Finding something this beautiful later in life is reassuring, because it makes me sure that there are more beautiful things in this world then I will will ever have time to experience. So I will be joyful till I die.
This is a good example of why JM is, imo, a genius. His chords are otherworldly and his creative and beautiful expressiveness touches something inside me.
Good God! To have been able to experience this epiphany live. All the magical creative artists with complete mastery of their instruments are gradually disappearing.
Music is indeed the universal language. Zawinul (McLauglin still is …) was indeed a multi -linguist able to speak the language in such a sublime manner few will ever emulate. His articulation was unmatched. He is missed.
Oh My God! And we all know that Zawinul wrote In a Silent Way. He also wrote Pharao's Dance, and played on that album - Bitches Brew. MAJOR INFLUENCE ON MUSIC!
Excellent- Two of my favourite Musical Masters playing together and doing the classic'In A Silent Way'. R.I.P Miles Davis and Joe Zawinul - Your Music Lives On. May you play your Guitars forever John McLaughlin, GOD Bless.
+Pas Thomas I understand the points you convey. He is one of my favorites. He is as much a pleasure to watch, and listen to now, as he was the first time I heard him all those years gone by. I think he enjoys playing as much as well. (at least I believe so)
best use of a guitar synth i have ever heard, when he turns it on and plays that series of altered chords it dropped me to my knees. Ironically, i find myself wishing Joe was playing his keys here -he’s been my hero for 45 years but feel the Pepe was a misstep for him. he stopoed using it after a while
What a superb version of this classic piece. McLaughlin's use of the guitar synthesizer easily ranks as one of the most successful ever, and Joe solos beautifully on the wind controller over John's chords. I love it! ❤❤
so fakking beautiful, wow...I have seen and heard a lot of JM in my life and this right here might be my favorite performance by him, sheeesh, so confident and relaxed, just hinting at being frenetic (hahaha)...a cascade of chordal harmonies and they intuit the vibe so well.....if you squint you can see JZ, as an old shepard in the foothills of the Alps, wandering around playing that strange instrument and hitching up his pants....love this
Just stunningly magnificent ! Absurdly crushed chords reach to the heights for something brand new and completely altering. incroyablement magnifique !
Two masters creating music of unspeakable beauty!! If it were humanly possible, I would show this to every person on the planet! The world would instantly become a more peaceful, loving and habitable place for us all.
Geez, you could be my doppelgänger. HUGE Yes, Wakey, WR, John McL fan, and love the BB soundtrack, watched it last year. Saw C & N multiple times, as well.
intriguing to hear the voice Joe heard in his head come thru his breath and incomparable clavier dexterity. Obviously, he was catalytic in the presence of both Cannonball and Wayne Shorter, but i must share that Joe once asked me, early in knowing him as he and Ivan's Sales Engineer at Sweetwater (pre2K,) if there was a sample library of Ben Webster's horn. What emanates from Joe in this context is a fusion of Ben and Wayne, in tone and inflection, with a rekindling of Joe's original ax technique on the accordion (the controller has a keyboard layout, in lieu of woodwind fingerings, á la melodica.) Aching beauty emerges from both these prodigious voices in Miles' cohort who pioneered the transformation of jazz into world fusion, melding a slew of cultural and technological threads into finest tapestry of sensorial delight.
One thing a great jazz musician does is take everything he thinks he knows and throw it out the window. Love of "The Spiritual" search of music all around us keeps growth and beauty at fingertip.
Joe and Wayne started out together, amongst the first things they did together, was "In a silent way." The last thing they did together was "in a silent way." Just 10 days before Joe died.
McLaughlin is using his Photon MIDI controller - you can see it in the rack. I still have mine. It was a good idea at the time but it has been surpassed by newer tech. Great stuff.
HAd things a bit backwards when I was 14 yrs. I old. I got into Miles be ause he played with Joh. N Mc. Or so I thought. GreT. Erosion. (VERSSION). THANK YOU FOR POSTI G..
What is there to say -just magic and really beautiful-a wonderful memory of two musicians who were important to Miles-the greatest magician of them all.
Quiet audience? Surprised the camera has not panned on at least the front row...until the end. Strange but very welcome since the focus remains appropriately on Joe and John.
Hmmm....I'm thinking.............. Men like these have made the most fresh, exquisite, technically, and passionate, perfect , heart rendering music since Coltrane!! Women too....They all, in memoirs, and interviews, acknowledge Mr. Coltrane, as we all should!!!
and to think they both played on the miles davis version all those years ago... zawinul doesn't sound lost, he just has a meandering kind of melodic style, like how he moseys around the stage. think of brown street, dream clock, night passage... some of his gestures sound like he's thinking, "what would wayne say about this?"
Speaking about chords, dear Oliver K, I think I can clearly hear FLAMENCO CHORDS in JML's wonderful playing, which weren't there before crossing with inmortal Paco de Lucía. He even smiles at playing them...
Finding something this beautiful later in life is reassuring, because it makes me sure that there are more beautiful things in this world then I will will ever have time to experience. So I will be joyful till I die.
So well said
ditto@@abrarahmed1888
Such versatile and creative musicians.
What feeling souls!
This is a good example of why JM is, imo, a genius. His chords are otherworldly and his creative and beautiful expressiveness touches something inside me.
The other Allan Holdsworth 😎
The absolute best guitarist of the 20th century.
I’m just so freaking happy right now!
Listen to the sound of heaven.
Good God! To have been able to experience this epiphany live. All the magical creative artists with complete mastery of their instruments are gradually disappearing.
New ones will come. Such is the covenant of lifetime.
I LOVE this - it is perfection. Zawinul playing the wind controller is a beautiful match for McLaughlin.
Joe makes it sound like a soprano sax a la Wayne Shorter who played on the original I think....
A genius of harmony ❤ he sets the mood and John rides on it perfectly Oh my... what delight!
Music is indeed the universal language. Zawinul (McLauglin still is …) was indeed a multi -linguist able to speak the language in such a sublime manner few will ever emulate. His articulation was unmatched. He is missed.
Yes!
You put it way better than me,yes
Yes but i heard it will soon be replaced by Chinese
Just some of the most ethereal music from 2 masters of their craft. It hardly gets any better than this!!!!
Two real Masters of music!! RIP Joe Zawinul!!
Oh My God! And we all know that Zawinul wrote In a Silent Way. He also wrote Pharao's Dance, and played on that album - Bitches Brew. MAJOR INFLUENCE ON MUSIC!
Pharoa's Dance absolutely kills me. I love Joe.
one of the greatest albums of all time. the version w/ Miles is totally etherial
Absolutely.
he didn't write shit, fan boy
Yes right ! Joe🙏
Excellent- Two of my favourite Musical Masters playing together and doing the classic'In A Silent Way'. R.I.P Miles Davis and Joe Zawinul - Your Music Lives On. May you play your Guitars forever John McLaughlin, GOD Bless.
Wow a beautiful conversation for us to partake in... healing
What a truly beautiful piece of music, played by two stunning musicians. Thanks.
what a lovely moment in music history
When all... Fears.... Gently fold away...... The true heart simply radiates, no place to go.. no place been..... The moment is.... Complete *
Timelessly Beautiful
best guitarist in history. what an artist.
+Pas Thomas There is no such thing. John is indeed amongst the elite of the world though.
+Human Bein' no, he's the best, there is no question bout that!
+Pas Thomas Sure there is. Just not in YOUR mind. Enjoy his playing in good health. :-)
I speak entirely of technical proficiency,
the ability to play in numerous styles with improvised conviction.
and of course the 'speed of art' :)
+Pas Thomas I understand the points you convey. He is one of my favorites. He is as much a pleasure to watch, and listen to now, as he was the first time I heard him all those years gone by. I think he enjoys playing as much as well. (at least I believe so)
Beautiful, Cool ,Outstanding musician's. Heard John live with Mavi ork in 70s thenPaco,Al,and John in 80s.. Outstanding.
best use of a guitar synth i have ever heard, when he turns it on and plays that series of altered chords it dropped me to my knees.

Why did it take me practically a lifetime to discover this piece of music! Beautiful.
Yeah I agree, and it took me three more years than you. Lol
But you did. Count yourself among the fortunate my friend.
Better late than never.😃
We come to things when it's time...
the only way it should ever be performed. 2 masters,1 timeless tune. thanks for posting, this is precious.
check out weather report version 1976 stockholm
Masters!! These 2 can play anything with anybody and it instantly becomes a classic.
so fakking beautiful, wow...I have seen and heard a lot of JM in my life and this right here might be my favorite performance by him, sheeesh, so confident and relaxed, just hinting at being frenetic (hahaha)...a cascade of chordal harmonies and they intuit the vibe so well.....if you squint you can see JZ, as an old shepard in the foothills of the Alps, wandering around playing that strange instrument and hitching up his pants....love this
They are so good that even the usual haters/critics have nothing to say; it is refreshing to say the least

I've never seen a wind controller used like this. These two people performed together beautifully...
Just stunningly magnificent ! Absurdly crushed chords reach to the heights for something brand new and completely altering. incroyablement magnifique !
I can't imagine the feeling of listening to this live and in the moment
Absolutely beautiful!
Two masters creating music of unspeakable beauty!! If it were humanly possible, I would show this to every person on the planet! The world would instantly become a more peaceful, loving and habitable place for us all.
what an absolutely beautiful piece of work.... dreamy I'm telling you!
amazing chords
who can ever get in the mind of a genius musician.....answer another genius musician..simple...
Muscianship ..and music at its best..virtuosos..of Jazz and World music..
Heaven must have sent You from above , gentlmen. Rozkochany w tej muzyce ,Wojciech
Tener ese conocimiento sobre la música y aportar a la humidad es cosa de ángeles. ❤❤❤
How beautiful is that!💚

Two of the best. Thank you. BH
Сложно представить себе что-то красивее этого великолепия.... Браво!!!
Two innovators and masters,this a wonderful piece and a brilliant version
Stunning!
i don't know this, incredible !!
Awesome. Delicioso. Thanks for posting. Obrigado.
Geez, you could be my doppelgänger. HUGE Yes, Wakey, WR, John McL fan, and love the BB soundtrack, watched it last year. Saw C & N multiple times, as well.
Wow, who know this would be this good?! Be-A-U-tiful!
All is Love!
Really beautiful
I see this piece not as music, but as a perspective of the world, an ethereal image of the union of the souls.
But this is what music can be, do not doubt the greatness of art.

Vaya genios, Increible lo más,Joan, Catalonia free,💕💕❤️
Extraordinary and beautiful touching guitar by John .a true Master
Joe and Wayne started out together, amongst the first things they did together, was "In a silent way." The last thing they did together was "in a silent way." Just 10 days before Joe died.
And here is the reason, why I love YT: ua-cam.com/video/n2vEQh8kbWo/v-deo.html
Be sure to have some tissues handy...😢
Inspiring Choices for the Lost and Found.
Absolutely astonishing
Are you serious?!?!....John is natural genius. Watching him play in awe
best version of best song in history.
Original wan't bad.
Two icons !!!!
Stellar !
Miss you Joe…….
Now that really is “soul” music.
Wow!!! Amazing!!
Wonderful
Beautiful.
Most beautiful :)
Magic Joe... ❤
Brilliant, exquisite, beautiful. A tune by Miles I think. This made me tear up ... Joe, Miles we miss you deeply.
written by Joe Zawinul
McLaughlin is using his Photon MIDI controller - you can see it in the rack. I still have mine. It was a good idea at the time but it has been surpassed by newer tech. Great stuff.
BEAUTY.
What is Jazz ..going to do without likes of John ...Al Di Meola .Pat Metheny..in years to come..true pioneers..of Jazz..and Fusion
Rosenwinkel, Heckselman just to name a few ...
Feel free and delicate. 5 stars.
HAd things a bit backwards when I was 14 yrs. I old. I got into Miles be ause he played with Joh. N Mc. Or so I thought. GreT. Erosion. (VERSSION). THANK YOU FOR POSTI G..
thank you .
Wonderful....
I wish Zawinul's volume had been balanced with McLaughlin's, in this recording.
Otherwise, very nice. Great song done by two great musicians.
Brillant!
Gorgeous tranquility
Amazing stuff right here
Du godeste - hvilke musikere.

It is worth mentioning...John is from Yorkshire,UK
Zawinul's musical brings us to a different galaxie and McLaughlin is a wonderfull complementary from our galaxie. ✌
Magic.
Zawinul!!!
Super
Speaking about chords, dear Oliver K, I think I can clearly hear FLAMENCO CHORDS in JML's wonderful playing, which weren't there before crossing with inmortal Paco de Lucía. He even smiles at playing them...
@2:50 to @3:02 the line communicated and the harmony continued. goose bumps
When & where recorded ? & why is there not more of this masterful beauty uploaded - best of the best imo
Zawinul playing his custom made Korg Pepe breath controlled synth.
magic
hate how at 4:28 Joe's notes are hidden behind the cymbal. What a gem.
Qué más les puedo escribir? Si él es el mejor guitarrista del mundo! ¿cuantas veces lo he escrito? John Mac Laughlin. El invencible! sí ó no?
