It's funny that he was 17 and played a great solo in the form, then later when did four and more live, he threw away the form and sounded completely disconnected. May be an unpopular opinion, so correct me if I'm wrong.
@@brianrandall3795 I don't know if I understood correctly what you wrote but in my opinion Tony Williams was a great innovator of the drum, one of the greatest, maybe here Mile Davis gave him a certain kind of direction and then told him to go free during the Live ... or maybe too much drugs ...little Tony used to drugs ahahah However, I was always fascinated by the fact that Mr. Miles Davis, the greatest jazz musician at that time chose a little boy as a drummer.
@@robotzs3811 haha the drugs. Honestly it sounds like it on the four and more recording. This take though is amazing, it showcases Tony's prodigious playing. I just think it's funny that he sounds more musical/mature on the earlier recording (in my opinion of course), but he was 17 when it was recorded.
@@brianrandall3795 I'm sorry but I have to desagree, the four and more solo it's amazing, Tony uses incredible vocabulary, more of his own...I think in 64 he was sounding more like himself... you can hear more solos like that in one finger snap or the introduction of agitation... I think he played what he meant to play.
@@alejandrogamboa2655 Thanks for the difference in perspective. I agree with you completely about him being himself, and I actually have studied agitation as well. My viewpoint is biased in that I believe the solo should fit the song and style. Both solos are beautifully constructed, but I can't get past the fact that the four and more cut has little to no relation to the tune at hand, and at that, the ideas contain few thematic elements or relations (Or maybe Im just salty because I just had to play it and it was hard to remember).
For a thousand years, countless minds will attempt to retrace the spaces explored by this magnificent quintet. 20th Century jazz classic masters were way, way ahead of their time. For this we are grateful.
Oh Miles Davis you were too damn good! Always ahead of everybody else! Always experimenting with new ideas! Wish you were still here. Gone 27 years today! Hard to believe! I am so glad for all the music you left behind.
It's just dawned on me that I probably got to hear every one of these individually although as I don't recall the setting with Ron C I'm not 100%. The rest I do recall as they were leaders whereas Ron would have been a sideman. The first jazz band I ever dug really via the live Four and More album.
I was only 13 years old when this Mono Vinyl LP came out in 1963. But I bought it and played it a lot I remember very well. Still have the LP here in my house.
Seven Steps has Victor Feldman on piano and Frank Butler on drums. The rest of the songs have Herbie Hancock on piano and Tony Williams on drums. Seven Steps was composed by Victor Feldman.
weird I have about 15 Miles albums and somehow did not even know this until today when I caught a video from Herbie Hancock saying it was his first studio album.
Miles recorded the song Seven Steps in Los Angeles with Victor Feldman and Frank Butler. Miles originally wanted Victor as his pianist (before Herbie) but rumour has it that Victor didn’t want to leave his beautiful wife and go on the road.😮
@@ethanblackburn5817 Its Herbie. It's weird because Feldman played on half the album, the half recorded in LA, but he doesn't play on this track that he wrote, which was recorded in NY.
I agree that "Seven Steps" is a very good stuff ! But, to talk of masterpiece is too much ! It doesn't reach the quality of "Kind Of Blue" produced four years earlier !
❤Extraordinaire Miles Davis un album Magnifique ❤🍀🌞
@@nicolekihani615 Miles smiles. Solid also. Freedom jazz dance.
Tony Williams was scary good as a teenager. That's some mature playing, there.
Tony was from another plane of existence
He was the 7th step

+Keidi Awadu So was led Zeppelin
+elvis presley Lol, no. Zeppelin were a glorified cover band who covered up their lack of creativity with bombast and technical proficiency.
Dino Spumoni They sold more records in one year than Davis did in his whole life. You are saying that shit because you are a moolie at heart

elvis presley Ahh popularity, the ultimate judge of quality. Such a pleb.
Jazz is our Spiritual Music and Gospel is the music of our Suffering.
Respect from Italy
More respect from Tanzania!
Blues is the music of our suffering
Ron Carter is amazing...he was a classical player that picked up jazz faster than a 5yo can lick an ice cream cone...that is talent folks.
Oh Miles Davis you were too damn good! Always ahead of everybody else! Always experimenting with new ideas! Wish you were still here. Gone 27 years today! Hard to believe! I am so glad for all the music you left behind.
I've heard it hundreds of time but I always find something new.
With the horn Miles was free just listen. Jazz is like a map to the joy we all need and dream of
Herbie’s solo! All that in 1 minute 🎹🔥
This a organic inter action of 4 masters playing together with alot of ideas and everyone playing and listening together. 😎
four? Isn’t there Coltrane or a member of rhythm section youre forgetting?
Wayne Shorter, Not Coltrane@@insaneevillogan
George Coleman, not Wayne Shorter @@georgemarsh6303
@@georgemarsh6303 You're both wrong, it's George Coleman on sax. Wayne Shorter wouldn't join Miles Davis' quintet until 1965, debuting in E. S. P.
One of his MANY great groups, this was (and is) so wonderful.
Tony Williams (dr), Ron Carter (b), Herbie Hancock (p), George Coleman (ts), Miles Davis (tr).
It's just dawned on me that I probably got to hear every one of these individually although as I don't recall the setting with Ron C I'm not 100%. The rest I do recall as they were leaders whereas Ron would have been a sideman. The first jazz band I ever dug really via the live Four and More album.
@@Agharta99 okokoooooookkkooiooooo.
Isn't it victor feldman who plays the piano on this one ?
Tony Williams - Genius!!!
Fantastic musician....RIP
I was only 13 years old when this Mono Vinyl LP came out in 1963. But I bought it and played it a lot I remember very well. Still have the LP here in my house.
As always, Miles plays the coolest stuff.
Yep....He's the MAN
In Miles We Trust!!!
I jazz sit around and listen to Miles, sometime I work too.
one of the most beautiful soundwaves recorded o nearth
Alan Dawson’s protege Tony crushing it!
Miles: 36 years old
Coleman: 27 years old
Ron Carter: 25 years old
Herbie Hancock: 22 years old
Tony Williams: 17 years old
Arguably the greatest rhythm section ever assembled, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter & Tony Williams.
tony...the man
Un gigante una leggenda!!! Mauri 1960❤️🇮🇹
Miles Davis Genius Beyond Limits
RIP
Stunning beauty. Thanks.
Miles is torching them changes ! Whew!!!!
And Herbie is a comping monster!
aarongrooves Herbie=gay
aarongrooves
Ron Cartar is too.
Totally off-topic...that profile picture is amazing!
@Marc-Antoine MANZONI
Right. Like Miles would play with an out of tune bassist.
Derp.......
Miles takes to heaven and back
C est si moderne même aujourd hui... J en redemande encore de la musique de cette grandeur..
91Jazz FM was playing this in the coffee shop today. I was trying to remember if it was Shorter or Sam Rivers on tenor- it was George Coleman!
I am envious - you have jazz coffee shop.
No way Sam Rivers can play like this. No way.
First heard this lick in the intro of James Hall’s Hold me… brilliant original and interpretation
Good job guys!!! This was a real team effort!
Incredible
Seven Steps to Heaven 1963 ..
Magnifico
Assolutamente si
Seven Steps has Victor Feldman on piano and Frank Butler on drums. The rest of the songs have Herbie Hancock on piano and Tony Williams on drums. Seven Steps was composed by Victor Feldman.
Herbie's solo... sheesh
For real dude !
it's really tricky to transcribe. specially at that speed
2:32 is Tony Williams solo
THANK you
The seventh step is your crown chakra. It is the only one that is outside your body.
Tear it up boys!@!
Love the way Tony plays on the head while playing part of the melody. The drum break between Miles' solo and that of Coleman wastes me every time.
Nice then ~ nice now!!
Nothing wrong with George Coleman
weird I have about 15 Miles albums and somehow did not even know this until today when I caught a video from Herbie Hancock saying it was his first studio album.
The Herbie Hancock lectures at Harvard ? Me too, just today.
any smoke gets in yours eyes
Miles at his peak. Coleman at his best. And Herbie? He gets better daily.
It's not Herbie, it's Victor Feldman
Ethan Blackburn no it’s Herbie. It’s a victor Feldman composition and he’s on this record as well but this track has Herbie on piano. Cheers!
Everyone's playing their ass off. This is HARD to play!
Miles recorded the song Seven Steps in Los Angeles with Victor Feldman and Frank Butler. Miles originally wanted Victor as his pianist (before Herbie) but rumour has it that Victor didn’t want to leave his beautiful wife and go on the road.😮
TONY!!!
I Like it! (y)
Got here because my high school’s jazz band played this. Reminds me of the Simpsons
That's that lydian sound!
best!!!!
Victor Feldman composition.
Feldman & Miles i think
killin'
I like the part when he started singing
Alphonse Mouzon does a great cover 1988
che serenità
Listen to The Take 6 rendition
+Dove77 Smaw for a second there i thought i read "the Take That reunion"
I just heard Take 3...didn't know there was a '6'.

Is that how the original sounds with respect to Herbie Hancock? I'm rather unhappy at how far back he's pushed in the mix. For shame!
