Between 1969-1970, Miles Davis employed these musicians who went on to form five of the greatest fusion bands: Weather Report, Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul; Mahavishnu Orchestra, John McLaughlin and Billy Cobham; The Headhunters, Herbie Hancock, Bennie Maupin; The Trio of Doom The Tony Williams Lifetime, Tony Williams, John McLaughlin; and Return to Forever, Chick Corea, Lenny White.
When people talk about great drummers, how is Jack DeJohnette not mentioned more? He’s the perfect bridge from older jazz to the new fusion era. And a fine pianist.
First few seconds of hearing the drums come in I knew it was Jack. He’s instantly recognizable and never underestimated in my world. Great pianist and composer.
This to me is as far as jazz went. So fresh, so alive, and searching. Further, I think it's Chick's best, hippest, most creative period. A year after he made Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. Just Wow.
Some of the greatest music ever made. Miles, running. He mostly walked, or trotted elegantly, from time to time he’d break into a run. This is Miles, running. I can’t keep up.
Easy to look ahead of your time when you employ young musicians and put your name on their compositions. Blues licks with half the notes cracked or missed over one chord, that's a Miles Davis tune.
Ever since the first time I've heard Miles Davis playing, his total commitment to his art has fascinated me. It is a show of clear and true exercise of creativity every single time that he has his trumpet, a real master of his craft. It is sad that I will never have a chance to see this live, in person.
First time I heard the Bitches Brew album it was an instantly transformative adventure. I was mesmerized and transfixed to what was unfolding. Felt like I was listening to music from the far future. Could almost be the soundtrack for Logan's Run. Never felt such a powerful and instant connection with an album. What a visionary.
I always considered Miles in the Sky and In A Silent Way "fusion" predominantly, albeit psychedelic influenced. This era was probably maximum psychedelic fusion era, not that that's even an established genre.
My late dad's favourite artist. He saw him 1950s Newcastle upon Tyne in concert city hall. I was apparently going to be named after him 😊. Rip dad and miles ♥
Wow.....just wow! RIP Chick. I am glad I was lucky enough to have seen all of these incredible players (but Miles) over the years at the Monterey Jazz Festival in my backyard.......I love this era of Miles!
@@buxtehude123 apples and oranges. Miles music was based upon improv rifffing off what the other players were doing. That is the essence of jazz Imo. There may have been moments in Ludwig Vans life when he did improv and roofing with other musicians. Of course we can never know that.
@@buxtehude123 Beethoven is definitely in the conversation. The other two merely virtuosos. Virtuosity is ten a penny, you gotta have something to say. Miles had something to say. Too many people confuse virtuosity with musicianship. Miles wasn't a technically top drawer trumpeter but he was a once-in-a-lifetime musical innovator. Try looking beyond the fast fingers.
it's taken me a long while to fully appreciate what dave holland was doing on the 'bull fiddle' coz i just LOVE the sound of the electric bass and how it shaped miles' bands throughout the 70's - but he plays some lovely stuff when you can hear him properly!
@@TheDifferentMe Nah, they were set to do a collaboration but death got in the way. You know who else couldn't read music: Eddie Van Helen and Glen Campbell. They did alright too. The ear is more important than the eyes in music.

Ça vraiment été une belle période, très créative et on sent leur volonté de recherche et de trouver une autre voie. Tous les musiciens sont ici excellents. Je suis seulement surpris qu'ils aient conservé la structure classiques des solos qui s'enchaînent. Toutefois, la musique n'a pas vieilli et s'écoute avec intérêt.
@@tonymartin6199 Thank you. So would Mile's have discussed this with Chick in advance? How did they fall on this combination of scales together? I am trying to grasp the theory behind it. They are not playing diatonically, so how are they steering the musical ship?
There would have been a general group idea of the scales going into the performance. Each performer would then go “outside” as they felt the song requirrd

that's Jack Dejohnette.
So true- my university paper in 1975 was based entirely on the "offspring" of Miles' Electric period
Yes
Sheeeit this ain't Wikipedia muthf ..relax on that cold sterile fact dropping shit and get a woman and vibe offa this dope ass shit
@@davidjperkins1710 University paper?? White devil destroying jazz ..making it accedemic and sterile

looked like a very young Chick Corea.
@@tomjensen618 no, i mean DeJohnette is a pianist too. I know that’s Chick….
First few seconds of hearing the drums come in I knew it was Jack. He’s instantly recognizable and never underestimated in my world. Great pianist and composer.
There all great players
I didn’t know Jackie Dee was also a piano player. He’s a decent guitarist as well.
As a time traveler from 500 years into the future, I came back to tell you that nothing better than this has been created since.
I want to believe 😂
LOL LOL
Thanks for letting us know.
Good god. I must have listened to this song a million times. Never once did it occur to me that anyone was crazy enough to play it live.
i mean, it's all mostly improvised. both on the record and live.
Isn't jazz the liveliest expression, by definition?
Members:
Trumpet-Miles Davis
Drums-Jack DeJohnette
Bass-Dave Holland
Keyboard-Chick Corea
Saxophone- Wayne Shorter
Talk about an All Star line up ---- wish we had more musicians like this today!
Même formation qu’à Antibes juillet 1969.
Pity he had to make do w/this second string line-up. Wait...
Dave Holland recorded a Jam in New York with Jimi Hendrix , John McLaughlin and Buddy Miles. You can view it here on RUclips.
Thank you for posting this info!

Miles Davis. The more you listen, the more you hear. He was a genius.
Jack de Johnette on drums
Dave Holland on bass!
The drummer is always the hardest worker in the band !!!!!!!!!!
Good god, everyone in this band is a genius. Unreal.
You speak truth
The greatest innovator of all time.
Miles Davis was always ahead of all his contemporaries.

The Godlike Genius of Miles Davis, and His Dress Sense.
He stops playing at the 0:10 , and then he just thinks, he triest to get into the music, and then just come up with that so well deliverated note...
First time I heard the Bitches Brew album it was an instantly transformative adventure. I was mesmerized and transfixed to what was unfolding. Felt like I was listening to music from the far future. Could almost be the soundtrack for Logan's Run. Never felt such a powerful and instant connection with an album. What a visionary.
The Apple Watch he’s wearing proves Miles was a time traveler.
By 69 he had done everything & was on the verge of deciding to make Fusion. This is quiet before that storm.
I always considered Miles in the Sky and In A Silent Way "fusion" predominantly, albeit psychedelic influenced. This era was probably maximum psychedelic fusion era, not that that's even an established genre.
A great band leader with 4 other great band leaders equals one incredible group.
My late dad's favourite artist. He saw him 1950s Newcastle upon Tyne in concert city hall. I was apparently going to be named after him 😊. Rip dad and miles ♥
Gan on bonny lad
Miles Was Way Ahead of The Curve! WooF!
There is Only One! WooF!
Wayne and Chick are way out ahead on this. Incredible.
Completely blows my mind every time I watch this
Such style. If I could own any type of rock/jazz memorabilia, it would be Miles' sunglasses collection
Flat out extraordinary. We'll never see anything like this again..
Wow.....just wow! RIP Chick. I am glad I was lucky enough to have seen all of these incredible players (but Miles) over the years at the Monterey Jazz Festival in my backyard.......I love this era of Miles!
Truth never dies. Talent is immortal.
shorter's solo was crazy. voodoo crazy.
Shorter is straight up scary
Mind blowing!
Scent of freedom in every note. Perfect.
Great example of timeless talent
The Master!!......nobody did it better on the
trumpet ......pure genius!...what a great band playing with him,,,,,,
Louis Armstrong, Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy; among a few trumpeters better than Miles.
@@ckbennetttn the semplicity and groove that he had like no One
@@ckbennetttnTechnically better, yes. Musically, creatively, as a communicator, Miles was decades ahead of those guys.
Jack DeJohnette- drums
Dave Holland- bass
Chick Corea- electric piano
Wayne Shorter- soprano saxophone
Miles Davis- trumpet
...
for those who wondered
Greatest musician of all time Miles "The Goat" Davis
The goat???
@@monsterjazzlicks the greatest of all time
Very good jazz player. That's all. Players like Beethoven Horowitz and Paganini could easily run Miles outta town.

Never seen this video before. Amazing stuff. Miles had so many badass bands through the years. Pretty crazy lineup.
That solo from Chick Corea was insane!!!
They mesh together like gears in a finely oiled machine. I love this 😍💗🌅🌞.
Thank you Miles, allways forever
Colourful Miles!
I wonder if any one of them ever thought to themselves, Good god I’m a member of the best band in the world
it's taken me a long while to fully appreciate what dave holland was doing on the 'bull fiddle' coz i just LOVE the sound of the electric bass and how it shaped miles' bands throughout the 70's - but he plays some lovely stuff when you can hear him properly!
A pure genius !!!!!!
most epic song title ever
C'est tout simplement génialissime. On adore Miles, ce génie du 20ème siècle....
This style of improvisation takes more creativeness and more risk taking, I love it!
Imagine if on stage was also Hendrix with band , with zero stage tricks , just focusing on waves of music
I read that they had to make some music together, but Miles found out that Jimi could not read music, so things went differently 🥺
@@TheDifferentMe Nah, they were set to do a collaboration but death got in the way. You know who else couldn't read music: Eddie Van Helen and Glen Campbell. They did alright too. The ear is more important than the eyes in music.
He was a jazz genius
I miss 1969
Miles the Rock Star.
great great music
This is jazz. Seminal musicians.
He always knew what to play......
All the pretty colors of the 60’s
I fuckin LOVE Miles Davis!!!🙌🏾
MILES IS MY GOOD OF JAZZ MUSIC
Somehow this is even better than the record...
R I p chick. Miles best band. Chick electric piano at its finest
What a great quality! Fantastic, thanks for uploading!
Great band
🔥🔥🔥
todos são feras, agora o baterista é muito bom e maneja bem a bateria. muito bom mesmo.!
Thanksss....!!!
Heavy.
When Tony kicks in, that's it. It's his voice.
It's Jack
Oh, sorry
@@kdoran04
Some people just refuse to listen and enjoy
WAYNE!!!!
Holland's hair and beard match his jumper! 😁

Yes
still love it!!
RIP Chick. I think he won the solo contest lol
Да! Классно!!!
Top !🥂
Wayne is undefeated
Gênio
Were those who disliked the video expecting a better band?
They might’ve been expecting something that resembled the record. It’s my favorite tune in bitches brew but I don’t recognize it here
Were those who dislike the dislikes expecting a different RUclips.😕
The truth is Miles Davis .. I get the impression of not knowing music.

Wayne's solo though holy fuck
It's what I imagine the sonic equivalent of scurrying insects sounds like
🐐🔥🔥🔥
😍
Ah...is that guy playing keyboards Chick Corea ? Didn’t know that 🤔
Radiohead tomo pieza de esta obra de arte y la convirtió en otra obra de arte ❤(kinetic)

Those hands though, good grief, that’s Rajon Rondo territory there
It's like static in the attic.
Chick Corea's playing is incredible here. What key/scale is this tune?
i believe its an F mixolydian mode w minor pentatonic thrown in half if not most the time, of course with intense ass chromatism throughout
@@tonymartin6199 Thank you. So would Mile's have discussed this with Chick in advance? How did they fall on this combination of scales together? I am trying to grasp the theory behind it. They are not playing diatonically, so how are they steering the musical ship?

I think this was the longest 9 minutes of my life.
I think perhaps Coltrane ran even faster at times. But not many kept up with this. This is fucking out there.
Wayne Shorter Jack DeJohnette , Dave Holland, Chic Corea! WooF!
great! - is the whole concert on youtune ...
cool💋💋💋💋
Have we progressed?
Miles Davis' backup drummer's backup drummer was better than your frontman, probably.
Looks like Bob Ross on the Bass ;-)
0:11 guess this was one of his historic heroin filled concerts lol.
What’s the lineup here?
slt cool t a musique marlou jazz en mpromosion
