This tribute was played by the legendary formation with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Tony Williams. The trumpet was played by the youg star trumpet player Wallace Roney who did not try to emulate Miles but instead played his music. This group has produced in the sixties unforgettable record documents, such as "Filles de Kilimanjaro“, "Miles in the Sky“, "Seven Steps to Heaven“, "E.S.P.“, "Sorcerer“, "Miles Smiles“, "Nefertiti“.These titels have written jazz history. The quality of the music and the atmosphere in the audience leave nothing to be desired.

Wallace played so much like Miles and he even kinda looked like him too. So sad about Wallace, we love you. He was truly a great like all the rest of these guys. Wallace, Miles, Tony just a few that will always be in our musical hearts

@@JamesHarris- take a look at the Health Minister for Wales, Vaughan Gething, he’s a Herbie double. I was stood near him just a few years ago, I was so tempted to go up to him and say “Hi, great to meet you, I bought your album Sunlight when I was just 13” … I’m sure he must be aware of his likeness.

I was twenty in 1992 and this quintet was the first jazz concert I attended in my life , it was at Zenith in Paris and the first part was the Mc coy Tyner Big band ....!!!! it’s just amazing when I think about it .......... Since that day, I am deeply in love with jazz !! Thanks for sharing !

Incredible artists. Divine music. Musicians like them should never die. We miss you ❤

[@danielschnee2666]

The power and restraint Tony is displaying on So What is insane! Considering the huge amount of technique he had, he is leaving tons of space then crashing into the flow of time in such incredible musicall ways. It is REEEEEALLY hard to play things like that: to get an overall feel so perfectly intense, well timed, open yet dense, technical yet measured... Tony is playing at God-level in this... and then Wayne floats over it all with that wistful tone... absolute mastery. It is a crime they did not get a roaring standing ovation for the first tune...

This is one of the best jazz concerts I've ever listened to/watched. The intensity, dynamics, and report these guys have is beyond words! I think Ron Carter's solo in the middle of the concert may be the best bass solo I've ever heard (35 years of obsessively listening/professional bass player)

[@RonCarterBassist]

[@AlexisGonzalez-sk5ne]

I saw this Tribute here in Chile 1992 , what amazing performance.

[@davisoneill]

This is a truly brilliant tribute to Miles. Precisely because Miles never played music like this. Here we have five masters of modern music pushing the boundaries of the possible - which is the only possible way to pay tribute to Miles.

[@teddyz8138]

Actually, these performances are pretty close to what they were doing back then. Especially live, the quintet really pushed the boundaries with tempo and soloing. What's remarkable is it still sounds fresh and relevant today.

[@timages]

I'm in heaven! Love the way they reworked some of these essential jewels of Jazz music. They're all tremendous! I've forgotten how incredible a drummer Tony Williams is. Both Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock take turns dazzeling us with pure improvisational magic. Ron Carter can never be equaled, and although Wallace Roney is a brilliant musician, hearing him with the great second quintet only made me yearn for the great Miles Davis that much more. Thank you for posting this!!

Wallace Roney was mentored by Miles Davis from 1985-1991. He played with him in the studio & live, of course he sounds like Miles Davis, but he also was a student of both Clark Terry & Dizzy Gillespie. At times he sounds like them.

[@agamemnonpadar5706]

Love that them didn't just did a tribute reinventing the past, but played amazing music which had the Miles Davis sound, but was individual art the same time. For me it is music at its best. It is not like the Count Basie orchestra of our days, a top big band, and an entertaining one, no question, Basie is my most favorite Jazz artist, but it it provides a diluted version of the orchestra led by the Count. But maybe comparing this group and a big band is like comparing apples and oranges.
