😂🤣 👍🏻 same here ... hysterical laughter ... it seems to release the trapped energy of all the embarrassing music context moments that have accumulated actively and passively in a long musician's life
true jazz by masters way out ahead of the pack, no question. We won't be able to truly understand the harmonic complexity here until many years from now.
It's not just the fast, manic material that has an edge - slower, quieter numbers are mercurial, not just in how they shift melodies and chords, but how the voicing and phrasing never settles into a comfortable groove. This is music that demands attention, never taking predictable paths or easy choices. Its greatest triumph is that it masks this adventurousness within music that is warm and accessible - it just never acts that way. No matter how accessible this is, what's so utterly brilliant about it is that the group never brings it forth to the audience. They're playing for each other, pushing and prodding each other in an effort to discover new territory. As such, this crackles with vitality, sounding fresh decades after its release.
I've been searching online for nearly a decade for this tasty bootleg. Thanks to you scholars, I can finally show my jazz history students the missing link to the Miles Davis legacy.
My hat is off to the trumpet player who covered the Miles part. Everything he played matched up with the fingerings. Exquisite attention to detail there. I can’t speak for any other instrument being a trumpet player. But that was legitimately hilarious!
Hilarious! Loved the bass lick at 1:06. Could not stop laughing -- tears in the eyes, coughing, the whole bit. Thank you for 5 minutes and 53 seconds of gut busting chortles!
😂😂😂😂 I met Don Alias years ago, after Jaco’s Word Of Mouth concert, he was very nice. Mike Stern passed out and I helped carry him to a car Time flies… RIP
the guy with the giant *S* around his neck is the obvious bandleader. this is 5 minutes & 54 seconds of jazz heaven! someday, 1500 years in the future, somebody will figure out how to download this and they will realize that this New American Century was the very best of times. oh by the way; @3:40 is an excerpt from "The Good The Bad and The Ugly"
