Its so amazing that these guys were all geniuses they studied music and learned it inside and out. Unfortunately. rock and blues musicians are primitive compared to this.
Vicious- this Band is not taking prisoners😮their integrity, intensity, and creative insights into the beauty of melodic development and advanced harmonic expansion propelled these creators to levels of sophistication rarely achieved.
Charlie died 65 years ago today. God Bless Him! Thank you for all the music you left behind. I wish I could have seen you and miles play together. I know you two are jamming in Jazz Heaven.
The trades between Bird and Miles starting at 8:39 are very amazing!!! They could never do that on a studio recording due to the short lengths of the record sides in those days. This live session is pure gold, all the way through!
I know, if only the technology of a CBS records would have been around a decade earlier, we would be talking about a couple of Bird LPs like Kind of Blue. Artist couldn’t expand their compositions on a record like they were able to in the 1950s
Only thing I can say is... what a shame I was not around in NY city at that time. Miles quote: the best thing that happened in my life with my trousers on was listening Bird and Dizzy playing together! That really tells you all about this music.
My God I can just imagine little jimi hendrix putting his dad's records on in Seattle saying I'm going to do that some day to his dad Al and his dad saying sure son some day I can feel it in my bones !
"Along with Miles Davis, Lous Armstrong, Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, Charlie Parker embodies one of the most popular and innovative jazz figures of all times❤👏👏👏🎶✨️🎺🎷🎵📀"
We ALMOST got a Jimi-Gil Evans album - it was all planned, but Jimi passed away before the session could be held. The album was made anyway with guitarists John Abercrombie & Ryo Kawasaki, and issued as "The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays The Music Of Jimi Hendrix".
It was headed that way. Jimi recorded with Dave Holland and John McLaughlin, both Miles side men and I think I remember a mention in Miles' autobiography a mention of Electric Ladyland studios.
The one I really wanted to hear was a Jimi/Coltrane collaboration. If Coltrane had lived a few years longer, I think he would have gone electric. He was already doing shows with two drummers and two bassists near the end, as if he wanted the rhythm section louder and denser, and his shrieks and wails would have fit perfectly with Jimi's distortion and feedback.
@@KipTheDipWithChips no. Trane planed to teach for children, to open a club of traditionnal folk musics from the world and to study yoruba songs in nigeria to adapt african traditionnal music into freejazz. This is well documented with a lot of mentions by bob thiele, lateef, sanders and many others.
The way these two worked together..... Holy God .... Take my soul away. Do you understand this is American music. WOW! Best of the Best. Thank God for Miles & the Bird. I don't get know what to say. To do it true adoration.... Thank you Lord Krishna.....? I don't know....
D.F. - Magical Milez, sought Charlie Bird Parker out! He wuz attending Julliard during da day & gigging wit Bird @ nite. He told his Julliard Professor, dat he wuz learning mo wit Bird Parker, than @ Julliard. Let Milez teach u. After-all, Milez wuz MILEZ AHEAD. Seek dat, which u wish 2 find, bud. BUTT, DUH stank part, iz dat once u find it, it MAY not b everything u hoped & dreamed about! Milez ended-up dtesting his mentor, bcause after-all, Bird wuz a junkie. Un4tunately, Milez traveled down dat difficult road, bhind Bird. So themz DUH funky partz of life. Put a close pin over ur nose, if it bcumz 2 FUNky. BEST WISHEZ!!!
Only thing I can lament is that Bird didn't listen to Miles and Roach when they advised him to get Bud Powell to replace Al Haig. Bird refused, probably because he reckoned Bud Powell would be too dominating a soloist himself. However the few times they played together has furnished some of the best bebop recordings ever. Al Haig is no bad pianist though.
Bud also had some mental health issues. Some attribute that to an incident of being beat by the police outside of a club, while he was high. But who knows, maybe his issues lead to him antagonizing the police? If I get around to it I'll do some research and add a new response. Do you remember the movie "Round Midnight?" It was really about Bud Powell even the main character was Dexter Gordon, who played sax.
They did do at least one recording session together. It was on the Savoy label. There were four sides, which included "Donna Lee", and "Buzzy". By the way in a bio I read, Miles said he wrote "Donna Lee", for that session, but was not given credit. There a couple of live sessions, with Bird, Dizzy, and Bud, as well. One was in 1950, and the other was the more famous, Jazz at Massey Hall, in 1953. I recently heard Quincy Jones say, he was at the Massey Hall concert.
@@yurei8 those didn't happen till much later. Due in part to police brutally assaulting him in Philadelphia. Bird was a drug addict at the time, and got untold numbers of musicians "hooked" on heroin. Miles also later on. Great player, horrible human being.
@Allen C. Not sure of what dates you are referring to, but the "Donna Lee" session was recorded, on the Savoy label May 8th, 1947. That was the only studio session, I can remember, with Bud Powell on the piano. I had forgotten that on August 19th, of that year, Miles was the leader, of what may have been his first time leading a session date, which was also on the Savoy label. Bird played tenor on that date, as he also did on a Miles session around '52, or '53. Sonny Rollins was also on the latter date, on tenor, as well. Anyway, the the first Miles date, he wrote "Little Willie Leaps", and Half Nelson", (I think named for Nelson Boyd, the bass player on the session. The first of four sides, was called, "Milestones". Most people call the song that name, that came out on Miles later album, with Cannonball, and Coltrane, in the mid 50's. But that song was in reality called, "Miles". However most of us musicians that know, when they hear the name of the song being called "MIlestones", it's the song with Cannonball and Trane. Now that i think of it, the song "Half Nelson", was covered on MIles first Columbia label release. I love Trane's solos on Half Nelson and Bye Bye Blackbird, on that. Perhaps you know all of this, but I'm just being thorough.
He is the father of jazz. Before him there was swing. Before swing there was Dixieland. But this style of playing he created, and inspired everyone playing before him to do something new and different.
MILES DAVIS SO LYRICAL COPING BIRDS-BAG WITH CHOICE NOTES man these cats had to endure the problems of that time! To-be so creative and put-up with all that go threw the back B-S. THE LORD IS SO WISE YA-KNOW MUSIC IS SPIRITUAL !!!
A prophet said, he saw da future, & Kingz would b slavez, unaware of who they REALly were. Dis iz sumthin, our current nerdy technocratz, banksta gangstaz, & politrickshunz, have no clue about. They don't know whut they put out, iz gonna b waitin 4 em, when they resurface! Anywho..... Bird wuz named appropriately. Tho they named him so, bcause he LOVED fried chicken ( yardbird - he once stole a chicken, out of sumbodiez backyard, whilst touring da South. Datz where his nickname, came from. ) I think Bird wuz appropriately named, simply bcause his playing, SOARED!!!!!!!
Miles and bird this what real jazz sound like the birth of cool daddy,o hip and smooth,and let,s not forget my idol brother max roach on drums with real beats,m.m jazzing for life.
...Miles hangs in there pretty good trading fours on on Big Foot - and even blazes a bit of double-time on his last one - but Bird responds by effortlessly blowing him away with a final flurry, as if to put an end to that.
Saxophones can play 3.5 times, or more, faster than trumpets because saxophones have ten buttons and the notes are all in a row. Trumpets on the other hand have three buttons and the notes are all over the place.
Miles Davis is super overrated in every way. He could barely cut it in any group he was in. He posed as some hip tough guy; that got him a lot of mileage.
I agree with you. But there is an historic context to this, also. It is my understanding that Miles and Bird were arguing, at this time. Miles was doing a lot of work, like conducting rehearsals, that Bird did not even show up at, etc. Mile quit the group. it may have even been this very night. I think this is the last recorded club session, with Miles as Bird's sideman. In a recording at the same club two weeks later Red Rodney, was on trumpet. They did recording sessions after that. Bird had Miles on a session in '51. And Miles had Bird on a couple of his sessions after that , I believe that. One session that I know of featured, Bird on tenor, as well as Sonny Rollins, maybe in '53. Anyway I can tell you have a great ear. These live recordings add an extra dimension ot the music. I love how someone says, "you were right that time" at the end of the hearty applause on Miles solo on Ornithology. Hope you get this post. Blessings!
Poor Miles, stumbling through the changes: what an embarrassment after Bird's inspirational work! It was only later, that he realised he just couldn't play like Bird, that he adopted the lyrical approach in, for example, Miles Ahead, that he came into his own. PS: Lovely to hear the sadly underrated Al Haig, soloing beautifully as always.
Al Haig was a real piece of work about how he spoke about Bird later. Per Phil Woods, Haig reallllllly laid into Bird’s kid, Baird, while Haig was wasted. ‘Yeah I knew you’re old man, what a pos’ etc.
I think what you're hearing is just an out of tune piano (a sadly common thing in clubs of the era). The piano plays a C minor 9 chord and at least one of the notes (Bb?) is flat.
@@MilestonesArchive it's about the slide-sound of the piano at that moment - as far as i know, pianos don't have such mechanics to pitch tones, only to delay or cut tones! it's really spooky!!
Miles has said that it was a seriously challenging situation for him, as you could imagine, coming up with solos following Charlie Parker. No time for hero worship or playing it safe, he had to dig deep and work very hard to meet such a singularly high standard. After that nothing intimidated Miles musically. The swagger he carried with him through the rest of his career was earned in sessions like these.

Bird, Miles and Max were all in their 20's here..with Miles the youngest at 22.
What a pleasure to have lived through this!

Jazz musicians, so ahead of the rest of the world. In life, and The world knowledge. Of people.
Miles Davis was musically relevant for 5 decades while he played and he still is today because of the quality of music he made.
And the influence Miles had on other musicians.
Charlie "Bird" Parker, Max Roach & a "Young Miles Davis"...This Is Jazz @ It's Finest...Period!
It will never be like this again sadly
Let’s not ignore Al Haig’s elegant piano contribution here!

Considering how hard it is to play trumpet, Miles was just fine. I heard the fresh ideas, too. Haig on piano was tight.
Only thing I can lament is that Bird didn't listen to Miles and Roach when they advised him to get Bud Powell to replace Al Haig. Bird refused, probably because he reckoned Bud Powell would be too dominating a soloist himself. However the few times they played together has furnished some of the best bebop recordings ever.

When did Miles first start turning his back to the crowd?Charlie Parker doing somethings here never heard from a sax player.
Poor Miles, stumbling through the changes: what an embarrassment after Bird's inspirational work! It was only later, that he realised he just couldn't play like Bird, that he adopted the lyrical approach in, for example, Miles Ahead, that he came into his own.
PS: Lovely to hear the sadly underrated Al Haig, soloing beautifully as always.
Least they might have tuned the piano for him.
Spot on. Miles is generally a boring player especially early, but a brilliant composer later on. I'd have loved to hear Brownie hear with these guys.
you are an idiot
As part of the Reagan administration, Al Haig was a disgrace.
Miles Davis is overrated.
What I wouldn’t give for some video of this performance. Not very likely (or practical) in a jazz club in the late 40’s, but wouldn’t it be nice.
It would be fantastic. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to even find still photos of Miles and Bird together.

I think what you're hearing is just an out of tune piano (a sadly common thing in clubs of the era). The piano plays a C minor 9 chord and at least one of the notes (Bb?) is flat.
@@MilestonesArchive it's about the slide-sound of the piano at that moment - as far as i know, pianos don't have such mechanics to pitch tones, only to delay or cut tones! it's really spooky!!

Is B. Harris really on piano in Ornithology??
B. Harris is bebop trumpeter 'Little' Benny Harris, who co-composed the Ornithology theme. The pianist on the session is Al Haig.

Is the picture from that night?
No, that's a shot from the Three Deuces in New York, around August 1947. The photographer was William P. Gottlieb.
Miles actually "sounds" young here! You can tell Bop was new to him cause he's swinging like mad! Still getting his chops.
Miles has said that it was a seriously challenging situation for him, as you could imagine, coming up with solos following Charlie Parker. No time for hero worship or playing it safe, he had to dig deep and work very hard to meet such a singularly high standard. After that nothing intimidated Miles musically. The swagger he carried with him through the rest of his career was earned in sessions like these.
Read his book, he was very inexperienced compared to the big boys
He was so young that the clothes he was wearing in the pic weren't even his. Definitely green but with a lot of potential and promise.
@@Tusc9969 ...Those were Miles' clothes!
