This song is called "Jean Pierre". Miles Davis (tp), John Scofield (g), Bob Berg (t sax), Robert Irving (synth), Darryl Jones (b), Vince Wilburn (d) and Steve Thornton (perc) live in Montréal, 1985.
@jgivler I love how he kept going to the front of the stage and, as soon as he started playing, he would gravitate right beside Scolfield again. Thar shit was funny.
Jean-Pierre une reprise d'une vieille berceuse française " Do do l'enfant do " . Un de mes oncles s'appelait Jean-Pierre. Je le prends comme un hommage. 😎
At 3.06 Miles comes up with something beautiful and spontaneous ... where they were taking this was not any straight ahead sound ... and the way they build on the lines and keep it hanging!
Why don't we get jazz programmes like this in the UK. The French are so civilised! Amazing stuff from an amazing line-up. The Stones must be boring as hell for the 'Munch'!
how do you guys view this superband: john scofield, miles davis, john coltrane, toots thielamans, jaco pastorious, and elvin jones? god that makes me feel all giddy inside just thinkin about it, although it'll never happen, its still a delicious thought
Franchement c'est du pur bonheur!!^^ Surtout le passage de Scofield, de la pure tuerie!!!!:-D Je voudrais bien savoir ou on pourrait avoir le DVD de ce live la
@thekidoftheyear Frank P. Zappa was a cameraman... 'the' Frank Zappa's middle name was Vincent, so I would imagine this cameraman had to go ahead and throw in the middle initial to avoid confusion
This is what happens when you stick 4 musical geniuses on stage after administering 10 hits of acid to each of them, lol, I am a huge jazz fusion fan, but watching this makes me wonder what the hell miles davis was on while this was being taped.
I love the Miles Davis cds I have, with Flamenco sketches being one of my favorite songs. But I don't get this at all. I never thought I'd say this, but to me, this just sounds like noise half of the time.
What about this band: Miles Davis, John Scofield, Robert Berg, Robert Irving, Daryl Jones, Steve Thorton and Vince Wilburn? That is good for a fact, that can't be bad... ;)
he is a jazz master... like yoda at the nirvana :) he just take it easy, by giving only the key notes (less nots) -very slowly- thats real hard. You know what I mean?
There is def acid involved in this performance...1:26 there is something going on...Like he is taking something... Scofield is just waiting his time for the groove to develop... So is Miles, he knows its questionable at first but make the audience trust that it will bloom into something sick which it does... Sick pocket drumming and bass...
In my early 20's I had a poster of Miles in my room. I started to study Jazz and then discovered that he was beating his wives (and he had a few of them...unbelivable). I got back to my room and looked at the picture, thinking, how is it possible? I hadn't heard yet about the Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, so I couldn't get it. Today I know that pepole can have the highest musical intelligence but no (or a very undevelopled...) Interpersonal intelligence.
can someone please tell me what sco does from 6:52 to 6:58 to make miles nod in appreciation? does he use a special scale sequence? It sounds pretty good whatever it is.
@TheRepented 3/3 it's not that respect, empathy, compession etc. can't make a better moral society - of course they will, but we are still very far from taking them as basic codes of morality. If we don't open our eyes to see where the BASIC codes are been broken than we will be in danger. We can't afford to look a side when knowing that someone doing this, just because he makes a great art. @SupernalOne: what is the power of giving great art with one hand and hitting with the other?
I'm not sure, guys like parker and trane would be totally hip with fusion. Doesn't mean that if they lived longer that they wouldn't have extended jazz realms even more. But I just not sure they would go for it. Most Bebop kats didn't. Look at Sonny Stitt, Phil Woods, Jackie Mclean, .. just a observation.
hahaha nah its chewing gum, miles was crazy on it he never stopped chewing it apparently, him and sco are probably jus laughin about it. miles was off drugs at this point like totally, its all in quincy troupes book "miles and me" check it out its great!
@TheRepented 2/3 I'm sorry but I can't enjoy art when I know that the artist has made such a crime. This isn't about judging his personality and deciding if i like the music or not. For instance, if I know that the artist in question is a rude person who has no respect for others I will still be able to enjoy his/her music, because it has got nothing to do to with my life and its the only the problem of the people who are personally close to the artist.
man, settle down...:) It depends on what you would want to achieve out of that...just putting an all-star band together doesn't mean that it's going to be a smash...
"Camera by Frank P Zappa"....... ORLY? @edcerc you must be completely tone-, rhythm-, soul-dead from the top of your empty head to the tips of your woolly slippers....
So yes, he could be very sensitive in his playing and with it had no sensitivity towards other pepole. In practice he was a shit. I took the poster of the wall, tore it to small pieces and threw it to the garbage. There will be no beating man in my room!!! This guy should have been locked in prison, not making such a career! it is unbelievable how our soceity is forgiving, loving and can forget all its basic principles of respect to others if someone has got an outstanding talent.
@Syllerud personally i find this performance... CRAP. It's not a single emotion in this rather than a fight of egos in brainless drug adicts. (I love many of Miles and John doings, i'm talking about THIS)
i am into all kinds of free improvisation and modern music but these guys sound like theyre just meandering around. This is so boring, plus that keyboard tone is lame as hell.
This song is called "Jean Pierre".
Miles Davis (tp), John Scofield (g), Bob Berg (t sax), Robert Irving (synth), Darryl Jones (b), Vince Wilburn (d) and Steve Thornton (perc) live in Montréal, 1985.
Brilliant. They don't call Scofield the master of tension for nothing. I love the way this guy mixes up his scale choices.
Well thats just to you. I love Flamenco Sketches and I love this shit just as much. Not better, not worse, just different.
Thiyis pure art...thi is a mantra!!!
I've never seen Scofield play so rock-hysterical before.
love all the background keyboard work, the atmospheric feel, the way it picks up at 5:00 or so... very nice
Met Scofield in Birmingham after Miles died. He was devastated but talked about the who's who at the funeral. Miles certainly had a good send off.
So good, it's almost eerie.
@jgivler
I love how he kept going to the front of the stage and, as soon as he started playing, he would gravitate right beside Scolfield again. Thar shit was funny.
miles was off his friggin rocker....but boy could he make that trumpet soar.
Just one word: Great!
Incredible
Fun to see Sco playing guitar hero- so used to his more laid back and tasteful recent stuff. He is quite the beast.
Brilliant.
Jean-Pierre une reprise d'une vieille berceuse française " Do do l'enfant do " . Un de mes oncles s'appelait Jean-Pierre. Je le prends comme un hommage. 😎
amazing
So mysterious!!cool
Sco - awesome as usual
fuggin great
i love how miles has his hand in his pocket
今夜はこれだな。ジョンスコ&マイルス、やっぱスゲ〜!
Is anyone else kinda' distracted in a good way by this bassist?? He's totally the hub that everything else is revolving around here. Nice.
THAT WHY I DIG SCO!
hahaha niceeeeee soo truu skwiidbrethh.... all in all SCOFieldd is just ridiculously amazinggg.. noff said :)
At 3.06 Miles comes up with something beautiful and spontaneous ... where they were taking this was not any straight ahead sound ... and the way they build on the lines and keep it hanging!
on a record it was sound great. in a big concert hall it's drowned out.
Why don't we get jazz programmes like this in the UK. The French are so civilised! Amazing stuff from an amazing line-up. The Stones must be boring as hell for the 'Munch'!
Miles is like a haunted man - one chased in the shadows until...5:00, when Sco breaks out.
i'd be afraid to play with miles
how do you guys view this superband: john scofield, miles davis, john coltrane, toots thielamans, jaco pastorious, and elvin jones?
god that makes me feel all giddy inside just thinkin about it, although it'll never happen, its still a delicious thought
Name of the tune is Jean Pierre. It's normally played faster and more uplifting. Marcus Miller covers it on his album Free.
@Syllerud Oh it's really good alright. It's exciting, dynamic and unpredictable. And cool.
'saw scofield in belgium not a long time ago... 'didn't he played with miles. Great musicians anyway! I also love the bass line...
damn son
Franchement c'est du pur bonheur!!^^
Surtout le passage de Scofield, de la pure tuerie!!!!:-D
Je voudrais bien savoir ou on pourrait avoir le DVD de ce live la
@OParvo Miles Davis - Live in Montreal 1985
@jgivler
he was on another planet lol
you don't dig this soooooper slooooow groove? ....... come on brah...
LOL so true
that bass player is fucking good
Thats Darrel Jones on Bass, now the bass player for The Rolling Stones.
@thekidoftheyear Frank P. Zappa was a cameraman... 'the' Frank Zappa's middle name was Vincent, so I would imagine this cameraman had to go ahead and throw in the middle initial to avoid confusion
is this music good or is it just because it's Miles Davis we tend to praise it?
did you see at the end when they gave one of the camera credits to Frank Zappa?
Mortacci Scofield sono senza parole
This is what happens when you stick 4 musical geniuses on stage after administering 10 hits of acid to each of them, lol, I am a huge jazz fusion fan, but watching this makes me wonder what the hell miles davis was on while this was being taped.
My apologies to our friends across the pond! Of course I meant the Canadians are so civilised!!
i see bob berg in the bgound!
I love the Miles Davis cds I have, with Flamenco sketches being one of my favorite songs. But I don't get this at all. I never thought I'd say this, but to me, this just sounds like noise half of the time.

i did i didnt know he was a tele player before he got ibanezes
miles needs another drink!!! waitress get miles another drink!!!
miles davis reminds me of a black mr. burns from the simpsons.
In my early 20's I had a poster of Miles in my room. I started to study Jazz and then discovered that he was beating his wives (and he had a few of them...unbelivable).

Jean-pierre
Damn! The Bass Player creates the fattest hook at 6:00.
Does anyone know what the name of this song is?
Fank p zapa cameraman nice
can someone please tell me what sco does from 6:52 to 6:58 to make miles nod in appreciation? does he use a special scale sequence? It sounds pretty good whatever it is.
The bass player plays for the Stones now, he put on some weight.

i think miles took the whole far out mysterious jazz musician a bit to far here, not really with the song, great groove, but with the way he acted
-facepalm-
