Miles Davis Quintet, Stockholm 1967/AMAZING concert!!

I cannot imagine seeing this live. So incredible. They knew one another's changes so well. There is a reason this quintet is considered the greatest jazz lineup ever.

After watching Herbies lecture, i tried to find the moment when Miles turnes around the "unexpected" chord (17:40) Hancock had played. Its just so intimate and beautiful. That one moment of only miles carrying on ... thats how babies are made!

[@NickDonellan]

Ahhh! Thanks! I didn't catch it the first watch. What a genius improv. Wow

[@neocolors]

He said it was on ‚so what‘, on the peak of Miles‘ Solo.

[@MrGuto]

@@neocolors I'd argue his memory of which tune this happened on may be a bit foggy after 50 years. I browsed all bootlegs of Miles concerts in 1969 and the only one I heard So What played was in Berkeley. Miles doesn't even solo on that one. Here on Round Midnight, it's clear Miles was going for some kind resolution at the end of the section A repeat, when Herbie plays this colorful chord behind him. Both pause, Miles even takes his hand off the trumpet, then he answers to Herbie and keeps going into section B. Herbie re-joins him a bit later, around the 5th bar of section B, in the descending chords line. I'm pretty sure this is the right spot Herbie was commenting on in his speech.

Right out of the gate, Miles is on fire. And young Tony...I get the feeling that Tony was still.mee to the band, and that Miles was energized by what he was doing.

That rendition of Gingerbread Boy is so intense, honest, interconnected and brilliant - each player comes to the table with their very best stuff and then some - its deeply moving and the collective picture is Wow. How did Tony Williams come up with this stuff at age 22 or whatever he was? MILES DAVIS put this thing together.“When Miles walked off the stage .... clean out of sight now...” (Eddie Jefferson lyric)

[@Unmoved12345]

This is, in fact, a brilliant set.

[@holygroove2]

I wish people would also imitate the sensitivity of the rhythm section, the way Miles starts it off, but doesn't stay on for too long, the sensitivity of all of the musicians in general. I came here after listening to Wynton and crew pay tribute to Miles Birth of the Cool, and decided, heck, why not listen to the real thing.

My favorite moment is at 1:29 when they hear Miles hinting at the half-time and they ease into it.

[@chrismartin1956]

Exactly! Like bringing a heavy down hill train quickly into control.

[@Nmetajazz]

It's not exactly half time (50% slower) where the half note becomes the quarter. It is a 75% tempo decrease where the dotted eight becomes the quarter. Slightly trickier and way more subtle.

After all of this genius, Miles Davis goes to the electric music idiom and owns that.....just because he could.

[@cosmicjazzman4817]

I seen the 'Miles Davis Story' in Boston somewhere GBH Pubic Radio' sponsored the one night premier of the movie. Clips of this show are in it mostly Agitation,the first tune. I flipped out! When they went away from it I flipped! Lol. Just knowing that this exists was so gratifying to know. I'm not sure if this is the show that they show on Ken Burns Jazz it's probably this one!? If so I saw that first by 2 whole years Wich means I mixed those two occasions together... Lol,I'm a goof! Finally seeing these is there entirety is the most gratifying experience everytime I watch and listen. Wayne Shorter kicks ASS on all of the videos of the Quintet especially THIS. He's really smooth on this night! I love, believe it or not,when it mellows on Footprints and Agitation when the drums drop out. I'm a drummer and Tony is in my Top 5 always changing from one to five depending on the day. Didn't like it because he did it a lot on this but when he plays it's intense

[@zqa12swx]

26:50 space age blues..... I think this is one of Wayne's greatest solos

[@cosmicjazzman4817]

[@caponsacchi9979]

Miles traveled with the same repertory and arrangements for concerts in Paris (Wynton Kelly, Sonny Stitt).. prefer them because Kelly and Stitt remain attached to, or guided by, the standards (Round Midnight, Autumn Leaves, etc.) whereas Shorter and Hancock dispense with them from the first bar of their improvisations.

Does anyone know why was Miles touching his ear so often? Was it because of he wanted to tell something to Herbie? I am just curious about it if anyone knows. Thank you

[@georgearroyo2218]

My friend wants to know, is this rehearsed or just plain improvising? Love to hear your thoughts on the video. I think is total improvasion.

[@Nmetajazz]

The essence of jazz is getting your technique (both physical and mental) to the point where it allows you to improvise freely while keeping the form of the tune intact both in terms of harmony and rhythm. "Free jazz" on the other hand is total improv- do what thou wilt type of thing- and it rarely deserves a second hearing. The playing in this concert my friend, is jazz at it's finest. Perfect balance of freedom and restriction. It is not "free form", although it may, sometimes, sound like it is. It simply trascends the limitations that technical and/or "musical" problems of expression impose on less articulate players. It's a great exercise to try to sing the head of each tune to yourself while listening to the solos and in doing so you'll find out that those guys keep the form with religious fervour. It really wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

[@mario.alarcon]

Not exactly, the basic fundament of it is composed. The song that starts at around 7:28 for example is called footprints. It is originally written by Wayne Shorter. If you look up the orignal (or at least earlier) version by him on his album "Adam's Apple" and then compare to a later arranged version of the same song on the album "Miles Smiles", you can hear how much work they put into the arrangement on that Album. They really reimagined the music into a completely different mood and ambient. From the Moment Miles gathered this version of his Quintet they spent a lot of time rehearsing. The thing is, they got to know each other so incredibly well (in a musical way) that from some point on they could change and experiment on stage with what they were doing at a level I think is mindblowing. That arrangement of footprints is still the basic idea of this recording, but they are in constant Dialogue about how the music is evolving while they are playing on stage. If Tony Williams at the drums is changing something, for example, all the rest of the group is reacting to it. Look at how the mood changes from 11:50 on, they all do it together even if none of them has a concrete part to play, they are aware of and reacting to each other. So coming back to your question. No, it is not exactly rehearsed in the format you listen to it now, but the fundament of it was once written out (even if just sketchwise) and rehearsed. And they rehearsed for the sake of being able to be flexible and improvise not only with the melodic line, but also with every element of the accompaniment. I think the best thing you can do is compare Shorter's original Footprints on 1966 "Adam's Apple" Album then check out the recording of the same song on 1967's "Miles Smiles" and then again come back to this video at 7:28. You'll notice that it is basically the same song, the general Idea is kept, but everything else (the drums, the bass, the piano and of course sax and trumpet) do completely different things than in other recordings. I promise you it's a fun ride to see how much the same basic Idea can change in releases that are less than 2 year's apart. Have fun doing so and I hope this gives you somewhat of an answer :)

[@holygroove2]

@@Nmetajazz You need to refine your definition of Free Jazz. If you think that it doesn't deserve a second listen, then why did you post this video? Much of this is free, but there are absolutely some things that they use to work from, like tunes. The first thing Miles plays is from one of his records. He quotes it again when he returns for his second solo. At one point, they sound almost like one of Ornette Colman's groups. If you don't like free jazz, then just say it, and let people who can speak about it define what "deserves" second listening.
