Imagine being 15 years old and sitting in the first row at Shellys Man Hole center stage to hear the Miles Davis Quintet Live. I was blown away. That memory is still with me today. It has had a lasting impact. Thank you, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams.
I loved that Old jazz dive on N Cahuenga near Selma in Hollywood from back in the day... 'Yes, that's an indelible Shelly's Manne-Hole 1608 N Cahuenga memory...
Miles is on superb blowing form. His 'head' and its intro are shaped so perfectly, with every contour as if it had been pre-arranged, which maybe it had. And what a range on the horn ! up, and down. Miles at his best maybe? And listen to how the rhythm section support Wayne's slowish start with ultra empathetic comping, then propel him to venus and back... Then Herbie goes all west coast gospel mixed with Ravel and Tony can't decide which of six different times hes playing in... until he goes volcanic around 10.00 sensational ! It simply doesn't get better than this, folks... this level of musicality has never been reached before by a small group. Love you Herbie peace world
My man! Your hearing is acute. Your ability to bed the intersectionality of the emotional content with the realization that this musical structural edifice could only have been created by advanced cultural architects led by a vessel of truly gifted sorcery puts you on a path of enlightenment which will allow you to unlock many mysteries in the Universe.(congratulations)
Years ago in Toronto, as it turned out, at Tony's last appearance (can't remember who/what) there was a really fine section of seats roped off at the venue. Of course we all wondered who would fill the seats. They slowly began to filter in, and as it turned out, every important drummer in Toronto had at least one seat in that section.
This music is free and because it is , the codification and formulae that jazz so often falls into , is avoided . I remember hearing Miles when I was 17 , not understanding jazz , but still knowing by feeling the freedom and the light and shade in his playing .
Transformational, prolonged consciousness, elevated abstract reasoning coupled with a profound sense of melancholy , and a highly developed language of emotions that portray the pristine beauty of humanity’s collective soul. To hear is to be touched and never forget.
Magic - I never tire of listening to this great band. I have all the albums and probably most of the bootlegs after listening to Miles for something like 70 years; however, his music still never fails to thrill. The videos of the live performance only go back to the advent of the internet but they are most welcome and interesting to watch. The body language of the musicians is always worth watching; it reminds me of how great it is to go to a concert or club and see jazz live-a great upload-thank you.

I really think Miles was a genius at making the rest of us think he was a genius. I seldom listen to my large collection of Miles Davis recordings anymore.
Whaaaaaat! Not his best solo but still a fantastic solo. I think you might be missing something. Listen to his solo on bitches brew live Rome October 1969 w/ Miles' 'lost quintet' and tell me i f u still getting nothing.
@@flukecentral5641 I listened to this one again -- still zero. I probably won't find the Rome set -- don't know where to look. Sorry. I must tell you that I think Coltrane was a bad influence on all tenor players, not just Shorter. Call me a moldy fig.
@@flukecentral5641, I'm admitting to you that I just don't get it. OK? I think Coltrane was a bad influence on tenor players in general, not just Shorter. To put this in perspective: I think Coltrane's solos KoB solos on "Flamenco Sketches" and "Blue in Green", especially the latter are wonderful and most of his other solos of that period and beyond are not. Call me a moldy fig.
are you serious.. ...Andrea Motis is much more in the Chet Baker school....beautiful melofic and "easy listening" but nothing in comparaison with Shorter-Hancock-Davis work... "given the times" ... best of nowadays musicians still try to work on and understand the music of those master.... Anyway, this is just a question of taste not a competition.. have a good day ;)
Sorry, but I think that the group distorted such a beautiful tune. The introduction is very good, but later it is like melodic and harmonic variations at the same time, and that leads to a mess. People feel emotion because of their loud playing, powerful bass and drums, but you cannot know where they are in a solo, maybe you could know it by counting measures, or when for a second they play something coherent. Anyway all of them are great musicians.
noble debate It’s okay, if you listen to more of the second great quintet you will develop your ear! Their choices are absolutely governed by an underlying harmonic system, it is just much different than what we are used to hearing!
That's modal jazz for you, it's mostly scale driven. There's no functional harmony, no riding the melody and no home key. Just a bunch of cool chords and scale hopping

Don't forget Wayne
Spent many nights listening at Shelly's......so many greats....

The reason for the invention of time machine is literally this, your experience.
You're never the same. I know
Thank you, Herbie, for helping preserve this magical performance. Rest in Peace, Wayne Shorter
Me too, I'm glad someone wrote a song about it.
Don't bother, there is enough life to love in this world... even Trump cannot change that!
agree
@@vvangeus you shut the fuck up

Couldn’t have said it better my man
Just a reminder that Tony Williams was 21 here.
Whatever kind of "music lover" would click the thumbs down on anything as heavenly as this needs an ear amputation....
Nobody performs this tune like THIS Miles Davis Quintet live during this period!!!
My god, that rithym section, no matter how many times i listen to them, they always blow my mind

Herbie's solo is pure creativity supported by a powerhouse drum and bass
ygg drasil! the probability of bumping into Genghis rises!!
I'm having difficulty trying to find words to express what I am thinking, regarding miles Davis' musicianship. He was RIDICULOUSLY FANTASTIC. 🎶⚡🎸🎹🥁🎷🎺
9:55-10:04 legendary moment... even Miles hand to pause his prowl towards the mic to check what Herbie was doing.
Glad I had parents that were totally HIP to Jazz and was exposed to such incredible artists.
This music is free and because it is , the codification and formulae that jazz so often falls into , is avoided . I remember hearing Miles when I was 17 , not understanding jazz , but still knowing by feeling the freedom and the light and shade in his playing .
Check out Miles' wrist at 1:39. thats a damn nice watch

Gotta love how he starts so smooth giving you a very clear idea of the melody and then just pure chops

What an epic band this was
No other one like Miles.....EVER! The second great quintet with Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and the very young Tony Williams (21 years old)
Pepper Williams in '67?
Not sure this is the second great quintet.
Tony started playing with Miles in '63 when he was 17, talk about young
HaliniSnow, never really got the love he should have gotten. One of the all time greats
How can you miss out herbie in that???
Miles' playing here is impressive (at least in the context of this late date), but his suit is even better.
10:03 thought ron carter's legs were playing the drums for a second there
LOL hahaha
lmao!!!
Omg
Hahahahah, wtf

At bit to much! You have to get into the tune! Somewhere on the line!
Why does Wayne sound lime He"s 'Trane"s prodigy? Perhaps one could get too acquainted with His prime season...
HAPPY NATIONAL SCIENCE FICTION DAY!
irrespectful rascals!
It's OK, given the times. . .but the Joan Chamorro/Andrea Motis more recent cover version is much better.

De eso se trata, de modificar de crear de distorsionar un tema muy ro.antico y llevarlo a otra instancia, otra cualidad..
Simplemente maravilloso!
