On 25 September they also played at Portsmouth Guildhall. I was 10 so sadly didn't go (would I have got it then?). I'm sorry to report that the 'jazz' column in the local paper absolutely slated it.
As a young girl of 12 years old I would sit at the bottom step and listen to Miles Davis at my grandfather's house. No girls allowed upstairs in Uncle Michael's room. But I didn't care so long as the music was blasting! Very happy memories!🎺
Miles was soo inspired on this Tour.
I think this was the first tour without Coltrane. Miles got his Chops back on this tour. No broken Notes here.
Just perfection.!
Think Twice Your correct ( Miles, chops, this concert) I was at this concert, September 1960 ( 2nd house ) Free Trade Hall, ( its now a hotel ) Manchester, U.K.
Miles, what a fantastic Jazz musician/ Jazz personality.
Peace to all.
music is the only thing i don't get bored of
I feel happy to hear Miles' performance 60 years ago. What a novelty! What an elegance! He has created the history of jazz, but the work he left behind has captured our hearts.
I agree
I was at this concert! Still have the programme.
Amazing you were there. I was born 1959. I would like to hear your memories of seeing Miles and Stitt.
@@alankirkby465 thank you 🙏🏽 that was quite a time period and I missed it all. Sounds like a wonderful memory.
@@docsaxman It was a long time ago and I was very young. At that time there were many jazz musicians coming over from USA starting with the Stan Kenton orchestra in 1956. I saw them at King's Hall Manchester; they were fantastic and really turned me on to jazz at age 16. From then on I saw as many visiting bands as I could, Duke Ellington, Count Basie,Woody Herman as well as the small bands like Brubeck, Mulligan,MJQ. Also the Norman Grants and Harold Davison tours with stars like Oscar Peterson, Coleman Hawkins,Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Roy Eldridge, Lionel Hampton and many more including the.singers like Ella Fitzgerald Joe Williams, June Christie and Sarah Vaughn. Needless to say I was blown away by them all and Miles Davis was brilliant, such a different sound. I loved them all and still do. In1998 I was invited back stage at the Bridgwater Hall to meet Dave Brubeck, his wife and the rest of his quartet. Dave signed my programme and gave me a signed copy of his latest CD "So what's new", such a wonderful memory.
@@kevinedwardbarry2696 thanks for sharing that. Amazing times. It won’t happen again. I came into the scene much later. Great stuff.
Still sound greats
Miles always set the coolest tempo’s. Four just swings and swings from the first bar. His Fourvsolo is one of his best.
And with the Kelly-Chambers-Cobb rhythm section working away, it sometimes feels like one exhilarating roller coaster ride!
jeffery perkins cool solo here.
Miles just always had what I think of as this clean, precise, high-tech sound, so satisfying.
I was seven months old God it’s been good to me
Wow! Recorded the date i was born! Great music. Happy 60th to me !
Peter Motta Hello Peter, I was at this Miles, concert, Free Trade Hall,Manchester,uk in 1960. ( I lived in Manchester, at that time)
I was 20 years of age at that time.
Peace to all.
@Peter Motta I too was being born, 7 miles away, while this was happening. Its aged better than I have.
Just found your channel. Much respect Sir
Miles davis is one of the great pillars in classic and modern jazz hes been tremendous in classic modern and jazz fusion truly an universal icon 👌 👏
Sonny Stitt's eloquent solos captured the mood!
Why doesn´t anyone praise Sonny Stitt - a wonderful solo!
Yes, indeed, but Stitt was always fiercely competitive; and on this occasion he really had to rise to Davis' marvellously challenging solos, which he most certainly did. Just wish I'd been there in the Free Trade Hall on the night.
@@blue47er Hello to you, I was at this Miles, concert (2nd house) Free Trade Hall ( now a hotel)Manchester, 1960.
I was 20 years of age at that time. When I was appx 18 years of age got very interested in Miles/ Sonny Rollins/ Coltrane/ Monk/ Bud, etc.
What really I find pleasing!! after all these years many people are about who love this great music !!
I have posted similar comments on this site.
Peace to all !!
@@alankirkby465. At the time of the concert I was with the RAF in Germany. I was at opening night at Ronnie Scott's Gerard St club in 1959 as I was at RAF Uxbridge at the time. I also had the pleasure of hearing Zoot Sims on two nights at Ronnie's when he came for a month in 1961. Jazz has been my constant companion since the early 1950s.
He's viewed as derivative, an updated Bird, so critics have that to complain about. But - ever tried playing his lies?
My Dad saw the London date of this tour with this lineup.
Wow.
Soo crazy good ... they will never pass this way again... so enjoy
Maybe some young upstarts will take up where these greats left off.
Smiles on Miles 😄, a real Prince!🎺💎🤴
Nice to hear Sonny Stitt playing on this one!! Swings !!!!
One of Miles' most underrated and best groups together w. Quintet with Hank Mobley and later George Coleman. Great repertoire and swing!
I agree that Sonny Stitt was not into modal music, but he was a fabulous saxophonist, both on alto and tenor, which is extraordinary in itself. I like what Davis and Stitt did together very much even though they did not seem to get along.
H. Mobley and S. Stitt were fired by Davis for different reasons. G. Coleman left the group due to differences of all kinds with Davis.
@@lawrencemuller8972 Generally, Bop musicians did not like playing modal jazz, they found it very boring. Stitt and Davis did not get along and Miles fired him on the grounds that Sonny drank too much.
This is quite an earful ...audio caffeine. THANKS! for the upload, and the speed correction.
You've made a nice overview of the tour!
To me this is a dream set.
See the excellent description above. With queue links even!
Обожаю джаз Майлза Дэвиса! Он гений джаза! Лучший джазовый трубач! Его музыка пробуждает мечты. Поднимает над суетой и повседневностью высоко-высоко. Помогает жить и любить жизнь.
Thanks In Advance...!!!
Hey, how about "Walkin'" ?!! That should've been called "Kickin'!!" And that "conversation" between Miles and drummer Jimmy Cobb -- to describe it as "lively" would be a major understatement!
So soothing
Ana Maria Azucena Arevalo Hello ?
I love Miles Jazz's
Thank you for sharing ❤👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
The fabulous sound of the Great Quintet
Oh thank Gods of Jazz ‼️
grandioso miles
This is fucking great, I've never heard this concert before!
Great!
Miles is top here.
I was there!
Four is upstairs!! ........ 😊
Miles un grand Monsieur toujours égal a lui-même
Miles n'a rien composé
👍👍👍
fascinating... true that Stitt was not right for Miles new modal sound, but last time he worked with a straight ahead bop saxophonist
Wrong on both points. - 1 Stiit was not wrong for the "modal sound" but those one/ two chord tunes were not right for Stitt and they did not age very well.
2) In 1963 Miles worked with with George Coleman - an excellent straight ahead bop saxophonist in one of his greatest groups ever. Check it out!
@@vova47 true but Colman adapted his approach to the modal very well, such as NY Philharmonic concert
@@vova47 "1 Stiit was not wrong for the "modal sound" but those one/ two chord tunes were not right for Stitt and they did not age very well. "
that's how to say thata Stitt wasn't right for modal sound... exactly what Damon said. and this is unquestionable just as saying that Louis Armstrong wasn't able for bebop. it is not an insult is a matter of fact. And Sonny Stitt isn't Louis Armstrong, not an inch of him.
"they did not age well" your opinion... mine is opposite and a wide part of jazz hystory went in that direction. I think that II V I sequences are boring and didn't age well, but great musicians could make mircacles with them...
emilianoturazzi
Guys: None of the tunes recorded here are modal. They are great standard chord change tunes played impeccably by both miles and Stitt.
@@jefferyperkins4668 So What

Thanks for this. What a wonderful document of that period. Was this a regional BBC recording?
According to discographies, this was an audience recording. If that's true it's quite a good one.
@@alankirkby465 What a great thing to have seen. And yes, a PA mix seems quite a likely source.
@@MilestonesArchive yep, sounds like a 'board' mix to me.
あのフリートレードホールがこんなにクリアな音質で楽しめるなんて、良い世の中になったもんじゃ。のぅ、婆さんや。
Your Grandmother ? Please elaborate !
By the way, I was at this Miles, concert, Free Trade Hall, Manchester, in 1960.
I lived in Manchester, at that time.
Anyway, Peace to all!!
Correction, please: Sonny Stitt plays alto sax on both takes of "Four". Not tenor!
Am I imagining it or at 26:51 do I hear a hint of Jean-Pierre?
Clearly I’m not a musician . The comments let me Sonny Stitt was a soloist. Great! Who is on piano and bass?
Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers.The personnel on our videos is always listed in the notes and at the beginning and end of the video. Sonny was indeed great!
Pero se echa mucho de menos. Del otro modo comía chocolates, helados. Comía todo el pan que quería con un montón de aceite de oliva y tomate. Era la solución para que el ayuno intermitente resultase atractivo.
Tenés razón
Sabría que alguien me comprendería. Gracias
調子良いです。🙄
Life itself praying for the Palestine
Sonny is great but he licks oriented playing is very predictable and not suitable match to Miles who is more risk taking. Sonny is a suitable matchup to Dizzy Gillespie.
Listen to Miles’s Masterpiece Solo on Well you needn’t
followed Sonny’s Solo.
Sonny is technical Good but his Solo lines are a Series of try a fails.
But sonny Stitts Solo on Autumn leaves is cool . Suitable for his lick oriented circle sequencial harmonic playing. Very predictable.
I do agree with you. Miles has recorded with Lee Konitz in 1949 and had been moving ahead to more linear approaches combined with chromaticism and approach tones etc and it makes all folks who play a vertical up and down lick oriented approach sound out of place. After Trane Miles couldn’t find a player that was keeping up with where he was going. Miles also had the hippest time and note choices. People who think that what he plays is EASY are painfully mistaken. Thumbs up.
@@docsaxman I know. Each time Stitt starts playing I go get myself a coffee. I can almost always Sing what he gonna play next...
In school a lot of Players would tell me to Miles is not a great trumpeter.
I asked them to Transcripts one of these solos here and play.
WHAT I DISCOVERD WITH MILES IS THAT HE COULD ALSO PLAY MORE AND COMPLEX LIKE THE OTHER PLAYERS, But he chose to Play less making the most Music out of it. He could play high too( when he practiced💪🏽) .
A great musician.
Miles trying to play What’s not there,
Sonny playing what is there....
@Mark Schultz I love Stitt, but with Miles’s Band , Stitt is just a good match. We all Know who the Perfect Matches were…
@Mark Schultz that’s not silly,
Sonny Stitt ‚s approach is different from what orhers sax players like Coltrane or Shorter would do on a this band. There’s no competitive thought in my Comment. Great lines , great licks ,
If I comment that. STITT IS GREAT HERE , you will be happy, Right !!!?
Listen to Stitt on well you needn’t or So What‚„ Modal is not his thing!! Sorry.
Any Tenor from that era could as well be on that Tour bro.
Miles was soo inspired on this Tour.
I think this was the first tour without Coltrane. Miles got his Chops back on this tour. No broken Notes here.
Just perfection.!
I was there!
Amazing! Any special memories of the event?
@@MilestonesArchive It totally slaughtered me!
