every time I watch a Quintet performance from this era, I always come away being more impressed by Tony Williams and Ron Carter than anyone else on the stage. it's almost impossible to overstate how incredibly dynamic and potent they are. for all the legend surrounding Herbie or Wayne or Miles himself, they are simply not as physically impressive as the powerhouse workhorse energy and constant - seamless, ceaseless - creative flow which is radiating from Tony and Ron. with virtually no letting up from start to finish. just boundless enthusiasm and inspiration. if you've never played drums or double bass, I don't think you can imagine how difficult it is to maintain such frenetic pace or high tempo for one whole song, let alone a complete show. Williams own internal stamina could power entire cities... the size and strength in Carter's fingers would make the branches of a Redwood jealous... absolutely incredible
Agree completely, LazyLion...In describing their incredible performance at Philharmonic Hall on 2/12/64, Jack Chambers said they maintained a pace that must be close to the physical limits of bass plucking and drumming--and the sheer musicality of Tony Williams' drumming always astonishes me. It's kinda sad in a way that after his tenure with Miles he never achieved greater accomplishments than these, though he remained for the rest of his life the most musical/melodic drummer in the history of the music, IMHO.
Small side note, the band was introduced by the late Joachim-Ernst Behrendt, Behrendt was THE German "Jazzpabst" (Jazz Pope), a journalist who worked in radio and television, wrote several books on jazz and also worked as a jazz producer.
I just read an interview with Pat Metheny talking about how this quintet and the Beatles were around for roughly the same time and between them created some of the greatest music ever.
After watching this video on what would have been Miles' 95th birthday, I immediately had to put on my CD of 'Filles de Kilimanjaro'; I can't get enough of this Quintet.
i love filles too, maybe my favorite from this period but the group had by then started to introduce chick corea and dave holland and electric instruments.
Rono James, they, fellow musicians and critics, always said “Miles had the best bands,” whether it was the birth of the cool, Kind of Blue or Bitches Brew….
Saw this quintet twice back in the day. Nice to see them again in color. Sounds as fresh as it did 50 odd years later. Miles was one slick dude. I always checked out his threads. Nothing was off the rack. He must have made his personal taylor rich!
That sounds great, I envy you! Do you remember if Miles' suit was really that exact color, I think it looks excellent! I just love his great 2nd quintet, so I would be very interested in your perception of this time.
Genio assoluto, musicisti, forse gli ultimi d'una catena che si spezza, musica, assoluta.Genio e tecnica, qualità, assoluta.Mai più sentiremo algo così totale....
In just four short years, different music, new band, and outfits instead of suits. No one in American serious music grasped forward more than Miles Davis.
Minute 14:13, wowwww Miles Davis playing a magnificent introduction for I Fall In Love Too Easily. What a sound, selection of notes, maximum elegance and quite impressive mastery of the tempo. Genius. Incredible, one of my favorite parts of the video.
Oh my god, there are pearls appearing. Superb. Young men in suits and ties play music from another world. It's a real pleasure for me to be able to watch now.
These 5 could do anything and they chose to do this, I am blown away. I find myself floating away, staring into the screen. Magic, genius, beauty--all. All art. They leave the rational world behind and create their own. Thanks allowing us to follow along.
IMHO opinion this group has never been surpassed in its ability to fuse prodigious individual talents and play music with such extraordinary power, subtlety and collective virtuosity. For me this
Let alone the brilliance of miles; The musicianship!.... masters in their own right; but as well, the parrticular chemistry of these artists playing together- at that ttime;...Astoundng!! TW...What a drummer - at that age...(What a left hi hat foot...)
1967 the year of my birth and i fell so good music in 2021. Miles Davis, Tony Williams, Ron Carter, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock are the best of best musician
I saw him in Paris at Salle Pleyel, during the same tour. I have some old pictures, hidden somewhere ! I love this quintet. It's as there were only one person. All of them are Miles, without losing there own voices...well, may be !!?
The last days of miles and crew free modal jazz, one year after they became with eletric instruments, much more simple and funk/rock approach, and with that colorful look
Miles looks equally great as he blows that trumpet. The entire band is great. Herbie Hancock plays a rather different style now that is different from legitimate jazz.
Young Tony Williams gaining confidence to sock it out and push. He is really feeling it. I must admit that Milestones is one of the greatest compositions in jazz….
The reason why Miles's "free music" is superior to the avant-garde of that period, is that the music is tonal. The music has a tonal center, and they respond to the chords and modes they superimpose over the pedal. This was unlike the "free music" of the 60's, especially Cecil Taylor.
Some of the greatest jazz musicians were child prodigies. Lee Morgan began playing trumpet at the age of 13, and by the age of 14 he was already good enough to play with jazz bands, and joined Art Blakey's band at the age of 18!
Great footage! I've never heard Miles playing so fast & furious before....definitely need to listen to more of his work from 2nd great quintet era in the '60s, thanks for the upload!
Amazing: only few more than 100.000 views & only ±2500 likes.... for this super super performance . All five great musicians in best form and inspired. Wow. Thanks.
I wish Wayne would've played more for the group, rather than Wayne. And I always felt that of the 3 soloists Herbie---especially that young---had the most intriguing ideas Very mature, while reaching like crazy. Miles was correct in once describing himself as a 'quarter horse'. He set the tone and they ran with it---amok even better----Joel Fass...
anybody here complaining about “cacophony” is obviously completely unaware of the virtuosic musicianmanship on display here lol. these were all masters of their respective instruments & expressing themselves in that way

This band is still ahead of its time today.
The greatest ever. Amazing to watch them. You take so much more.
Yes indeed, this is the stuff.
You mean.. Miles Ahead...
@@rickg8015 no the band is, miles is great but just him solo won't cut it. When the ingredients together it makes something great.
They're ahead of time itself

Yup especially Ron and Herbie for me

I have no words for the joy of seeing this in color. On behalf of the entire planet, THANK YOU.
Couldn't agree more
@@danielbarros7636 me too!! Thank you :-)
Facts 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
I prefer black and white
@@nickfanzo I mean yeah, what the fuque
若い頃、レコードでしかジャズを知ることができなかった。
どこの誰が、どんな顔で演奏しているのか。ジャケットでしか知ることが出来なかった。
こうして実際の映像を見ることができて、本当に嬉しい。
涙が出てくるほど嬉しい。
その場で実際に聞きたかった。

Tony Williams is only 20 years old here. Can you imagine?
No. Because he wasn’t 20, he was 22
I totally agree with you. Tony's playing has always been so innovative.
@@RyanRenteria 21^
May this be preserved for future generations to witness the apex of musical creativity and skill.
Very well said!
Once upon a time gods walked upon the Earth.
And they played the best jazz anyone ever played.
After watching this video on what would have been Miles' 95th birthday, I immediately had to put on my CD of 'Filles de Kilimanjaro'; I can't get enough of this Quintet.
Thanks for reminding me. Have to pull that album out again and play it.
i love filles too, maybe my favorite from this period but the group had by then started to introduce chick corea and dave holland and electric instruments.
And this is no studio recording. This the real thing!
The all time best group at the top of their game.
Amazing band. My favourite, absolutely incredible musicians and Miles is the Sorcerer.

The hottest jazz quintet on Earth
Who can fuck with Miles, since?? 'wyn-done marsupial !?' I THINK NOT
In just four short years, different music, new band, and outfits instead of suits. No one in American serious music grasped forward more than Miles Davis.
Man what a magnificent document of the greatest quartet in jazz history. IMO

We live in amazing times. I think we sometimes all take for granted what a gift RUclips is. All this amazing stuff just a click away.
One of the greatest bands ever. A joy to watch!!!
Miles, please come back, someone invented Reggaeton and everything is not the same, please COME TO ME!
Greatest jazz group in history. I love this music!❤❤
This and Coltrane quartet
@@nickfanzo YES!
This night is a shining moment in the evolution of Mankind. And it was captured on film. And you shared it with us" 🙏

RIP Miles, Tony, and Wayne. You were the greatest. I'm glad we still have Rob and Herbie still kickin' it and making music
Miles was so COOL
He was so sharp!
this is amazing. T Williams is a beast on percussion.
omg this footage.....GOLD
Best band ever.
Yes
Thank you.
This video also had a color video. I`ve seen the black and white version before. I`m glad that the image is more real.
Such incredible footage. These guys were on fire that night, in particular Wayne and Tony.
I love your passion for music and your fashion ,also ❤💖
this is life changing. one of the best miles vids ive ever seen, thank you so much.
happy bday RON
Love this group together led by Miles, and the individuals in their own right. Tempo is a game changer here!
Thank you so much for posting ! Greetings from Brazil !
Can't stop listening,musical smack!
I guess that's why two of Miles' songs (not sure if played here) are titled "stuff" and "paraphenalia" :)
my favorite thing on the internet right now
I saw him in Paris at Salle Pleyel, during the same tour. I have some old pictures, hidden somewhere ! I love this quintet. It's as there were only one person. All of them are Miles, without losing there own voices...well, may be !!?
This is an outstanding channel! Thanks for the great contribution. I'm privileged to subscribe.
I love how Tony almost knocks over his hihat stand during the last seconds of the performance. Pure fire.
The last days of miles and crew free modal jazz, one year after they became with eletric instruments, much more simple and funk/rock approach, and with that colorful look
Miles looking clean!
Miles looks equally great as he blows that trumpet. The entire band is great. Herbie Hancock plays a rather different style now that is different from legitimate jazz.
Wow, a million thanks!
Young Tony Williams gaining confidence to sock it out and push. He is really feeling it. I must admit that Milestones is one of the greatest compositions in jazz….
Amazing! Vraiment super! Merci beaucoup 😊
This is golden! Pure joy!

My city still lingers the echoes of great jazz from days gone by🎵🎶🎵🎺🗽
Hot damn, this is a good one.
Herbie joined Miles when he was 23, and Tony Williams at 17...wow....now that's skill....4 of the 5 are still alive......RIP Miles
Sorry, but it's 3 of the 5. RIP Tony and Miles.
@@gj8683 You are absolutely correct....thanks for pointing out my error......enjoy your weekend!!!

Now just two, Rest well Wayne ❤❤
OMG. great performance.
Fantastic music!
este loco de tony es tremenda vueltaa
BEAUTIFUL MUSIC....! DAVIS IS A GENIUS
what a classic group of musicians gosh
Great footage! I've never heard Miles playing so fast & furious before....definitely need to listen to more of his work from 2nd great quintet era in the '60s, thanks for the upload!
He is extraordinary here. Not bad for the “old guy” in this group of young firebrands.
Tony was really driving him!
What can I say, all has been said, so I may with your consent ; mr Davis, you are the best.
Best band ever
This is GOLDEN

Love it. Thanks for the post.
100anos à frente . 5musicos GENIAIS
Me ha relajado increiblemente! Excelentes..

Yes! Dream Team!
I loled at Herbie sitting in a dining room chair
Tony Williams hi-hat 30:54 ;)
Miles is so cool.....
Tony......😱😱😱🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank U So Very Very Much👂👀🙏
Herbie hancock is amazing on them keys
Brilliant!!
This era is where Miles hones his skills and starts displaying his technical proficiency..
Really is awsome stuff.. Only 6 stupid, soulless people left their dislike here.. Real deal time, pulse and execution of rhythm, dynamics and flow.
IN COLOR!!!! The band goes into outer space 30:19 onward.
At the peak of his technique.
Beautiful. Thing
even ron tuning his bass mid song was musical lol🤯
At the transition point, whoa art forward.
トニー・ウィリアムスの凄まじい演奏に触発され、ウェイン・ショーターもいつになく超アグレッシブに吹いている。マイルスの全盛期がジャズの全盛期のような気がする。
I wish Wayne would've played more for the group, rather than Wayne.

Tony is on Premier here, not Gretsch...either a backline kit for the (possible) festival or one of the other drummers' kits. He is tremendous here.
and then there's Miles and all things start to make sense
anybody here complaining about “cacophony” is obviously completely unaware of the virtuosic musicianmanship on display here lol. these were all masters of their respective instruments & expressing themselves in that way
I'm in heaven.
The greatest BAND of all time.
The Mount Rushmore of jazz...without question HOFers on their individual instruments...
