This song is called "Jean Pierre". Miles Davis (tp), John Scofield (g), Bob Berg (t sax), Robert Irving (synth), Darryl Jones (b), Vince Wilburn (d) and Steve Thornton (perc) live in Montréal, 1985.
@jgivler I love how he kept going to the front of the stage and, as soon as he started playing, he would gravitate right beside Scolfield again. Thar shit was funny.
At 3.06 Miles comes up with something beautiful and spontaneous ... where they were taking this was not any straight ahead sound ... and the way they build on the lines and keep it hanging!
Jean-Pierre une reprise d'une vieille berceuse française " Do do l'enfant do " . Un de mes oncles s'appelait Jean-Pierre. Je le prends comme un hommage. 😎
how do you guys view this superband: john scofield, miles davis, john coltrane, toots thielamans, jaco pastorious, and elvin jones? god that makes me feel all giddy inside just thinkin about it, although it'll never happen, its still a delicious thought
Franchement c'est du pur bonheur!!^^ Surtout le passage de Scofield, de la pure tuerie!!!!:-D Je voudrais bien savoir ou on pourrait avoir le DVD de ce live la
Why don't we get jazz programmes like this in the UK. The French are so civilised! Amazing stuff from an amazing line-up. The Stones must be boring as hell for the 'Munch'!
@thekidoftheyear Frank P. Zappa was a cameraman... 'the' Frank Zappa's middle name was Vincent, so I would imagine this cameraman had to go ahead and throw in the middle initial to avoid confusion
can someone please tell me what sco does from 6:52 to 6:58 to make miles nod in appreciation? does he use a special scale sequence? It sounds pretty good whatever it is.
I love the Miles Davis cds I have, with Flamenco sketches being one of my favorite songs. But I don't get this at all. I never thought I'd say this, but to me, this just sounds like noise half of the time.
What about this band: Miles Davis, John Scofield, Robert Berg, Robert Irving, Daryl Jones, Steve Thorton and Vince Wilburn? That is good for a fact, that can't be bad... ;)
he is a jazz master... like yoda at the nirvana :) he just take it easy, by giving only the key notes (less nots) -very slowly- thats real hard. You know what I mean?
There is def acid involved in this performance...1:26 there is something going on...Like he is taking something... Scofield is just waiting his time for the groove to develop... So is Miles, he knows its questionable at first but make the audience trust that it will bloom into something sick which it does... Sick pocket drumming and bass...
This is what happens when you stick 4 musical geniuses on stage after administering 10 hits of acid to each of them, lol, I am a huge jazz fusion fan, but watching this makes me wonder what the hell miles davis was on while this was being taped.
@TheRepented 3/3 it's not that respect, empathy, compession etc. can't make a better moral society - of course they will, but we are still very far from taking them as basic codes of morality. If we don't open our eyes to see where the BASIC codes are been broken than we will be in danger. We can't afford to look a side when knowing that someone doing this, just because he makes a great art. @SupernalOne: what is the power of giving great art with one hand and hitting with the other?
I'm not sure, guys like parker and trane would be totally hip with fusion. Doesn't mean that if they lived longer that they wouldn't have extended jazz realms even more. But I just not sure they would go for it. Most Bebop kats didn't. Look at Sonny Stitt, Phil Woods, Jackie Mclean, .. just a observation.
In my early 20's I had a poster of Miles in my room. I started to study Jazz and then discovered that he was beating his wives (and he had a few of them...unbelivable). I got back to my room and looked at the picture, thinking, how is it possible? I hadn't heard yet about the Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, so I couldn't get it. Today I know that pepole can have the highest musical intelligence but no (or a very undevelopled...) Interpersonal intelligence.
hahaha nah its chewing gum, miles was crazy on it he never stopped chewing it apparently, him and sco are probably jus laughin about it. miles was off drugs at this point like totally, its all in quincy troupes book "miles and me" check it out its great!
@TheRepented 2/3 I'm sorry but I can't enjoy art when I know that the artist has made such a crime. This isn't about judging his personality and deciding if i like the music or not. For instance, if I know that the artist in question is a rude person who has no respect for others I will still be able to enjoy his/her music, because it has got nothing to do to with my life and its the only the problem of the people who are personally close to the artist.
man, settle down...:) It depends on what you would want to achieve out of that...just putting an all-star band together doesn't mean that it's going to be a smash...
"Camera by Frank P Zappa"....... ORLY? @edcerc you must be completely tone-, rhythm-, soul-dead from the top of your empty head to the tips of your woolly slippers....
So yes, he could be very sensitive in his playing and with it had no sensitivity towards other pepole. In practice he was a shit. I took the poster of the wall, tore it to small pieces and threw it to the garbage. There will be no beating man in my room!!! This guy should have been locked in prison, not making such a career! it is unbelievable how our soceity is forgiving, loving and can forget all its basic principles of respect to others if someone has got an outstanding talent.
@Syllerud personally i find this performance... CRAP. It's not a single emotion in this rather than a fight of egos in brainless drug adicts. (I love many of Miles and John doings, i'm talking about THIS)
i am into all kinds of free improvisation and modern music but these guys sound like theyre just meandering around. This is so boring, plus that keyboard tone is lame as hell.
This song is called "Jean Pierre".
Miles Davis (tp), John Scofield (g), Bob Berg (t sax), Robert Irving (synth), Darryl Jones (b), Vince Wilburn (d) and Steve Thornton (perc) live in Montréal, 1985.
Brilliant. They don't call Scofield the master of tension for nothing. I love the way this guy mixes up his scale choices.
Well thats just to you. I love Flamenco Sketches and I love this shit just as much. Not better, not worse, just different.
I've never seen Scofield play so rock-hysterical before.
@jgivler
I love how he kept going to the front of the stage and, as soon as he started playing, he would gravitate right beside Scolfield again. Thar shit was funny.
love all the background keyboard work, the atmospheric feel, the way it picks up at 5:00 or so... very nice
Met Scofield in Birmingham after Miles died. He was devastated but talked about the who's who at the funeral. Miles certainly had a good send off.
Thiyis pure art...thi is a mantra!!!
miles was off his friggin rocker....but boy could he make that trumpet soar.
So good, it's almost eerie.
Fun to see Sco playing guitar hero- so used to his more laid back and tasteful recent stuff. He is quite the beast.
Just one word: Great!
So mysterious!!cool
Incredible
Sco - awesome as usual
amazing
i love how miles has his hand in his pocket
At 3.06 Miles comes up with something beautiful and spontaneous ... where they were taking this was not any straight ahead sound ... and the way they build on the lines and keep it hanging!
hahaha niceeeeee soo truu skwiidbrethh.... all in all SCOFieldd is just ridiculously amazinggg.. noff said :)

god that makes me feel all giddy inside just thinkin about it, although it'll never happen, its still a delicious thought
on a record it was sound great. in a big concert hall it's drowned out.
Franchement c'est du pur bonheur!!^^
Surtout le passage de Scofield, de la pure tuerie!!!!:-D
Je voudrais bien savoir ou on pourrait avoir le DVD de ce live la
Is anyone else kinda' distracted in a good way by this bassist?? He's totally the hub that everything else is revolving around here. Nice.
fuggin great
今夜はこれだな。ジョンスコ&マイルス、やっぱスゲ〜！
Why don't we get jazz programmes like this in the UK. The French are so civilised! Amazing stuff from an amazing line-up. The Stones must be boring as hell for the 'Munch'!
@Syllerud Oh it's really good alright. It's exciting, dynamic and unpredictable. And cool.
THAT WHY I DIG SCO!
i'd be afraid to play with miles
@OParvo Miles Davis - Live in Montreal 1985
'saw scofield in belgium not a long time ago... 'didn't he played with miles. Great musicians anyway! I also love the bass line...
Miles is like a haunted man - one chased in the shadows until...5:00, when Sco breaks out.
Name of the tune is Jean Pierre. It's normally played faster and more uplifting. Marcus Miller covers it on his album Free.
@jgivler
he was on another planet lol
@thekidoftheyear Frank P. Zappa was a cameraman... 'the' Frank Zappa's middle name was Vincent, so I would imagine this cameraman had to go ahead and throw in the middle initial to avoid confusion
Thats Darrel Jones on Bass, now the bass player for The Rolling Stones.
you don't dig this soooooper slooooow groove? ....... come on brah...
did you see at the end when they gave one of the camera credits to Frank Zappa?
is this music good or is it just because it's Miles Davis we tend to praise it?
damn son
LOL so true
can someone please tell me what sco does from 6:52 to 6:58 to make miles nod in appreciation? does he use a special scale sequence? It sounds pretty good whatever it is.
i see bob berg in the bgound!
that bass player is fucking good
I love the Miles Davis cds I have, with Flamenco sketches being one of my favorite songs. But I don't get this at all. I never thought I'd say this, but to me, this just sounds like noise half of the time.
Mortacci Scofield sono senza parole
Damn! The Bass Player creates the fattest hook at 6:00.
Does anyone know what the name of this song is?
how did he change the sound of the trumpet at 5:05?
What about this band:
Miles Davis, John Scofield, Robert Berg, Robert Irving, Daryl Jones, Steve Thorton and Vince Wilburn?
That is good for a fact, that can't be bad... ;)
Jean-pierre
My apologies to our friends across the pond! Of course I meant the Canadians are so civilised!!
what melody line is he playing here?
he is a jazz master... like yoda at the nirvana :) he just take it easy, by giving only the key notes (less nots) -very slowly- thats real hard. You know what I mean?

i think miles took the whole far out mysterious jazz musician a bit to far here, not really with the song, great groove, but with the way he acted
"Camera by Frank P Zappa"....... ORLY?
