Hearing this Band, is like talking to Shakespeare the day after he wrote “Macbeth”. Perfection ❤exists only in the intent of the Artist(s) but achieved only beyond the experiencing of that intent through piercing the motivating expectations.
I really appreciate you. Your channel is a blessing to me. You have shared just about every Second Great Quintet recording that is available. Thank you so much!
I share your raw sentiment, with only a revision of the word”was” to “is”, because with modern technology the past can be present with the only but important difference being 41:41 is our ability to hear in the present offers us greater clarity and understanding of what was taken place. I am thankful each day that Ron is still with us and this performance allows us to hear a Ron and other Band members t😊
Play at a level that could only be achieved in this musical environment. 50 years later and the zenith of musical attainment is still being responded to in awe.Miles knew he had to go in another direction and in another musical form to continue to eschew cliches( a mindset).
Greatness fails to adequately describe what I am listening to.Dickens, Shakespeare, Mozart, Pyramids, Manhattan Project, and Silicon Valley all po😊int to the achievements of this Band.Great photographs mirror the mysteries of each musician; how else can this be explained?
I do appreciate the way you mentioned the 'LostQuintet' meeting the "Wall of Sound" that came from the 'NewThing' cadre of musicians! I can respect the music that these players (including John Coltrane and Albert Ayers) created...but other than Fusion, I think that '69 Band was the FARTHEST Jazz ever reached. Many Directions in Jazz? Yes. But DISTANCE?!? 'THE LOST QUINTET!!!'
@@MilestonesArchive He was certainly great! His playing was severely underestimated. Check it out on Tim Hagans' "Audible Architecture" on Blue Note for a small touch.
@@MilestonesArchive Thanks for the shout to Tim. More "directions" in the Miles Davis canon. As Miles was moving forward into more deconstruction of his musical forays into improvised rock & funk forms. Thanks.
I wished! That's one of those Holy Grail recordings. Apparently it was officially recorded by Columbia but, if it exists, it's languishing in the vaults.
Is this performance commercially available on CD? That 1967 tour of Europe was incredible; all the performances from that tour that I've heard are fantastic. They gave it everything they could to highly appreciative audiences. We're lucky that so many concerts were well recorded by radio or television stations. I highly recommend Live in Europe 1967: The Bootleg Series Vol. 1, which has 3 CDs and a DVD of several concerts from that tour. Like this performance, the whole band is on fire!
It's been issued as a bootleg, _Helsinki, Finland Nov 1, 1967_ on the Japanese Eternal Grooves label (EGHO-009). Probably pricey even if you manage to track it down.
IMO, Second Great Quintet was the one w.Hank Mobley, Wynton Kelly. PC and Jimmy Cobb. The third Great Quintet (and arguably the best one) was the one with George Coleman. This one is a distant fourth.😎 Thanks for sharing!
As you referenced the London date, is there footage (audio or video) of it??? I would think it would be as important a document as the rest of the TOUR, if not a banner one. Please follow up with an answer, even better, a post of it if it exists. I have searched and wondered for years about the London date. Thanks for this immaculately upgraded sound rendering.
Great post with the exception of Carter's bass tone which for me doesn't quite fit . It's too prominent and could have been made softer when the sound was engineered . It has a booming quality that I find disruptive .
The recording of it seems strange, I attempted to tame it a little but there seems little in the low midrange register that gives the bass its presence and warmth. Disappointing, when the 1964 Helsinki show had been recorded so well.
Ron is a master and his tone is both cerebral and post a counterpoint to Herbie and Tony. Columbia engineers were masters of capturing the true sound of this Band. The history of jazz summed-up in one set. The musical equivalent of the Manhattan Project- genius at every turn!!

Thank you!
Brings back some great memories with some great guys... Thanks for sharing :)
Thank YOU, Mr. Carter!

Gruuuuuuusome with a capital Awwwwwwwwsome!!! The ultimate confluence of true artistic geniuses performing as one...exciting magic!!!!

Definitely exciting. Telepathic & cohesive.
Musician magazine called Miles Davis
"the GREATEST OF THEM ALL."
Yeah.
Him and DUKE!
YES!!!
A wonderful reminder how great this quintet was! Thank you.

After the join whit Trane this is my favorite Miles Davis ensamble.

09:26 . Miles quotes "Sous le ciel de Paris" - Cute!!😉
Good spot!
It makes me wonder if Ms. Greco was in attendance that evening.
Knockout. Many thanks again! J
Wonderful! You've done a great job. Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks for posting, one heck of a quintet.
Fantastic !
Thank you so much for posting this, sounds amazing!
Thank you, as usual, ghost of Bob Belden ;)
Honoured just to be mentioned alongside the great Mr. B.

@@steverickenbacher7110 Yes, I like the stuff he did with Hagans. The spirit of Miles hangs over that music.
Have you come across the April 19, 1968 concert at Berkeley?

I disagree. But I think you should clarify your reasoning.
All great bands, for sure.
No Band swung with that focus and intensity.

I know of a 21 minute audience tape (audio) that includes five tunes, none of them complete. I have never found it, although I will keep a look out.
@@MilestonesArchive Great! Hit me with a message if and when you do please! Thanks!
@@rodneygolden2796 Will do!
Catch opener,,,,GaGa?

@@MilestonesArchive Thanks for your reply and understanding my comment regarding the quality of the sound regarding the bass tones .
just shut up and appreciate it
Ron is a master and his tone is both cerebral and post a counterpoint to Herbie and Tony. Columbia engineers were masters of capturing the true sound of this Band. The history of jazz summed-up in one set. The musical equivalent of the Manhattan Project- genius at every turn!!
A valid point but TBH I'll take all the bass I can get, having long ago descended into transcription madness . . .
