I saw and experienced this great group of musicians in person in the 60s in Philadelphia at the Showboat jazz bar which I went to almost weekly. Everything about Miles performance was not business as usual, including the size of the audience. The Showboat was in the basement level of it’s building. It started with his entrance as he descended the stairs. Suddenly there was total silence with every eye in the crowd focused on Miles. He was impeccably dressed and his eyes seemed as penetrating as any that I have ever seen. When his group was ready to play he was in complete and utter command of the incredible creative energy bursting forth from them. With a look or a newly introduced musical phrase which sometimes brought order and direction to this unique group of creative musicians, Tony Williams kept the rhythm going with his driving drums, Herbie was incredibly young and bursting with a torrent of musical ideas. Sometimes you could see Miles walking over to one of the group play a few notes and completely change the direction of the group. He is and always be unique and beautiful to me. I never saw or heard his equal and never will.
I had to watch this twice. Herbie was masterful. So great to be at an age where everything is a lesson for me. I look forward to watching it over and over again.

The show tune “My Funny Valentine” was composed by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart for their 1937 musical Babes in Arms, where it was introduced by former child star Mitzi Green. It would become a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists. Chet Baker and Miles Davis are the two trumpet players most closely associated with the cool jazz movement, though for Davis that is but one of the many subgenres in which he was a major influence. Both of these artists recorded “My Funny Valentine” on numerous occasions with moving and influential results. 5:08 Sources: Jazz Messengers; Jazz Standard com; Jazziz
With the help of Miles's groundwork, the part of Wayne Shorter is one of the most beautiful plays I've ever heard. It starts exactly at 08:55, what will always be on my mind.
What an All-star cast of fine Jazz Musicians this performance had....I have been a semi-professional Alto Sax player for years and never get tired of hearing Miles Davis...I think when I was 13 or 14 I listened to about 20 of his albums realizing that he was a musical genius and surrounded himself with super talented piers that he could mentor...A Legend in his craft...
Wow love these vintage recordings from Italian TV ? This is unsoubtably the pinnicle of western musical art the moments captured for ever what power this is it this why so many young musicians still look to Miles for direction sound texture etc wonderful
Thanks for adding this. Hearing the sound ahead of itself is due to print-through. Old analogue tape stored in the same position for long periods of time or in warm temperatures can cause it.
Analog recordings are often stored Tails out for exactly that reason. The tapes aren't stored ready to play, they're stored in a realist they've already been played, that way any print through happens after the note not before it
The remarkable thing about Miles and all the cats then was that they could turn on a dime based on what was happening in the music. When Wayne got into his thing the whole band turned on a dime to what was happening musically. Then they made a clean transition to the piano then back to Miles.
Can anyone really say that the music today is better than this? The Golden Age of Contemporary music....when when the music was more important than the booze being sold at the bar.....or trying to make out with your date......mmmmmmmm so much good times..I miss it so much!!
To tell the truth., I enthusiastically love his modal jazz tunes like "So what". But of course, I can't disregard remarkable standard popular songs like this " My funny Valentine". the improvisations weaved by Miles Davis are awfully thrilling. His live performance at Italy would become an unforgettable scene among many modern Jazz fans. From Tokyo
As much as Miles Loves the Harmon mute, I'm surprised he didn't grab it on this one. Sounds great with the open trumpet though, especially with his supporting cast giving him the perfect accompaniment
So sad, '64 being the year of my birth, that Mr. Davis and his bandmates playing before many light skin patrons, would not have been able to seek shelter and quench hunger at any establishment of choice in his own country.
Robert Martinez Nonsense. His music required intelligent, sophisticated audiences with money. He didn’t even begin to reach out to black audiences until the late ‘sixties. Even then he was trying to attract the rock music crowd where the real money was. Nothing wrong with that. All great musicians go for the money. Mozart and Beethoven knew you can’t have great art without wealthy patrons. Miles loved fine clothes and Ferraris and, at this time, his jet-set chamber music image. Read his autobiography.
@@hughmanatee7657 Jazz is an African American innovation, what do mean about reaching out to? Do you not know the history of jazz or America? The nonsense is yours.
@@bf2err Miles wouldn't have chosen Herbie for his Quintet if he wasn't excellent. As for the original post that Miles was "bullying" Herbie...that is major conjecture. It was Miles' band. From what I've seen, Miles is not a bully at all. Miles is a musical genius that simply adapted and corrected things when necessary. Bullying has nothing whatsoever to do with it. But that just my take.
Platinum is generally valued higher than gold. This is because platinum is rarer than gold, has a higher density and is purer. Platinum is the certification awarded to music albums that have sold more than 1 million copies. Gold is awarded to music albums that have sold more than 500,000 copies. Diamond is the highest certification and is awarded to music singles that have sold more than 10 million copies. 1:01 Sources: Diamond Mansion; Musical Mum
He respected Miles but recorded/played this song first in the 50’s. Also they were from different areas. Like hip hop in the 90’s, jazz at that time was split into categories based on a sound representing a coast or localities. Chet Baker & Miles Davis both played Cool Jazz but Miles was very vocal about his definition of jazz in general & was not impressed with the local musicians involved in the scene Chet Baker came out of. With that said, I actually prefer Chet Baker’s version of Funny Valentine but thats the beauty of music......just preference, no right or wrong.
That's bleed through on the tape. Since it winds up in a spiral sometimes you can hear the sounds from the adjacent section of tape copied over, before or afterwards. You can hear the same thing in the beginning of Resolution by John Coltrane. Really makes me realize how much Miles likes to play with dynamics all through his solo.
***** Its callused print through on analog tape, its where the layer of tape recorded before "prints through" to the layer underneath. you can also hear it on some Led Zeppelin songs where the tape was stored "tails in" , which was a mistake……. but a cool mistake.
shawn sullivan So it's actually a completely different recording? Or in this case is it just that the engineer will have recorded the track back to the same tape maybe after sending it through some hardware?
***** No it's the same recording, it's also nothing to do with the engineer, it's to do with the actual recording being stored for a while. The tape is like a snail, right, it's this big spiral. And maybe each layer of tape is a couple of seconds of music. So if the spiral is tightly wound and not looked after then the information on each layer of tape will 'bleed' through to another layer - in this case you can hear what's about to happen before it happens before it's bled through slightly from the next layer of tape
This is great creative powerful music that is important for the simple and important example by instrument voices, such as some have done in several ways by certain entities and / or certain details for example: Albinoni Boccherini Zipoli Debussy Milhaud Les Six Stravinsky Ives Miles Evans Coltrane Shorter C Baker Mulligan Brubeck Konitz Jarrett E Spalding Brilliant Great Ulf Hellerup, Playlists example Ulf Bech MusiK 888 or Ulf Bech Musik1 YT
I gotta say....though it’s probably not the fashionable thing to say: I prefer Chet Baker’s version. He brought it to Jazz first in the 50’s.....& I dont think even Miles surpassed his passion in this particular song.
Where are the young Wayne Shorters and Herbie Hancocks of the world......please tell an old man who played in this era,,,,,,,,where are they?... and of course where are the young Miles D or Brownie or Stanley Newcombe Getz or Bird?.

What a privilege and what a comment Michael. Miles lives in you and in everyone that feels the same. Thank you very much!
I wish I would have been there, would have felt what you felt 🙏🏻🌹
Wow! How incredibly lucky you were to have seen such a band…..
I'm glad they did this great stuff out of the U.S. That way they were appreciated
I'm not aficionado enough to know whether they are at their best here, but I am blown away by the beauty. All of these guys were/are living treasures.
With Miles in charge, all of his musicians are at their best. Miles demanded nothing less.
The amount of print-through on that tape is incredible. You get a preview of each riff before they happen, if you listen closely
I had to watch this twice. Herbie was masterful. So great to be at an age where everything is a lesson for me. I look forward to watching it over and over again.
The most deep going into this wonderful song, so nice! Singing with his trumpet! The Man with the Horn! Thank you Miles Davis! Grazie mile!¡!

The master of space!!! This is one of the most beautiful played pieces of music on the planet.
If you don't like this .... I don't know what to say.
My mom hung out with him. My youngest daughter wrote an essay about him. Always love music.
@jusnbla self righteous prick
Seine (und diese Art Musik) begleitet mich (65 Jahre) jetzt schon seit ich hören kann -größten Dank an Alle Aktöre/innen.
What an All-star cast of fine Jazz Musicians this performance had....I have been a semi-professional Alto Sax player for years and never get tired of hearing Miles Davis...I think when I was 13 or 14 I listened to about 20 of his albums realizing that he was a musical genius and surrounded himself with super talented piers that he could mentor...A Legend in his craft...
Miles put his unique and exquisite touch to this melody!! Marvelous!!
One of my favorite bands of all time!
The master innovator. He was a great user of space. Marvelous tone. RIP Miles Davis.
Charles Barry ...He started use space, after listening to the legendary jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal.
Happy 90th birthday Miles.

Totally one of the Greatest musicians composer Extraordinaire!
so pure and raw... make me miss playing the trumpet MINUS the spit valve
I listing to u
Simply beautiful! Perfection!
I love seeing Miles Davis in concert...his solos are so lyrical.
Wow, herbie is so young in this video! This performance is legendary!
Stunningly beautiful. Always
There has never been anyone like him!!
Nor like you.
Miles not only had talent, he had swagger, could dress his "ass" off and is attractive to me....love me some Miles!
hehe hell yes.
I am with you. Cool as a Summer Breeze. I love me some Miles Davis 💗
Beautiful 👍🏾
i can feel my heart rate slowing down from the love in this.....damn....thank you for posting this.
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart
?
?
This is simply sublime stuff. Words leave me to describe the interwoven energies in the creation of this FUNNY VALENTINE.
Cool as a Summer Breeze. Miles Davis was something else....
my favorite 💝 valentine song 🎵 2021
Best Shorter I've EVER heard.
Miles was vibing Herbie this whole gig lol...even cut the man's solo off before the full form went through...cold lol
Not denying he was vibing Herbie, but he usually finishes that section in this tune. Same thing in Stella.
The strange audio effect some complain about below is called "pre-echo," a print-through defect w/ old recordings...
i just cry when i hear this see this
Beautiful
Exceptional video. Thank you for posting.
Very precious video.Thank you.
Milan, Italy, nearest to my heart future destination! Take me there Miles in my mind!
Homeland brought me here! Thank you Carrie Mathison or Claire Danes ♥
MILES DAVIS GENIO TOTAL
Mr Ron Carter is so good on these ballads.
My Funny Valentine 👌😘❤️
riservata questa esibizione di Davis , trattenuta , a differenza di Chet che colora di blu lavanda la melodia ♡
It's 2023 and I'm here.
Thanks for adding this.

Yes. And Herbie carries all of it so effortlessly, it seems. Exquisite.
Awesome
For some reason you can hear what Miles is going to play before he plays it. Anyone else?
Quite the opposite for me - I *never* know what's coming next! But once it comes, it always seems like it absolutely had to be that way.
yes, I heard that too
strange, feels like some background guy is silently dictating the notes
The reason is the old record, it happens on old cassette tape as per my experience
As well
inégalés, inégalables.............des géants
Simply sublime
much has already been written. extraordinary is enough. neither more nor less. unbelievable 11:11
but many people are in another department. patience. compassion 11:44
M.D. ILOVE IT,🎉🎉
das ist genial -besser geht es nicht .danke
This is the great quartet post Coltrane.
c'est l'epoque avec Herbie au piano super

The man who changed jazz forever.
Charles Barry ...Miles Dewey Davis III wasn't the only musician who changed Jazz.
yeah but he changed it 4-5 times!
Miles Davis...the Ultimate trumpeter...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Each player gives it a salutory sound.
Simply love it
I love you
いいなぁ。レコードでしか聴けなかった。散歩しながらガツンと来る！伴奏つきぬけたけと、思いがあったのかな
Ron Carter on bass

Play it now!
So sad, '64 being the year of my birth, that Mr. Davis and his bandmates playing before many light skin patrons, would not have been able to seek shelter and quench hunger at any establishment of choice in his own country.

Jason Kelly Read Miles’ autobiography. That should open your eyes.
At the very beginning you can see Miles bullying Herbie, cause apparently he didn't like what he did on the previous song...
Miles was like a drill sergeant on stage, wasn't he?
Herbie way to good to be bullied imo
@@bf2err ...This was circa mid-sixties. Herbert Jeffrey Hancock did not have his own band.
@@brucescott4261 i had no idea. Yet his playing here on this video is definitely top-tier

👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏
This video witnessed Herbie's two hands covering phrasing, that he uses often.
This is the model that trumpeters of the cool school used
Clearly Chet Baker is from this school.His concept of playing is different.
He respected Miles but recorded/played this song first in the 50’s. Also they were from different areas. Like hip hop in the 90’s, jazz at that time was split into categories based on a sound representing a coast or localities.

やっぱエエわあマイルス
whatever it is its in this music
Ron Carter
Unbelievable.
Theres a weird delay where you can hear the trumpet around 4 seconds before it's played.
That's bleed through on the tape. Since it winds up in a spiral sometimes you can hear the sounds from the adjacent section of tape copied over, before or afterwards. You can hear the same thing in the beginning of Resolution by John Coltrane.

For my momma
Who in the hell doesn’t like this? 41 Fools
Il est parfaitement clair que Wayne Shorter ne serait pas devenu Wayne Shorter sans... la révolution sublime que fut John Coltrane
Don't think Miles was too happy with the sax player.
The sax player is Wayne Shorter.
Chet Baker is the BEST
audio engineers used to put solo instrument too much forward those days. the band is pushed so far back...
9:30 "Here I am, now with my cocaine!!"
I gotta say....though it’s probably not the fashionable thing to say: I prefer Chet Baker’s version. He brought it to Jazz first in the 50’s.....& I dont think even Miles surpassed his passion in this particular song.
The trumpet sounds like anybody kitten torments, listen Chet Baker in Tokyo, this is the best "My funny Valentine" solo ever!
