Ditto, ...786. I was surprised by this recording, too: Davis and Young playing Lady Be Good. A small gem, for sure! Lester was in great form, by the way...
So I understand better how the Lift To The Scaffold/Elevator To The Gallows (the UK and US titles, respectively of Louis Malle’s film starring Jeanne Moreau) soundtrack came about. Miles must have liked the rapport with Rene’s trio enough to be willing to do the movie sessions about a year or so later.
So amazing to think of this in the context of the time: Chuck Berry, Little Richard doing their thing right about this time, with Elvis having a #1 hit every week for months. And yet bop is thriving and developing and getting worldwide recognition. 50's, man, like whoa.
You can really hear how brilliant Bud was in these two tracks. BUD LIVES! Bud Powell: Autumn in New York (V. Duke) -5 28:29 Bud Powell: I Want to Be Happy (V. Youmans-I. Caesar) -5 31:01
There are a few other recordings from this same tour: Nov 2, Paris: th-cam.com/video/orcHz8Xbc8M/w-d-xo.html Nov 12, Freiburg: th-cam.com/video/FczhlHFGvNA/w-d-xo.html Nov 19, Zurich: th-cam.com/video/0crKLc4DNnY/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
A lot of folk don't realise:. Lester Young was THE Stylistic Influence on Miles' playing. To go toward the OPPOSITE OF the Pyrotechnics that a Dizzy Gillespie would engage in -- blazing Trumpet -- and find ALL THE SUBSTANCE in a softer, less 'wordy' approach to playing. To say More, with less notes. What a smaller statement could imply...a fragment, even.
Thanks for sharing! My friend Rene &Co. did a good job backing Prez and Miles, but Bud's two solo numbers are from another planet. Even with all the imperfections his genius shines through.
So strange to hear miles flying around here…I’ve listened to a lot of Miles, mostly from the two quintets and the electric years (my favorite is Live-Evil). Miles is notorious for coming up with flawless lines on the spot, but to actually hear him soaring around (and before his embouchure went to the pot) is definitely something else. Thanks for the upload!
If you’ve listened to both of his great quintets and electric years then surely you shouldn’t be surprised by his upper register. He was soaring high like this (even higher in fact) on records like the Live At Fillmore and Live Evil albums. As for the records where his embouchure “went to the pot” as you describe: Miles was in constant pain and hospitalization due to sickle cell anemia, hip problems, and a litany of surgeries. Such things would obviously rob him of the ability to practice regularly and keep his chops in shape.
Amazing - after reading F. Paudras' book Dance of the Infidels" this brings Rene and all the cats including Bud - mad genius so incredible he can barely keep track of it but somehow does- ty uploader!!!!!
have just discovered this recording of 1956. Happened to be present at the recorded concert in Hamburgh being a ardent jazz fan of 17 years who was allowed to make photos of the artists during the intermission. Brought into this event due to my very good jazz friend, the unforgotten jazz critic and respected intellectual Werner Burkhard r.i.p.
@@aslazaimi5824that was about as funny as hemorrhoids . That's you and your jokes. Irritations up a stinky ass. Well done, silly child. Now, hush. Shh.
Got to see both of them at Keystone Korner in S.F. in the 1970's. And Miles, and Dexter, and Hutch, Green, Liebman, Sanders, Martino, Airto and Flora, Cobham, well, you get the idea...

I never heard Miles Davis and Lester Young together before. Wunderbar!

Honestly i don't think i ever saw Miles look happier, than when he played with Pres.
So I understand better how the Lift To The Scaffold/Elevator To The Gallows (the UK and US titles, respectively of Louis Malle’s film starring Jeanne Moreau) soundtrack came about. Miles must have liked the rapport with Rene’s trio enough to be willing to do the movie sessions about a year or so later.
wherever there playin now im there fabolous

miles was the living embodiment of super hot fire.
This's an event, I think's the one and only session with Prez and Miles together.

Miles and Pres, such great listening, thanks for posting!

que maravilla viejo
Listening to polka dot and moon beans it's like Prez is playing a scale, is this something like Miles does a little later with My Funny Valentine.
Great.
Classic
Makes a lot of modern music pedestrian
Great Music 11:30

Is Prez = Rene Utreger?
@@pomeranian82 prez = the president, Lester Young
Welcome back, and thanks for sharing all these pearls of "The Chief"...Yours is an invaluable tribute of love !!

Bud Powell!! @ 28:28
Esta vez fue Bud quien me hizo comprender otras cosas, qué grande es.
If only if Bud could have recorded with Prez...
🥀💙😀
Thanks!❤️

Thanks you , good sound et Nice pics !
Very good recording ! Marvellous !
quebecois !
thanks a bunch for this share - great stuff!
thank you
I don't care how much 'progress' music makes. Set it against Davis, Michelot's groove 14:24. I know what I would take every time.
You are not alone.
Thank you so very much
Thanks a lot for sharing this recording! Never knew that Miles and Prez played together.
Why didn't you know that asshole

Listen to Stan Getz wife interview on prez and the story about sonny stitt. Only one president who was president, and presidential.
Got to see both of them at Keystone Korner in S.F. in the 1970's. And Miles, and Dexter, and Hutch, Green, Liebman, Sanders, Martino, Airto and Flora, Cobham, well, you get the idea...
Well, mr.Timmons wasn't THAT imaginative as I thought, according to mr.Urtreger first theme.
この顔ぶれで悪かろうはずはございません
