MILES DAVIS GROUP 1984 feat. Scofield, Berg, Jones, Foster, Irving, Thornton + Interview 

It's just people's thoughts and actions that make it difficult. Miles shows us the inner spiritual path of liberation from compulsive form and the thinking attached to it and then people find their own nodes in the brain and project them into the other person.

Yeah like decoy!!! Way diff but i like it

" ... scratchin' records and stuff .." I love him

I saw this band twice on concert in Paris, around '84 - 85'. Al Foster was known for putting his cymbals so high on stands

アル・フォスターのシンバルのセッティングは確かに特徴的ですよね。 僕はマイルスのバンドを日本で、85年、87年と2回観ましたが、本当に素晴らしかったです。 今だに脳裏に焼き付いていますよ。 Al foster 's cymbal setting is certainly characteristic, isn't it? I saw miles bands in Japan, 85, 87 and two times, it was really great. It's still burning in the back of the brain.

Al s a bad dude…and humble as they come

One of the luckiest Bass players on the planet. Miles, Steps Ahead, Sting, Scofields band/Albums and more, now the Stones!! Very glad for Darryl Jones, awesome Bassist!!

You how it is: Focus on the leader and the established names. Is it fair? Hell no. But that's the way it is.

Miles as An arranger and conceptionist of small groups knows no one of that magnitude. He Selected and utilized Irving III

In an obtuse manner which created a great orchestration palette. Miles constantly taught him that in this setting:”if you can he heard you are to loud”. Miles wanted him to be felt. Critics never understood this. Check how Miles heard BillEvans.

Ive had the honor of working with Robert Irving III on several occasions and he is a force of nature!

@@marcocosmic - Incredible! 👍 Would you happen to know if he gave private practical lessons during the 1980s? I spent endless hours in my youth fascinating over what it would be like to study with him.

Al left in disgust during the recording of "Human Nature." I don't know if that was it permenantly for him though.

don't recall where i read it, think it was in one of the Davis books, Al got bored with playing time, didn't exicte him, he had rejoined Davis when he came out of retirement, to again play in this style, as a favour, more or less. Miles loved Foster's time keeping, considered him the best, of all the drummers he'd worked with, up until Ricky came along - he loved his time feel too, wanted that Go-Go pluse for the band

what i'm going to say is complete hearsay but what someone said was AL Foster walked out or quit because Miles wanted Foster to play simpler with a stronger back beat and Foster was not interested in playing simple grooves . if this is really what occurred then i will say it was Miles band and his prerogative to mold the bands sound. Miles asked Vincent Wilburn Jr who was in the sound booth when Foster split to play the drums. Vince played a nice strong groove with a solid back beat on the snare drum 🥁.

Berg was PISSED…

Hahahaha ..bizarre tic he had in these later years

It looks like it is, but that's all I have ...

@@ZvonimirBucevicBuc I think that it should be an hour long.

@@monsterjazzlicks or more, I watched this band twice live , back in 1985 in Paris, France

I didn't hear anything stupid. It made perfect sense to me, I'm not stupid. Life is a mirror- you see what you want to. Or your mind is deaf because of preconceptions. Empty your mind and then listen to life.

you don' t really have to get used to.But when you have listened several times, you will find beautiful things in it, colors, space, sounds, everything you can find in nature too. You can be sure Miles loves Bach or Mozart too, but without Miles, we would miss half of the cosmos.

Get out your shell and hear something new. Life is all about finding new things. Band is pretty funky. Al Foster sounds great.

You don't hear the melodies that keep happening? What? Man, I just don't get people like you. You must be deaf with no body or heart to not "get" this. Jezus.

Do you play an instrument? If so, which instrument please

?

J' ai assisté au concert de Miles Davis au Théâtre Royal de Bruxelles cette même année 84. Nous y avons croisé des mélomanes qui étaient venus de Suède et du Danemark en voiture. C'est dire à quel point , tout un chacun voulait le voir en concert et étant donné qu'à l' époque les billets de concert s'achetaient sur place , il y avait intérêt à s'y prendre le plus tôt possible. Pour ce qui concerne le concert , vous avez raison de dire que Miles Davis était largué sur le plan instrumental. La vérité est qu'il était déjà malade et trainait son spleen de concert en concert comme souvent avec les artistes renommés. Avait - t- il vraiment le choix ? Je ne le pense pas vu la pression sur ses épaules de sa maison des disques et des mélomanes après des années loin de la scène pour des raisons de sevrage suite à son accoutumance à l' héroïne . Nous avions même appris ce fameux soir qu'il y avait toujours un médecin dans son staff au cas où. Je ne regrette rien de ce fameux jour béni parce que le groupe était extraordinaire et nous avons découvert des jeunes musiciens qui font une brillante carrière encore aujourd'hui comme John Scoffield , Marcus Miller , Berg , etc... Pour conclure , je dirai que dans le cas de Miles , il ne s'agit pas de popularité puisque cela ne l'a jamais intéressé mais plutôt d'un malade que le système du Show - business avait décidé de remettre sur le devant de la scène. Vous constaterez d'ailleurs que tous les albums studio de cette époque sont excellents et ce sans contestation d'aucun expert de jazz.

Lorsqu'on ne comprend rien au modern jazz, c'est normal qu'on ne comprenne rien en Miles Davis qui s'avère être de nos jours le plus grand musicien du 20eme siècle et qui vient de remporter, à titre posthume,cette distinction ! Fermons la donc et courrons vers un conservatoire de musique pour apprendre d'avantage ou on se tait et on meurt avec nos tares !!

🤦‍♂️Was für ein Scheiss Komentar. Miles war ein absoluter Chef

Un peu lourd comme commentaire !!

I agree with you ,and he was an arrogant asshole

ブー！

One thing is technique the other thing is spirit. Some are more impressed by acrobatics and some like the colors between the played tones and there is the point of higher understanding what music really is. And everybody is trying to give his very best on its way.
