Just listened to all of Miles Davis Band in Tokyo. That was quite an experience. I felt like I was taken on a real musical journey. Everyone was very engaged and very focused on bringing musical life to their instrument. It's amazing what you can do with 12 notes on a scale. I felt the essence of jazz manifest itself during this performance but Miles went beyond that. He used timbre just as much as he used melody. I've heard his older material like "So What" but this was something totally new to my ears. I just let go and went on the journey. I liked everything very much, but really got into the last song played the most. I loved how the tempo changed back and forth. I loved how"quiet" but intense the song was. It's almost like he wanted you to bend your ear to listen on purpose. Mind blown...
That rhythm section, keeping the beat down! Just want to crank it up and yell! Who knew at the time what a great vocalist Michael Henderson was? Bought his solo albums back in the day, starting with 'Solid'.
Michael HENDERSON my favorite miles davis find! the walls changed when he got MICHAEL HENDERSON!! MUSIC THAT STAYS FREASH EVEN TODAY IT'S STILL GOT-IT!! I WISH MICHAEL WOULD WRITE HIS MEMOIRS OF THIS TIME ,LIKE WHEN DUKE ELLINGTON WISHED THEM GOOD LUME ON ONE OF THE MANY EUROPEAN TOURS OR HE TUNED THAT LOWER E-STRING TO A D!! OR NOT TO FOLLOW KIETH JARRET, AND ALL THAT INTRICATE PLAY WIT REGGIE LUCAS,MTUME,AL FOSTER ,AND DOMINIC GAUMONT ,AND PETE COSEY NO-DOUBT IT WOULD BE A BEST SELLER..ALL THOSE GREAT SONGS MICAEL HAS PENNED! GOD IS ALWAYS BLESSING US IN LOTS-WAYS AND MUSIC LIKE THIS IS A BLESSING TO THE WORLD !!
Michael, I am still amazed at how much in sync you all were as a band!.A little drum solo here, a little trumpet riff there, and you all automatically go into another groove...it's amazing!
Saw this band shortly before this. I saw them at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles with Ms. Nina Simone, The Last Poets, & The Ujima Ensemble with Reggie Andrews.
I'm listening to the last selection (Zimbabwe) Michael and am amazed at your bass runs when the song changed pace...wow! You make your bass sound like you're playing an upright!
Wow! It appears that nearly every Great artist that I have listened to for the last 50+ years went through the school of Miles!!! Micheal Henderson, Stanley Clark, Marcus Miller, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, and so many others that I would be typing for two days just trying to name them. Although I have heard that Miles was a challenge to work with and for. He demanded perfection! Therefore crafting the best possible musicians to surround himself. It had to have been a major Blessing to be in his presence, even if it didn’t feel like it at that time... I have also heard that some Angles are that way. Hard to deal with due to their low tolerance of less than perfection. They say Prince was also hard to work for. I can’t classify anyone as angelic, but their talent is truly God sent! Again you have expanded my mind to new levels... Thank you Mr. Henderson.
This band laid a smouldering cauldron of Doom Funk and electric fusion behind Miles Davis from pretty much '72 to '75. Other than horn with Leibman and Fortune this lineup was virtually unchanged and they were hot 🔥.
Michael… my favourite Jazz album of all time is A tribute to Jack Johnson. Absolutely love that Album! If I may ask…..what was it like being in that moment with you and Billy Cobham locked in like that? The groove the two of you threw down before Miles enters with those crazy high blasts was absolutely game changing. I’ll never forget the chills I got the first time I heard that needle drop on Right Off. I was mesmerized Sir❤
FYI Reggie Lucas produced Madonna and Michael Henderson had a R&B vocal hit “You are my Starship”. James Mtume was also a great R&B artist and producer as well.
Wow, this was the first Miles set I saw (at Pease auditorium) party on the corner in high school, Holly-Wuud style , big fun awesome time. Thank you Mr. Henderson.
I played with Pete Cosey in Chicago for 2 years for the Black Ensemble Theater and opened Lou Rawls. Pete didn’t drive so I drove him to the gigs and rehearsals. I talked to him extensively and he reviewed by original compositions. He wouldn’t give me any formal lessons but taught me at rehearsals different chord inversions etc. Pete Cosey could play bass and read music flawlessly! I didn’t know he was on gig until he entered rehearsal and everyone called out his name! I was flabbergasted and in awe! I have more recollections too many for this thread. Pete lived in Arizona with his mother for 10 years FYI.. Warren Bingham🎸 took Reggie Lucas’ place 1973? I know Warren...a Another Chicago cat. 🎸🎼🎵🎶😀👏🏾👀🎺🎷🎻🥁🎹🎤
Chicago Bassist/Trombonist EWF Louis Satterfield played the "out of this world" basslines on the Fontella Bass song, "Rescue Me!" He and Pete Cosey were GREAT friends playing in the Chess records rhythm section, which included Maurice White on drums...
if someone could annotate the setlist it would be greatly appreciated! I’m very new to Miles and his music and would love to start learning these songs by name
Miles I am a white jewish jazz saxophone player. Could U explain me what I am doing in this Funk band playing with all these black guys? People like to see your fingers moving fast on the saxophine, Dave. 😎
Wow, that’s pretty wildly uninformed. Japan is one the most sonically adventurous nations in the world - both in the music that is loved and the music that is created. There is fantastic Japanese rock, psychedelia, progressive, ambient, metal, avant-garde/noise and incredible jazz - much of it totally far out. There are whole record stores with nothing but jazz. You’re missing out on a lot of Japanese culture. Careful with the xenophobic stereotypes.
I've lived in Japan. There's your public face, and then there is your private life. That being said Miles Davis is not popular there. They like John Coltrane. These recordings came about because Yamaha had started to sponsor Miles. Once Miles made Mike play a Yamaha bass.
Miles didn’t do bossa novas you uninformed goof. And this period of his music was not him trying to channel Hendrix, it was a melding of Miles’s own concepts with elements from Hendrix, James Brown, Sly Stone, Stockhausen, Ornette Coleman, and African music. Do the knowledge before letting your words reveal your foolishness.
Is this mostly material from "In Concert"? I like that you can tell it's headed towards what the material for Pangaea/Agharta sounds like.

There was a time whrn our TV aired this music. We have degenerated... Thank you Mr. Henderson.
Iam proud and very sad at the same time about that comment.
Rest In Peace ☮️ Michael Henderson.

RIP, Michael Henderson.
MICHAEL is a beast on the bass.. A true legend.
One of my favorite bands! Thank you!
Pete cosey is on a different level.. Never shy to really push the envelope

So blown away by your musicianship Michael
The best player Bass Mr Henderson 22 years old
I experienced this band 3x in 1973...a surpassing set of performances.
I think Miles loved for his musicians to be aware and on their toes, all di time.
Henderson keeping that groove!!

Belle découverte. ......
Awesome...i saw Miles in the 80s several times in Tokyo,
My favorite bass player/band in action!!! That bass run you start at 48:50 and end on 50:50 during Zimbabwe was on point!
This is sick... Thanks for sharing!

huge help!
This was a very forward charging band in the Late Era.
if someone could annotate the setlist it would be greatly appreciated! I’m very new to Miles and his music and would love to start learning these songs by name
Miles smi les 🎶🎵
MUCH RESPECT
🔥
This started on 1.5x for me and I'm all, 'holy shit, miles started DnB too?' lol.
something about this vid makes it looks like it was shot in '83 instead of '73
Miles' hot pink pants are definitely '75 LOL

What name this song?
Give me a heart but don' answer?🙄
Something about 1969 though.. the most hybrid
40:26
Now imagine that with pat metheny at guitar
This is the kind of music that drives me round the bend. Absolutely disturbing .....
I just can't imagine Japanese people diggin this ... in 70s or now ...... I picture Japan as being super super straight and square ......

Miles seemed to be loved everywhere!
Miles was trying to channel Jimi Hendrix and didn't even come close. Stick to those Bossa Nova's my guy.
Pete Cosey’s guitar playing blows Hendrix out of the building. This music is tougher and deeper than anything Hendrix ever came up with.
Miles didn’t do bossa novas you uninformed goof. And this period of his music was not him trying to channel Hendrix, it was a melding of Miles’s own concepts with elements from Hendrix, James Brown, Sly Stone, Stockhausen, Ornette Coleman, and African music.
