I became a total fan of this kind of music on a Royal Caribean Cruise over 25 years ago. The Guy Merideth Trio played every night in the Atrium and at noon in various places on the ship. The Trio consisted of a Piano player, drummer and a bass player and they were really good. The kids fell asleep in our laps every night as we listened to them play till closing sipping on beer and wine.
Love this video. Especially talking about MISTAKES and knowing the blues! This next bit killed me: "Right out of the textbook!" But Herbie's playing WROTE the textbook. I know that you know this, but the viewer needs to know that Herbie was 23-27 when he was with Miles, and there were NO jazz textbooks! So yeah, the textbooks came AFTER this (at the time) groundbreaking playing. Also, those chromatic ii-Vs, they weren't common at the time. They were NEW! They became "same old, same old" after us guys and many before us learned WTF Herbie and Ron George Coleman did it! Only now is it common music parlance.
The first time I listened to this solo, I felt it was very abstract.(yes abstract!). It didn't have as many sharp and bright pentatonic scales as Chick Corea. But the more I listened to Herbie later, the more I felt how wonderful it was. His solo lines are like Tai Chi, as smooth as water, and it blends the harmonies very naturally.
Nice. I like studying the greats on familiar tunes; it makes it easier to see what they're doing. The reharms are comprehensible enough, but it requires practice to be able to pull them off while doing an upbeat improv. And more importantly, to become familiar enough with their sound to hear them in your head so that you want to insert them. If I complain that you're not swearing, will it balance out the guy who complained that you were?
Ah man, thanks so much for breaking this down. Herbie's solos on all the live Miles recordings are my all time favs!! Btw, what was the name of that book? I would love to buy it!

I’m still working hard on my solo lines going through the cycle playing 2-5-1’s and I found this really useful to study what he’s doing.
There’s altered tensions, and then there’s frickin altered tensions.
Always a good and fresh, and
Experience, a true Master!

This is so next level and awesome!!!!!!! I love your channel!!!!!!
really nice, someone with such a unique sound on a classic tune.
Frickin' awesome ... don't worry about the swearing, it adds color! Thank you Tony.
That’s a timeless solo still worth studying. I love the harmonic movement in his arpeggios. I’d love your thoughts on that. Many thanks
Great vid!
Thank you very much.
Thank you,Tony ⭐🌹⭐
