I had the pleasure of doing sound for him at a club in NYC around 3 years ago. The show was packed!!! We lost a beautiful soul but I'm glad we get to see him here. R.I.P.
Amazing!!, I came to Milford through Albert A and a picture of him somewhere in America eatly 70’s giving a performance from a flatbed truck. Devastatingly great image!! ❤️🌫🙏🏻
I love how the head of the mallet came off when he was hitting the gongs and he was like “ah, fuck it” and creates an explosion of sound with the severed mallet and the cymbals
Milford Graves solo hubo uno solo. Uno de los bateristas más originales de la historia. El sonido de África, profundo, visceral, descarnado. Un maestro de la improvisación.
Everyone's comments here are funny & correct, powerful stuff! Thanks for sharing this rare footage and thanks for the personnel there 23skidoo down below
I'm killing myself laughing right now because this is the FIRST video of Milford Graves I've looked up and while I wouldn't be surprised that this is exactly what he was doing, I also can't tell if this is one of those dubbed vids to make them sound like shit and i am DYING. Does it sound like a kid could do it? yeah. Does it sound like anyone other than incredibly skilled musicians could do it twice? no.
Many Free Jazz musicians were undiagnosed cases of ADHD. Mama don't let your children grow up to play Free Jazz. I'd rather have a colonoscopy. Don't get me wrong. I believe in liberty and the pursuit of noise, just not in my head.
keith might be considered overrated to some, but the way he played is seemingly impossible to copy. bonham on the other hand was doing licks 50 years ago that every drummer still references today.
MILFORD GRAVES left us today February 12th, 2021
REST IN PEACE MILFORD GRAVES
Really? It IS getting lonely now.
He was super kind. Generous with his time. Respectful. Funny. Glad to have been his student.
One of the most magical 21 minutes of video on the internet

è l' anima dell' uomo contemporaneo ( impressionante ) non è solo Africa ,è universale .grazie from italia )
this is a special kind of free jazz
that's why Milford had to play with others i.e. John Zorn, Albert Ayler etc

Goregrind is like Händel compared to this shit

Fuck you
These guys need to take some chill pills :P (jk)
Nah this is beautiful
What a bizarre thing. 🤮
I can do that!
Try it! Then Post it.
Yeah buddy... Shure you do... We all do...............
overrated
Overrated would be John Bonham and Keith Moon,mediocre drummers at best and every boomer thinks they're drumming gods
