The hardest tune for Miles ever to get right... so he said.. Asked Monk in 50s after every gig - Did I play it right ? ... No, you didnt... Then, once ;) - You did.. This is great.
@@anandapandya1 To be honest, I think the same.. Sometimes I love him, if just for a single slurred note.. you see? But overall, playing anything, he never had the genius of Parker (if you subtract his old school vibrato etc) .. so yes, Miles couldnt get a lot of things right
@@RorertoLombardo There is no absolute perfection in jazz.. there´s a feel, and that was different - when Miles played Monk, it wasnt his mindset ever..
Thanks so much for this! I remember hearing Miles Davis live, first time, much later than this. And to be in that room with his sound was magic. Same with Mr Shorter, Mr Hancock. You say to yourself, these fellows really exist in our time and space. Remarkable, because to me , before, they were just magic sound and imagination preserved on recordings.
So much latent talent on one stage..., & youthful too! Herbie must have been all of 24yrs old..., & look at Tony! Maybe 17-18 yrs old..., and their musicianship was sounding mature at such young ages! RIP Wayne Shorter...,
I’m seeing Herbie in august….. can’t wait! It’s been 12 years since I had to my mind the best musical experience of a lifetime…. My son was a kid 7ish…. This year he’s asked to come with me…. He’s 18 now it’s going to be magic to show him the master of the magic music that blows dad’s mind!
@@shaneoconnor5319 I had tickets to see him in London in about 1993, but he was ill that night and it was cancelled - he was with the Headhunters and doing whole Headhunters album on that tour 😭
Wow never seen this film of them soing it heard them do it many times the levels of concentration and traing for this level of intenaity is just awesome this is advanced music phenomenal group interplay i kept losing it and then pixked it up only to lose it again wow unbelievable that in 2023 this music is srill cutting edge most so called jazz musicians and singers still trying to sound like the 1959 60 kind of Blue modal period and then only playing the head with short improv time these guys follow and weave allways exploring simply eye opening
So many of the players from this time are go e. Tha k you RU-vid for prezerving this masterpiece Amazingly Ron Carter, John McLaughlin, y Rich , Bly. BILLY RICH, Bly BLILLY COBHAM, stillgoing, RIP Pharoh Sanders. Promises ( by Pharoh, Floating Points & Theondon Symphony Orch. Is a beautiful acheivment.
Why did Miles look at you like that in the end on that second chord. What was wrong with it? It sounded good to me. Was there a note in it that he didn't like?
I think it was Mr. Hancock who once remarked "I hit the wrong chord, and Miles came in an with what he played made it work." That's just how Miles was, you might think he was angry or even rude but he was just listening intently and thinking.
He is turning towards Ron and Tony I think, calling the start of the next song.. the video ends abruptly because they immediately launch into it. Dunno if Herbie's spicy chords had anything to do with the sudden termination of Miles' cadenza. Maybe. It's nice not having the mood shattering applause between songs.
@@frankherrmann965 there's no question about how great musician he was,, but if you're as fan of him as you say,,you're probably read his autobiography,, written with Quincy Troupe, an amazing book,[ highly recommended] , where's he explain the reason of his bad mood, and his life as an icon of modern jazz. Bye,,
