I came into this via an episode about Count Basie. Cool stuff! This is the ideal format: letting the music speak for itself, interlinked by some vital information. Great job. I'm gonna watch some more
Glad you found the channel. Inexplicably and occasionally a viewer complains that the musical cuts are too long. I'm not sure what the point of being interested in jazz history is if you don't want to listen to the music, but to each their own.
I liked both Coleman’s and Shorter’s playing (and Wayne’s compositions during his time with Miles) but reportedly Tony Williams didn’t care much for Coleman and would tell Miles after he finished his solos and walked away from the Mike: “Take George with you”! Oh, and I also appreciated Sam Rivers’ contribution during his (very) short time with Miles.
Can't wait for the next episode bc miles' electric period in the 70s is my favorite music ever. Miles was really exploring new directions in that time and despite being about half a century old at this point his heavy-jazz-funk-rock is still innovative. I've never heard any other band that's been able to come anywhere close to the energy and sound that miles and his group had in that decade.
Hey, thanks, man. It's wonderful to stumble across this on RUclips. I have been a fan of Miles Davis's music for almost 40 years, and I am particularly fascinated with the transition of his music in the early '60s into the second great quintet. I may be alone in saying that Coleman was my favourite saxophone player in his band during that era.
You are NOT alone. No denying that Wayne brought something different to the table--especially great compositions--but I especially loved George's sound and solos.
One other thought: that moment in the Germany 1967 video when Wayne moves up next to Tony near the end of Miles’ solo shows for me how tight they were as a unit by this point. The anticipation (along with the improvisation) is one reason why I love jazz music and Miles’ music especially.
The videos were originally done very quickly during Covid when I had to teach the course online. I eventually re-edited and re-released the series, including episodes that were never uploaded. I can't remember whether this is one of those.

Hard to imagine a teenage Tony Williams talking like that to Miles, but who knows.?

I understand the amazing things Wayne did, but I totally agree with you that I prefer George's tone and solos.
Thank you for posting! I always look forward to these history lessons and learn something new every time.
I learned a lot in making them!

With that group, a listener (and they) never knew what was coming next.
Wonderful…Thank you.
You're welcome!
This is a re-release, right?
