major rosenwinkel fan din ako.. the baddest guitar player for me to come out of the jazz scene since metheny
almost all his albums and collaborations are mind blowing
east coast love affair- my favorite guitar trio album, reminds me of some jarrett/dejohnette/peacock albums ( incidentally he lists jarrett as one as of his major influences
intuit - played the best versions of some well known bop/standard tunes.. shows that he can swing with the best of them when he wants to
the next step - arguably the most revolutionary album in jazz guitar, after that almost all most guitar players esp in NY tried to copy his sound. He can really play the piano as any seasoned NY jazz player too.. check out the title track, the next step
deep song - this album has a lot of tricky changes especially the tune synthetics. Notice the difference when he played over it in deep song as opposed to version he did in the enemies of energy album
and of course, his collabs with mark turner, joshua redman, brad mehldau, seamus blake and chris potter are some of the finest representations of modern jazz
cant wait for the new kurt rosenwinkel village vanguard live album
