I look at the 17,558 views here and it begs to tell us just exactly why Miles was what he was and Did what he Did! Do you wonder why he ignored so many people? Do you understand why he 'acted' the way he did? My God man, he is one of the most important 5 or 6 people in the last century. Not just one the most important musicians... I really regret the time I didnt go see him in Seattle.. it was early 90's at Dimitrious.. I think its called.. Jazz Alley.. We lived in Everett and had a rock/fusion band going. People didnt understand and so we rehearsed like mad dogs... It was 4 days a week 4-5 hours each time.. Plus we all had 'day jobs'./.. Miles was playing in town but .. he played Seattle probably 2 times a year back in the late 80's.. We were rehearsing for a gig and so we didnt go... but it was for a good reason.. People still ignored us.. but.. thats okay.. we do what we do for us..
129 views my ass!This is the greatest jazz band ever.Im a hip hopper,these guys are all top 3 on their respective instruments.So this is like having Jay-Z,Kanye,Nas,PAC,Big in 1 band.Tony 4 my $ was the greatest drummer ever,so versatile,he's prob 19-21 in this video & already a pro since 16 with Jackie McLean...#Greatness
Nice that you got some of the history, but please don't compare Musicians like these - at the top of the Food Chain - with Celebrity/Entertainers Du Jour. It's Apples and Orange Peels, makes you look foolish. Just sayin'
Wasn't a comparison of Artist,was trying 2 show how GREAT the band was...Made the comp cuz in 2days HIP HOP the best don't work with the best & it's lastly 2 SHOW HOW GREAT MILES WAS!Miss me with the BS enjoy the greatness...
@@firstlast4874 First of all, Jay-Z, Kanye, Nas, PAC, and Big were not Celebrity/Entertainers Du Jour.., well, maybe Kanye is now, but, the others listed were legends in their music genre.
@@skineyemin4276 >the others listed were legends in the music genre................??? What music genre? They don't play any instrument, so my bad calling them "musicians". They know how to make money. End of
Look closely at the opening ceremony, it's a performance within a performance. They are connected before a note is played. I watched this multiple times and never caught it. Thanks herbie and the star-crew. For music created in the 60s to now and BEYOND! cheeeeers!
If aliens ever landed in my backyard, this clip is the first thing I would share with them.
Tony Williams absolutely astounded by this dudes ability to play and sound Like NO ONE!!!!
Tony Williams WHAT!
Once in a lifetime
And Antonio Sanchez, in his Birdman soundtrack, clearly channeled this.
RIP Wayne Shorter
Legends never die, they just go back among the stars. AMEN-RA!

So many risks taken! Gotta love it
This Band is the Absolute Pinnacle of 20th Century Live Music, Full Stop.
This is miles ESP circa, So much Coltrane influence. No disrespect to Miles. Blows hard! Serious band!
I bet Bird would've really dug this.

I was thinking more Black Thought (of The Roots), Mos Def, Lauryn Hill, Plug-1, Phife and I'd put Big in there.

I wonder what cymbals Tony's using; they sound significantly brighter than his usual K's. Paistes maybe?
