Im 52 and I've been listening to him and all the greats basically since 1970 when was born ,my late mom was a jazz pianist from Harlem in the 60s and a music teacher
This is one of the classiest jazz pieces ever... It evokes feelings of Uptown nightlife, shiny motor vehicles, cigar smoke and tall buildings. Beautiful.
One of my favorite recordings from this group. I love how each solo plays right off the last lick from the previous guys solo. These cats were the best of the best.
Personally I like the live version better for some reason. Seems like they were all loose and enjoyed playing the song more live Than recorded.... or maybe it was the atmosphere... who knows.. lol
This will sound fresh 200 years from now. Children haven't been born that will be hearing, learning and possibly playing this music hundreds of years from today. Davis will be remembered as the Mozart of jazz.
I first heard milestones in the summer of 1959 when I was in bed on a Saturday night with my radio plugged in to Radio Luxemburg where we all thought it was all recorded. I had extended my aerial all around the room to try and get the best reception. That evening was almost perfect reception and the introducers were Peter Haig and Bery Reid. All was perfect until the saxophone solo when the reception started to falter as it always did at some time so I missed some of it but I loved it and this was my introduction to Miles Davis and in my view he never did anything as good again. People who were not around then never knew the excitement of Radio Luxemburg. It was the only pop commercial radio station and everyone was so gentlemanly then. You never even minded the adverts, They were never overlong. A sad cry from what you hear today.
Jazz perfection. What else can one say? The most lyrical musician ever. The way he communicated his emotions and feelings through his trumpet is pure genius.
There's nothing better than being home alone with my cat on a rainy weekend with no appointments, lighting up a joint and pursuing my hobbies while music like this is playing.
スケールがモードになっても、唄心がまったく変わらないのは凄いと思います。〝マイルストーン〟の疾走感、大好きです。 I think its amazing that the swing feel doesn't change at all when the scale gose into mode. Milestone`s sense of highway driving. I love it.
John Coltrane was a musical genius in his own right. I don't think anyone sounded better playing with Miles Davis than John Coltrane did. What a pair!!!
So cool indeed. Recordings used to be so expensive and they needed most of the money for drugs ;), so this one recording was near perfect enough for their taste. I think they were right! :D.
Terry, I replayed that 3 times, and no doubt, it's a flub, but when you're Miles, there are no flubs, just "accents or flavors" I reckon. Takes a horn player to even notice, I guess he didn't want to ruin the mood for a retake. Brilliant song regardless.
Love this...….found it on WRTI-FM- Temple Radio. Great song!! Reminds me of driving on the highway about 85 mph in my 78 Pontiac Firebird. Just moving fast. Love the song and loved that car.
Forever a classic of mine and my mom, she introduced me to this and so much other wonderful jazz ever since I was a toddler when I was 2 years old back in 2002. I need to give her nice big warm hug today.
His playing on all the labums of this era including kind of blue is more polished and pleasant than coltranes, but he didn't lean into the modal thing as hard. Coltrane was always at the forefront.
I've honestly been looking for this song for about 6 hours... first thought it was Charles Mingus and looked through every song then thought it was Duke Ellington.... looked through all his songs........... BUT I'VE FINALLY FOUND IT!!!
This first cut, "Miles," is possibly my favorite jazz tune. It drives away the blues, the heebie-jeebies, and the yips in addition to making the heart and mind soar around who knows where.
It paints pictures in my head like watching 'on the waterfront' with my dad late weekend evenings and urban environments in '50's colour and fashions sprawling through my head just wonderful....
When I listen to music, I like things that evoke visuals regardless of genre, such as classical and jazz. Miles is worth it. He doesn’t necessarily explain difficult things. He may be doing difficult things, but he does his job in a catchy and cool way
When I was in junior high school, I learned about Miles Davis on the local radio program "Midnight Jazz Report." I also learned the word personel at that time.
Timeless, he's rrrreallll great, and he played with all the other fabulous musicians...through the times---love burning the times--buildng a new Rome-- building a new tomorrow....that's how it goes.
Lo escucho desde los 6 años mi padre siempre lo ponía los domingos, me crié con grandes del Jazz , Davis , Coltrane, Getz, ...hoy con 60 los sigo disfrutando y transmito esta bella música a mis hijos...
Cannonball Adderley, in my humbled opinion, out finesses Coltrane on this track. The off rhythm, the bending/squealing of notes, the twisted timing, then returning to syncopation. Ingenious.
Love the echo effect in the head between the leading trumpet tone and the the horn backing up with those chords. And in the B section Bill Evans is playing the chords with that same delay . Really creates a syncopated feel.
ATTENTION MILES FANS: The tune was actually entitled MILES. MILESTONES is the title of the album (Columbia CL-1193). MILESTONES was also a misprint on the first selection of the B-side, which appeared on numerous copies before Columbia Records finally corrected the title of the tune. The tune, MILESTONES, was composed by John Lewis, which was recorded on August 14th, 1947 at Nola Studios in New York City. Yard was on tenor, Miles on trumpet, Lewis on piano, Max on drums and Nelson Boyd on bass. It was Miles' first record date as a leader.
Jazz was a revolutionary music which freed musicians from the conundrum of medieval structures and allowed musicians to explore their own expressions of life through their musicianship. Long live Jazz!❤😃 DJ
I just played music after almost two weeks, I couldn't stand music for almost 14 days because of depression, and bam, all of a sudden I felt I could listen to some Miles Davis, and man was I right, I couldn't imagine a day without music and this song brought me right back to it. My advice to depressed and anxious people out there- feed your brain and your soul with this kind of music, you won't be wrong, keep it up folks. Peace
Coltrane showing you what he knows ... Cannonball giving you hints of depth and class ... Miles is so not in a hurry to let you cool down and realize he is the Boss ❤. Thanks for sharing . Not forgetting the bassist , pianist and drummer . Thank you TH-cam for helping to preserve things via the media

In my opinion the mid to late 50’s to the late 60’s had the greatest Jazz in its history.
Agree my favorite jazz period is around the 50s/60s.
West Coast Jazz, Bebop, and Bossa Nova has to be my favorite subgenres out of these decades.
@@huntrrams Love west coast jazz, I liked hard bop over bebop just cause it always leaves you with a melody stuck in your head all day
60's and 70's had the best jazz

Cannonball has such a joyful, spiritual sound on Alto. It sounds like a sunny breezy day
Real cool Jazz from the late great Miles Davis in the late 1950s.
I've been listening to Miles since I was 14 I'm now 65.
Timeless
I'm listening since I was arround that age, 14 or 15. Now I'm 21. And with 60 I will listen too.
You beat me to it...I'm 61, damn it!!
In Germany we call you "Ehrenmann"!

@Guitar Lava that's the kind of positivity i can appreciate! love anti-gatekeeping

I know right, he plays like how a butterfly flies.

60 years on and this still sounds as good as the first time ... timeless.
Most instrumental music to me is timeless because the listeners’ imagination can take them wherever they want to go.
Well said
Yes! This is my mantra about music! 🙏
my favorite Mr Miles Davis! i wish you were still around! thanks for all the joy you bring through your intelligent tunes
So clean, so precise, a portal to our best possible lives rendered as sound.
Miles Davis isn't just the greatest trumpet player of all time but he is one of the coolest cats in history and is jazz music personaified
Thats a legit argument...miles best jazz musician to graze the planet
This is my all time favorite Miles Davis track, what a jam
Pa pa pa pa,pa pa pa pa,pa pa pa pa paaaaa......incredible sound....loooove this!
Exactly !!

So cool indeed. Recordings used to be so expensive and they needed most of the money for drugs ;), so this one recording was near perfect enough for their taste. I think they were right! :D.
this boosts my self esteem. thank miles!
Terry, I replayed that 3 times, and no doubt, it's a flub, but when you're Miles, there are no flubs, just "accents or flavors" I reckon. Takes a horn player to even notice, I guess he didn't want to ruin the mood for a retake. Brilliant song regardless.
Forever a classic of mine and my mom, she introduced me to this and so much other wonderful jazz ever since I was a toddler.

Miles one of the great bandleaders of all time without whom a large share of the greatest 20th century music would’ve never happened.

I've honestly been looking for this song for about 6 hours... first thought it was Charles Mingus and looked through every song then thought it was Duke Ellington.... looked through all his songs........... BUT I'VE FINALLY FOUND IT!!!
Isn't it a great feeling when you finally find it, though?
You honestly thought this Charles Mingus
+La Cappin The Charles Mingus Band has an excellentrendition of it, I highly recommend you give it a listen
Already have
Frankly I've studied almost every jazz musician I am making way over to classical side and I'm only 14

Cannonball, amaziiinggg frases, ritmic and Melody. And the Rhytmn section is superb!!
With a glass of wine chilling and loving Miles music. GREAT!

good job Ninguang ;)
@@alosyus lmfao
This is so pretty, Mr. Davis. Nice lil' sleek, classy groove. I absolutely love what's going on underneath the trumpet.
It is without a doubt one of his best
I have been listening to Miles since the early 50's. I am now 88. But this music gives me the same joy and makes me feel young!

Miles' first great quintet. I remember listening to this tune on Symphony Sid's radio show when I was 16 years old and in high school...
Cannonball Adderley 'quotes' Fascinating Rhythm beautifully during his saxophone solo!!!
This song is the mood I'd like to have on Monday mornings while running to work..
In a dream world.
Man this guy knows how to Jazz like a king. Great song!
Miles Davis, el mejor del mundo.
The Rolling sounds of Cannonball, are sounds that can only be the inspiration of our great creator ! Motivation of God !
magnificent still till this day and that bass player doesnt quick !!! slides from one transition to the other and never lagging. thumping
Khaba Sahure' Any idea who that is on bass??
paul chambers
This is pure class in life. This is High Life represented in music.
0:39 That intro is just godlike
Petter NV It's remarkable. And then he quotes Fascinating Rhythm in the most wonderful way.
But did you hear the Rite of Spring quote at 1:10?! The horn solo from The Augurs of Spring Dances of the Young Girls. I mean COME ON!!!
You can get the intro as a ringtone for iPhones. I have it and each time I get a phone call I just let it ring
Terrific!
Go listen to Fẹlá Kútì's "Shakara"...
No group has played MILESTONES any better than this original...... The economy and clarity of playing is just beautiful.....
When I was in junior high school, I learned about Miles Davis on the local radio program "Midnight Jazz Report."
I also learned the word personel at that time.
This music got my feet moving, now my legs, now my hips...whooooaaaa....SMILES....
I thank my father for introducing me to jazz with this song.
this song showcases solos without showing off and the rhythm swings and never veers off count miles always had the baddest bands
If I had to pick a sound track that represented my life, "Milestones" would be it hands down!

@reggie walker I’m 62 and heard miles 1st while riding bus in Detroit after school ..much respect
At this point, Miles was the coolest man on the planet....
I love how Trane "answers" Miles in the beginning of his solo. Trane and Miles complemented each other perfectly, even more so than Bird and Diz
thats why miles was so pissed off when he had to fire coltrane over the Heroin use. He knew coltrane was irreplaceble.
Miles answers Cannonball at beginning of his solo, also.
still growing as a jazz guy, what do you mean he answers Miles?
tonal vocabulary...music does talk...
Very good players often begin their solos by continuing what the last guy was playing and then mixing in their own material as they continue.
…the background bass and piano is softer but so important -beautiful mixing.
The baseline is so important
Indeed, the way they anticipate and augment. Boss level.

+Iskaldt UK The first
+john maleski Incorrect. Cannonball has the first solo, followed by Miles, ending with Coltrane.
+Iskaldt UK Coltrane has the third solo.
And you can repeat that for Kind of Blue as well. Cannonball just lights it up.
Jep, and during this era it was just another day at the office with nowhere to go but up.
One of the all time great riffs....ba ba ba ba

Love the echo effect in the head between the leading trumpet tone and the the horn backing up with those chords. And in the B section Bill Evans is playing the chords with that same delay . Really creates a syncopated feel.
