Miles Davis - Yesternow (Oslo, Norway 1971-11-09)

[@docnelson2008]

I'm sure I am not alone in saying this: WE MISS YOU MILES! There are so many reminders on KZbin of the great man's talent now. There is no other musician quite like him: he was magical, mesmerising and sometimes maddening but never dull. This is a great upload, reminding us of a wonderful time in jazz history, a time when there was music being created that made your hairs stand on end far more regularly than now. Thank you symbolkid.

Mr. Davis is a genius of putting right people in the right place on the right time

[@ulyssesgarner328]

Can you image that every night for 40 years Miles played with the greatest conveyors of our culture. He listened, directed, and created a musical vocabulary that changed the world. The music he created and the musicians he as associated stand on a library of cultural monuments that simply can not be imitated by any forces in the universe. No matter how sophisticated and advance civilizations are that exist outside of our dominion the products of Miles’ achievements will always be viewed and studied with awe. To feel the majesty of his musical excursions has been an admission ticket to the wonders of humanity’s legacy.

[@davidgreen1504]

Honestly Miles is the godfather of this 30 years from now this music will be etch in our minds,I saw him play when he came back after 7yr hatius at indigo blues, & the pier in Manhattan in pouring rain for 30 mins of the show it pour back turn and played his Ass off thanks for the memories🍷🍷

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Superb. Jarrett is on fire. I think Miles electric period is the most interesting.

[@zdunas23]

I find it much worse than his 50s and 60s, yet most expressive

[@alanpavlica8681]

It's my favorite period as well, so singular and heavy

[@alankirkby465]

@@zdunas23 I'm sort of 50/50. Peace to all.

[@newusernamehere4772]

Spambots aside I think you're probably right, although I would expand the definition of "Miles' electric period" to include Miles in the Sky (or earlier, whenever the electric keys started) as well as everything up until he passed. The guy continued to evolve and although I personally don't listen to as much of Scofield/Stern as I do the earlier guitarists I think Miles knew what was best for his band until the end. I don't think there's anything of his I don't like but everything modal that he did is super important for me personally as a lowly rock guitarist lol

[@lanceash]

I think the 2nd great quintet is the apex of his career, but the "electric" period is unfairly overlooked and dismissed. Ken Burns' "Jazz" docu-series contained some of the most nasty, biased comments about, not only Miles' fusion efforts, but Cecil Taylor's work as well. The only real problem I have about Miles' 70's albums is that 99% of them are live recordings. I would love to hear what Miles and the 70's ensembles could have cooked up in the studio.

[@axs203]

The wonder of our universe contains many things that are unexplainable and this music is part of that in a slice of time....that electric piano solo is just amazing and so melancholic going into so many different directions

[@jonopstad6596]

Amazing footage. Also amazing that this was recorded the night before Keith Jarrett went into the studio in the same city to record his debut solo piano album for ECM, "Facing You"

[@mareaumusic]

What an impressive change Miles went through: only four years before he was in Europe with his second great quintet, playing Standards and wearing suits.

[@michaelcorenzwit6860]

Keith Jarrett is a creative genius. Listen to his mesmerizing solo towards the end. Pure joy.

[@michaelcorenzwit6860]

Btw, Keith hated electric pianos but Miles wanted a Fender Rhodes. You didn’t argue with Miles.

[@hollywoodCam4747]

Two geniuses. they both heard different versions of songs in their head but you can never doubt Miles vision 🤣

[@siddharthur]

Thanks for this. Any chance to see and hear Gary Bartz is deeply appreciated.

[@ulyssesgarner328]

Simply a phenomenal musician! His sound comes from the mud of Mississippi and the musical joints of Baltimore. A stylist with few peers.

[@lanceash]

Gary Bartz was so cool-looking. I wish he hadn't had so much of the background vocals on his 70's albums.

[@DavidMGarens]

Keith Jarrett, wow. This is classic Miles. Wish the studio albums were like this . . .

[@kevinr.3542]

Yeah this era wasn't captured enough. Obviously there's plenty of his late era funk fusion stuff, but this is a more subdued and musically grounded style of jamming than his really atonal harsher stuff.

[@JeffreySykes]

This is slow to develop but the close up camera work is some of the best of Miles, in my opinion. Great to see him using the wah pedal. Keys and sax are great in this clip.

[@davidgreen1504]

I Been wanting to her this live for ever thanks for posting "Jack Johnson" lp.is one of my favorites kick ass album thank you,thank you🍷🍷

[@ypsilone]

The band with Miles: Keith Jarrett, Michael Henderson, Gary Bartz, Don Alias, Ndugu and Mtume.

[@kevinr.3542]

I like this 1 keyboard lineup because without Chic on rhodes,, Jarrett was able to get off that harsh sounding organ miles had him playing and play some more conventional elec piano/rhodes himself and REALLY express himself much more. His playing and effect over the mood here, for example, is sublime. Much more musical than some of his late-period fusion stuff.

[@cali22boi]

@@kevinr.3542 you realize that Keith continued to play that Fender Combo organ until he left Miles right? He played some of his finest riffs and comping on it during this entire 1971 tour

[@SouthMiamiHeights]

Bass line is dope...it's an interpolation of James Brown's 'Say It Loud...I'm Black and I'm Proud'

[@egyptianminor]

@FatoushDosEmirados Actually, no. There are two percussionists here: the guy sitting down is Don Alias and the guy standing is James Mtume Foreman - son of legendary HardBop tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath. They are both American. Airto Moreira, played in the band until late 1970 or early 1971.

[@callmemonkh9020]

Hey...E.M. -- y'know, I had to think about it awhile ago..I wish Don could've played with Miles longer, in that period, because other than the fact of who Mtume was (the son of Miles' Best Friend/the closest to Miles in the band), AND the fact that Miles always wanted to TEACH younger Musicians...Airto & Don were MILES ABOVE what James was able to bring forth. I'm sorry..

[@RobertCarmackchef]

@CHIP STERN- I saw an earlier version of this band with Jack DeJohnette, Henderson on Bass, Bartz sax, jarrett keys, and miles on electric trumpet, no percussions @ Shelly 's Manne Hole - spring 1971- los angeles,calif. heavy jack johnson music & the stuff off the Live stuff from New York club.

Обожаю Майлза Дэвиса. Майлз Дэвис - непревзойденный джазовый трубач. Много лет назад я купила дивиди о нём и его коллективе. Частный самолёт приземлился, семья человека, который занимается отстрелом динго, концерт группы Майлза Дэвиса в этих пустынных местах, возвращение коллектива Майлза домой, немного о жизни Майлза вне сцены. Одолжила этот диск, чтобы посмотреть, другому такому же фанату Майлза, как и я, и диск "ушёл". Хорошо, что сейчас есть ютуб, где Майлза Дэвиса можно смотреть и слушать бесконечно.

[@symbolkid]

спасибо, что напомнили! саундрек к Динго - одна из последних записей Дэвиса, интересно его послушать

[@ЮлияОрлова-э8з]

@@symbolkid Спасибо за публикацию видео с Майлзом Дэвисом.

[@chipstern]

This is not "Funky Tonk." On JACK JOHNSON it was part of a side B suite called "Yesternow." Wonderful stuff. I heard this same band with Jack DeJohnette on drums some 40 years ago. I love Jarrett's Fender Rhodes solo towards the end. For someone who hated electric keys he certainly elicited a wonderful, original sound.

[@maxis4343]

well they fixed the title, i guess

[@production58]

Keith recently said to me that he does not heat electric instruments. He just thinks they should be put in the right context for it to work with the music.

[@JerryA676]

I played with miles,man I was the triangle player

[@skineyemin4276]

That's James Mtume, son of the great saxophonist, Jimmy Heath. James Mtume was one of the great percussionists of the early jazz fusion period and was the founder and leader of one of the great mid 1970s funk groups, MTUME. James Mtume's uncle is the great jazz bassist Percy Heath, and his uncle is Albert "Tootie" Heath, drummer of the Modern Jazz Quartet with Milt Jackson, John Lewis, Albert "Tootie" Heath and Percy Heath, and was one of the greatest and classiest jazz groups in American music and jazz history. James Mtume comes from a rich legacy of jazz history. Perhaps you should try be a little more respectful with your comments. I mean, you were the one here watching James Mtume play with Miles Davis on European television in this amazing band.

[@awreckingball]

No 'shredding' on that stage. Just music making. A refreshing contrast to the jazz circus acts predominant today.

get some ears, BRUH

[@FawleyJude]

A bass player friend told me it was a Fender Jazz bass--popular with funk players of the time--on the Jack Johnson album, but I couldn't tell what kind of amp he was using. I'm not sure it made a difference, the Fender Jazz was known for its big fat sound.

[@emilianoturazzi]

he nevere realized that his perfect partner in tis period would have been Ornette ... I've always wondered about such a partnership.. even for a recording project and just one tour. I know it can sound weird, and that probabily Miles hated Ornette, nevertheless I think it could have been a great encounter

[@williemakeit2346]

Actually Miles came to appreciate Ornette by this time and incorporated some of Ornette’s philosophies into his own music.

[@EthanS1481]

Ye, this was wonderful - but without at least one of the 2 funky original parts - Yesternow is not complete for me...

[@cali22boi]

Keith was perfect for this line up. Funkier and went well with the "blacker" direction Miles was heading towards.

[@MichaelJeter3571121]

Everyone is talking about Keith, as they should. Perhaps the most interesting thing is that Keith, who, after this band, will never play another electric/electronic instrument and has said the only reason he played electric then was for Miles, is, as bassist Michael Henderson has said, was having as good a time as anyone doing this.

[@zztop2ful]

Shame he never did after leaving Davis, I'd love to hear some albums by Jarrett on electric piano :)
