      What a great way of putting it. From my own experience, people I talk to don’t understand or have any desires to understand Jazz music of any genre it’s like in the modern world it’s received bad press from many ignorant journalists. Hopefully the tide will turn. I am a presenter on a local radio station and will always slip the odd gem in when I get the chance. People need educating. This music is unique and it’s great how the solos are different each time but the tune is recognisable. That’s what’s great with Jazz.
      You has Jazz!!

    Miles never overplayed. Miles never felt the need to prove himself to anyone by playing fast, though obviously he could. He just laid back in the pocket and said what he wanted to say. Clearly, concisely and without pretense. For me this is what a true Master does. He gets his point across so that anyone can understand...

    • @yosuapangaribuan5057
      @yosuapangaribuan5057 3 года назад +87

      True. Even though he played with a laid back pace, his Solo is on point. Some people need to play fast to show off, but Miles need not. It's like he was conversing straight "to the point". No need for fancy words or something. Straight class.

      @@yosuapangaribuan5057 yeah. Thats kinda the meaning of the song. From what I understand he saw all the super fast intricate melodies of the Jazz hits at the time and decided to write a song with a 4 note melody, and sound completely badass anyway.
      You can see it in the music where the bass plays a complicated rhythm and then the melody responds with two notes that mimic a person saying “so what” as if it is calling into question the purpose of the complicatedness of the bass line, symbolic for Jazz at the time.
      Alright, geek out over, move along.

    The older jazz gets and the more it enters history, the more clear it is what an essential bridge this music is between the past and what we think of as "modernity." Not only modern music, but modern culture, what began to arise in the middle of the 20th century and is on overdrive today. Seminal stuff here.

    When I was a Black little girl back in the 60's and mama would have music like this blasting on her newly aquired RCA Sterio record player it would hurt my ears and boggle my mind that she would play this crazy waaay-out shit that seemed so out of step with the times- why couldn't she groove to Smokey Robinson or Aretha Franklin or James Brown like everyone else i knew?!! And then she'd rub it in by smiling a huge smile on her face while snapping her fingers to this crazy music...I remember looking up into mama’s 22yrs young face and with a puzzled look on my 8yrs face exclaiming, "You're serious huh? You really like this stuff huh (hoping she'd realize she had momentarily lost her mind again) smile and continue her gyrations in complete confidence while saying, "Yeah, I love it!" I felt personally insulted.
    I learned later in life while studying music in on of music classes at the University of Southern California that music mama listen to was as classy and jazzy as it gets and that Miles Dewey Davis was THE #1 JAZZ ARTIST OF ALL TIME. I been lovin this shit in a mad crazy way and threw in some Art Blakey, and Wes Montgomery to boot ~_~♡

      Most say it has all deteriorated due to overpopulation, and I can see that is a major factor, but of course, greed and lust for power was always lurking there in any time of ease and prosperity. When the pressure and heat are up like present times, the dross rises to the surface, then the status quo is asserted more vigorously by the stratas of elites, and the common folk are driven into corners by economics, and socially all the simple enjoyments often get buried in the wake of meaningless destruction that follows useless pupose. Get my drift Jason Smith? Just a lot more difficult, and sometimes impossible to relax and think, and enjoy simple things I guess.

      In the liner notes for Kind Of Blue Cobb is quoted as saying "It [Kind Of Blue] must have been made in heaven." My guess is he's referring to the fact that there was basically no rehearsal for the album and none of the artists had performed any of the songs previous to recording (hard thing to do since Miles Davis had basically only composed them just hours before). All the songs are basically a first take and done and all the parts are pretty much improvised on the spot. Pretty amazing, really, and a true testament to the incredible genius of the players.

  • @georgestevens1502

    Wynton Kelly on keys shows great restraint by not trying to pick up on Coltrane's intensity but rather brings a smooth and easy break between Coltrane and Miles. It gives the listener a bit of a breather with simple but pleasing phrasing that's like a palette cleanser after the rush of Coltrane's intensity so that the listener doesn't get exhausted trying to keep up with the cascades of notes from 'Trane and Miles. Really artful display of less is more by Kelly.
