Two of the best.

They both are great. But James Carter is swinging. He sounds so sweet. Great video
Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏🇪🇸
Music at its best!!!
Redman gets my vote.
Love both.. carter is more off the hinges.. I like the craziness of it. fluent craziness. brilliant.
This was great!!!!!
OMG!!! I Love the last part!!!!
Joshua Redman 'AND' James Carter Live At Carnegie Hall no battle here just 2 great musicians..........move along!
BOTH STELLAR MONSTERS, AWESOMEEEEEEE, NO ONES BETTER THAN THE OTHER, BOTH DIFFERENT, BOTH SAX GIANTS
Chills down my spine. Amazing!
Probably the two best modern players.
Simplemente Maravilloso. Que no daría por tener el privilegio de escuchar en directo a estos dos grandes artistas.
James carter always giving me chills
el ultimo minuto es arte puro. Quien haya tenido la suerte de ver en directo a estos dos monstruos en un duelo face to face, ya no puede pedir mas.
it doesnt matter whos better, cuz both are FREAKIN damn good
Redman is playing for his life!
World class performers. A pleasure.
James Carter é mt bom! ele é o cara
While both are absolutely amazing, Detroit was in the house!!
When was this performance? Late 90's I'm guessing. Was fortunate to see both these guys back then several times, wow. Both techniques are freakish. Carter walked out and joined Sonny Rollins on stage at Severance Hall, Cleveland early 1996 for a couple times. An awesome contrast and concert!
both are great!
Los dos son extraordinarios más veneno tiene carter pero jusua también tiene lo suyo total total los dos son buenísimos lo digo con criterio de saxofonista 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👉❤️🎷@EricVisAtman
I like the end where they just both go crazy... i think it gives it that extra something! Absolutely Amazing!
I love that at around 5:30 the trumpet in the band gets disgusted and starts wailing over the soloists.
Both sound awesome. I've yet to experience Carter (only because I haven't bought any of his stuff), but I'm a huge Redman fan. I think I just became a Carter fan as well.
WOW! I choose both.
James Carter is the "Wild Man in Saxophone". He really gave all his best :) Thumbs up for James ! I hope James and Arturo Sandoval would play together. I'm sure it's a long showdown.
Very good! both very touching ....
I will leave the country and I play there a bit of sax! rsrsrsrs
os dois tocam muito!! só faltou eu!
Carter is the epitomy of great improvisation, highest caliber of playing and unrival emotional content.
Wonderful !
What beasts, those guys are ridiculous
I realize this isn't exactly a duel to prove the talent of one musician or another, but James Carter clearly overshadows Joshua Redman in this video. Carter makes it look so effortless. Redman is an outstanding saxophone player, but Carter is just so perfectly fluid. I've never heard a tenor player that can hit such amazingly high octave slurs and drop right down into a low C/Bb without even flinching. Incredible.
That's a whole ĺot of stupid shit!!! Both of those cats have a lot of respect for each other. Can you play motherfucker? Then shut the fuck up!!!!
Great solis ,both was great
Who want another round between these two ?
