I can't disagree with any of your picks, you guys, but I am surprised that none of you mentioned "The Cellar Door sessions" - for my money, a top three along with "Brew" and "Miles Smiles".... and all the others!!! Cellar Door is the ultimate version of Live Evil and just stunning.
Hi Pete, I would love to see a Keith Jarrett top 10 album ranking on SoT with you and your jazz buddies.
Dope selection. Pure awesomeness guys, thanks for sharing!
Thanks guys, took notes, more to explore
@@philjm3103 i've never heard Cellar Door sessions. got to check that out
My mom used to tell me that sometimes if order to learn how to love something, you have to watch someone who loves it. That is what SOT has demonstrated to me.
That’s awesome, thanks!
Pete, you bring the greatest people together to talk about music. Thank you so much!
I love the show, i love Miles.
And this period is amazing. Mindblowing stuff all the way through. More of this brothers. More of this.
For a moment I thought you were going to do a video ranking the entire discography. That would be like a 24 hour stream, lol.
Lol. And that would be something that would require of them months & months of researching & listening/re-listening to get through the entire catalog just to be able to rank them all.
Pete, I'm only half way through this, but already it's my favourite SoT show. Three guys who love Miles as much as I do. Any of the albums that were mentioned could be no. 1 - in particular I agree with Pete about On the Corner - my "hate to love" journey is exactly the same!
My Top Ten:
1) Bitches Brew
2) Panthalassa (Bill Laswell remix)
3) Live Evil
4) Agharta
5) Jack Johnson
6) In a Silent Way
7) Get Up With It
8) Pangaea
9) Miles Smiles
10) In Concert
Honourables: Circle in th Round, Directions, Water Babies...
ANDY/. Tremendous job. I learned a ton 👍💯
The Jack Johnson CD is fantastic!
Panthalassa is worth a listen. It's like a Trip Hop remix of his music.
Andy - "Cellar Door"?
Great job guys, I have a decent Miles collection, but definitely have much to learn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion for Miles
Big Fun is so hypnotic. My favorite out of the 12 I've got.
The albums of Miles Davis are more than just a catalogue of music, they're a historical library's worth of history with so much material that any one of them could easily be a number one because of how historically important they are. When you think of jazz, you think of Miles Davis, he not only defined the genre but he completely changed the face of the game forever. This was without a doubt, the best ranking the albums I have ever seen. Great job guys 👏
I agree, the best SoT ever.
You nailed it. thanks 😊
This video only proves I have so much to dig into from this era and other Miles eras, however, I adore In A Silent Way.
I’d say it’s in my top 50 favorite albums by anybody. Gorgeous, spacious, peaceful mosaics. A perfect evening wind-down record.
Been waiting for this a long time. Great show with so much information. I got into Jazz and Jazz fusion because of this channel.
Great show. What is noteworthy is that the live albums have to be included in any ranking of Miles Davis. Lots of ranking episodes of other artists on various channels do not include live albums because they are mostly standbys before a studio album gets made, inconsequential, or a marketing strategy. In the case of Miles Davis and his various bands, the live albums are as meaningful and beautiful works of art, just as much as the studio albums are.
Absolutely! Pangaea and Agharta live albums are Miles at his funk rock jazz fusion peak. So much to listen to in each piece. Discover something new with each listen.
Jazz in general pretty much this way to me because the studio albums are pretty much live (sure, there's Teo with Miles cutting things up, but its from live takes with no overdubbing)
"Miles In Berlin" is a great one for example, it's shows the 2nd quintett in 65 playing a very "1st quintett"-like setlist of standards and older Miles originals. They were all super young, vibrant with ideas and to hear them deal with those standards is super interesting.
Fun idea! In A Silent Way took over from Kind of Blue as my fave of his entire catalog around 15 years ago, so not close. I've gradually grokked his mid-70s stuff more and more, with Pangaea and Big Fun bubblin' under, just over Sorceror, Miles in the Sky and Filles de Killimanjaro.

I can't wait....1 hour and 40 mins of Miles chat. To me, the greatest single musician of the 20th century. Virtually any of his 65-75 albums could be my number one, depending on my mood on a particular day. Probably today, a joint, three-way tie between Miles Smiles, Bitches Brew and the Cellar Door Sessions. Thanks in advance, Pete and co. for this show.
I would say Miles and Jimi Hendrix are the 2 single greatest musicians of the 20th century
@@preving can't argue with that....my only reservation is the length of their careers. Who knows what more Jimi could have created if he hadn't died so young. Also, arguably, a lot of Miles' 70s stuff might not have been so awesome, had Jimi not existed.
@@philjm3103 agreed. i have a pretty good Miles Davis CD collection and I can hear echos of Hendrix in that time frame especially on the Jack Johnson CD
Miles playing at the Isle of Wight festival 1970 worth a mention - available on DVD- great improvisation.
Great show, always fun to watch and listen to.
This is a great discussion of my favorite era of Miles Davis. I even managed to write down my own rankings of the 20 LPs from this period.
The Electric Miles has such an immense influence on hip-hop and electronica, as well as post-punk, alternative and metal. This music was decades ahead of the curve.
Me two hours back with a whole bunch of Miles, all the metal box sets, anniversary editions etc.. "I have enough..there isnt any major stuff I need"
Me after watchin "Yeah, where is my credit card?"
Started, like Pete, when Chuck showed the complete Fillmore East and kept on adding up. Its like a....curse. A real curse.
This is just great, I added about 10 new albums to my music library. I love everyone's passion.
This is WHY i love so much this channel.Great job guys!
My picks :
1- Circle in the Round
2- Directions
3- In a Silent Way
4- Miles Smiles
5- Bitches Brew
6- Filles de Kilimandjaro
7- Miles in the Sky
8- Sorcerer
9- Nefertiti
10- Jack Johnson
"Footprints" was the first thing that grabbed me by Miles and that amazing group. Hypnotic but playful, as if these guys are right in the living room working out some music and doing so so well!
Miles Smiles is my favourite lp by Miles. Also Hello from the UK 🇬🇧
Wow...awesome show! Glad to see you guys all love that Psychedelic Afro/Soul Jazz-Free Funk-Acid Rock thing...think I got most of it in there.
Miles at the Fillmore East. Bill Graham had this thing of some very off the wall pairings. Miles & Laura Nyro?!? Miles & The Steve Miller Band?!? IIRC, Miles insisted on opening...even though he was the "headliner".
Awesome, awesome show with great insights into this magical music, thanks
Great stuff
Guys
Really enjoyed this one.
I dig way too many Miles albums to rank them, but love everything with Ron carter, Tony Williams or Herbie. Awesome catalog of magnificent music.
THANK YOU for this episode, one of you best best album episode so far as i'm quite the jazz enthusiast myself, no expert by any means, but i do love what we know as modern jazz or free jazz and early fusion if you like although i've never thought of those early fusion jazz albums as that, as the jazz fusion i've heard fro the latter 70's and onwards with your labels GRP and so forth makes me ILL/ANGRY and i'm veeeery open minded, for being a metal/punk fan as being the fundamental in my life, being literally born in to the music industry (well, in a hospital but....) and my father being a producer etc, was a blessing and not so great, which i won't get into here, but love the albums you picked i was very excited about what you would pick, and i agree with alot of what you said, and you're absolutely right with alt of your observations and THEE importance mr DAVIS have had on the world of music, indeed, even though i'm big on Coltrane (the other BIG one) Miles is my guy, and if i had to pick 2 all time fave Miles albums, which isn't easy and i've got some albums to get into, specially that mountain of live recordings that exist, and ALL of his era's, would be; Get Up With It AND Sketches Of Spain, to AMAZING albums in each their very own and different way, but in the end my fave period if i had to pick would be the era you discussed in this episode, thank you for this great talk/list/discussion/celebration of some of this masters heavy amount of output, hope someone will pick up an album by this great an after seeing this for the first time in his/her life 🙂
This was brilliant! Will watch again too. I've been getting into Miles over the past few months and you have all really inspired me to invest further in the catalogue. Brilliant guys 😎
It was a pleasure to listen to three guy with my taste in jazz! My unforgettable Miles Davis live experiences: Innsbruck (Austria) 1987 & Munich 1989
pete we need more jazz shows i love this stuff
Great episode. I’m always up for some Miles chat. You guys delivered.
You can NEVER listen to too much Miles or Coltrane.
Always great to hear what others get from the stuff you love.
GREAT call from Andy for #2.
What a great episode - so informative! Thanks guys!
Fantastic episode! My all-time fave musician and my all time fave period of his. Great to see so much love for this.
SOT's finest moment I've watched this so many times
Great video and rankings, thanks !
Would love to see an 80s one. The 80s is a definite underated period, very good stuff
Long awaited fantastic show, did not disappoint! The 90 plus minutes went by so quick! Andy’s episode on playing Bitches Brew while in concert with Robert Plant in typhoon Italy was precious! And great selection by all, will have to re-listen to many of the albums in my collection, and purchase those not yet in the collection!
video proof...th-cam.com/video/UvYFz1PzGoA/w-d-xo.html
Bought the box all the Columbia albums such an interesting catalog. Probably my favorite artist I have over 150 Miles Cd's probably more. please except this giant thank you for doing any sort of a top 10 on the genius of Miles Davis.
I know this is a tear old but this is my favorite because I just love listening to Miles and I have about 25 vinyls so seeing what I have against what Yous guys picked is so fun!!

Thank you for this Pete and gang. I'm a huge Miles Davis fan but my collection is skewed greatly to the classic quintets of the 50's and the Gil Evans stuff. I love Jack Johnson and In a Silent way but this really gives me some direction to explore!
Four and More is 1964 but I think that captures the urgency of the quintet live at it's finest.
Saw Miles live in 1991 in London. Bloody brilliant classic
Royal Festival Hall?
I saw Miles Davis 3 times, in 1974 with Sonny Fortune, Pete Cosey and Reggie Lucas (apparently Dominique Gaumont was out sick) in Paul's Mall, a small jazz club in Boston (I had a front row table--Miles was about 6 feet away), in 1981 at Kix in Boston with Mike Stern, Al Foster, Marcus Miller and Bill Evans, and in 1985 with Stern, Bob Berg on tenor, I think Vince Wilburn on drums, others I can't quite recall at the moment. The 1974 show was the best concert in any genre I've ever seen, 3 45-minute sets and a 20 minute closer. It's really not contest, and I've seen Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, Bob Dylan (3 times), John McLaughlin's original Mahavishnu Orchestra (twice) Muddy Waters, and other titans of 20th century music. The live shows from that 1973-1976 period are astounding. The three double live albums are essential listening. The two other shows I saw each had a different dynamic--1981 had some continuity with the mid-70s shows but was more lyrical, less dense. The 1985 (or 86?) show was extremely impressive, almost 3 hours of music, beautiful versions of Time after Time and Human Nature, and great work by Stern, Berg and I think Tom Coster on keyboards. Miles was very strong by then on trumpet, great tone and time. I love his final bands from the late 80s to his final shows with Ken Garrett and Foley McCreary. The studio albums just can't show how good his bands were live. Thanks for an astute review of your favorites.
Fantastic episode. I am so glad there are other Miles Davis afficionado's here on SoT. So much to discover in Mile's storied catalogue. For the Electric Miles years, here are my favourites:
1) Pangaea
2) Agharta
3) Get Up With It
4) Big Fun
5) Dark Magus
6) Jack Johnson
7) Live Evil
8) On the Corner
9) Bitches Brew
10) In a Silent Way
Great list, Pangaea is my Number 1 as well & my favourite album of all time.
@@jacobheaney3836 Indeed it's a great live album. I love both it and Agharta in almost equal measure, but given a choice between the two, Pangaea still comes out tops for me every time.
@@garyh.238 Yeah, I think that Reggie Lucas & Pete Cosey were the prefect fit for Miles’ music.
@@jacobheaney3836 Agreed, I love Cosey's playing on those live albums.
Tremendously excellent episode, guys! I don’t know how you all were able to nail down solid rankings for this; I can’t do it. I agree with Chuck that Jack Johnson might be the most accessible place to start for the uninitiated. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my delight over hearing the sheer amount of other artists (and genres) that were name-checked throughout this episode - Miles Davis’ influence was immense, but more so, it serves to highlight the fact that all music is ultimately connected.
Fantastic!!!
Hi Pete, can you do a top 10 album ranking on Keith Jarrett with Chuck and Andy?
1- Live/Evil
2- In a Silent Way
3- Tribute to Jack Johnson
4- Bitches Brew
5- Filles of Kalimanjaro
6- Miles in the sky
7- on the corner
8- big fun
9- water babies
10- Get up with it
As Miles always said jazz is what is happening at that moment in time and he always sighted Louis Armstrong as being a massive influence in the beginning of improvised jazz making, along with Dizzy.
So cool to see Andy on SoT.
Miles ability to bring in these legendary names, was a huge part of this period. He surrounded himself with” cream of the crop” jazz players. I think he took a lesson from Art Blakey. Blakey and the Jazz Messengers was the prior generation of jazz players. Interestingly, Shorter bridges that gap.
For beginners - A Kind of Blue. It's not from this era but there's a reason it's the best selling jazz LP of all time.
This has been one of the most enjoyable SOT videos. Thanks!
Great to see Filles de Kilimanjaro get a mention. One of my favourites of the era. I often like transitional albums, especially those cobbled together from different sessions that work well regardless. Most of my favourites came up but a couple of honourable mentions go to Live at the Plugged Nickel, The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 and one other. Recorded live in '64 but only released in '66, 'Four' and More opens with the most blistering version of So What. I've read somewhere that the band were angry as Miles had volunteered their pay to charity which he could more easily afford. You can hear the rage and Tony Williams is at his most ferocious here - It was pre-ESP so he was still very young. I'm aware I'm bending the rules but it's one of my favourite recorded moments of Miles' career and anyone hearing the track in question for the first time will surely forgive.
Miles Smiles is my favourite from the second classic quintet.
Bitches Brew is my favourite from the early fusion era. Apart from the gorgeous main melody from Shhh/Peaceful, in a Silent Way does leave me a little cold at times. I much prefer Filles before and the churning music from the Brew that followed.
Agharta and Pangea go together and so I can't separate them easily. They both have their charms and get the nod for favourite later fusion period.
Excellent!! Love you guys. Andy's channel rocks. Chuck, Pete and Dany really know their prog, jazz, fusion, hard rock. Great video! Andy's stories here are hillarious. I was laughing my ass off.
Would love to see a deep dive into Ornette Coleman or Sun Ra!
Purple Night, Don Cherry with the Arkestra, so good.
Pete, "Noisy Bliss" is spot on for "Maiysha" no doubt !And those guitars, really some of the funkiest, rawest and innovative ever recorded.Andy makes some great points about the way Miles' legacy has stretched way beyond jazz rock fusion into so many other genres like Jungle and leftfield hip hop and will no doubt continue to do so.I was heavily involved in the Asian Underground scene in the 90's in London and you would hear this stuff everywhere. Has any other artist reshaped music so often , so successfully with that much wild excitement?This has been my fave ever S of T rankings, joyous stuff thank you!! PS Dark Magus ...oh yes.
Great show, guys! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is my favorite period of Miles, so I was excited to see you all's take... I've heard the vast majority of Miles's canon, but I've still a good bit to hear (mostly later stuff).
Hey Pete!!! I have recommendation for a Tuesday night show....or something separate for the Fusion guys....do a each individuals Fusion Super Groups....It would be killer to find out everyones thoughts on this
Some of the best music ever made.
Definitely agree about Panthalassa (double album) so good! Would choose Circle in the Round too
I saw Miles twice. Once in 1974 in a club called the Smiling Dog Saloon, then again in 1982 in a bigger theater called the Front Row. The 1974 show was..."interesting." The band was just jamming the whole time with a funk jazz sound onslaught with Miles blasting above the din. I also learned that Miles was the Coolest Person On The Planet at this show. The 1982 show was much tighter, so it was more musically compelling. Guitarist Mike Stern was amazing, and the MVP of the show. Bill Evans on sax and Marcus Miller on bass were no slouches either. My favorite Miles album is Live-Evil. I had a cassette of it in the 70's and I must have played that in my car a thousand times.
Miles in the sky DEFINITELY in my top 10. Paraphernalia is one of the best ever Miles tracks. And Stuff is legendary... maybe top 5 for me
01 In A Silent Way
02 Bitches Brew
03 Get Up With It
04 Miles In The Sky
05 Jack Johnson
06 On The Corner

Great show, outstanding guests!
(And this from a viewer who frequently passes on lengthy guest-filled shows.)
Panthalassa got me into Miles. He Loved Him Madly is amazing
The picture on the back of Live Evil is q caricature of J.Edgar Hoover apparently.
Wow! Great job guys. Been a true pleasure watching this and seeing how much you guys love this stuff.
Awesome Show!

You've nailed it Paul. Tribute to JJ is enormous and "Right Off" one of greatest Fusion pieces ever with McLaughlin off the leash !
Not gonna lie , I’m a novice in this genre. But, this particular episode “ kicked BUTT. Fabulous job TRIO. Thanks a lot 👍💯
👍
I'm like the guys in the video...when I first heard some of this more 'out'/Free Funk-Jazz stuff(?)...I had a difficult time. BITCHES BREW took me about 20 years (bought it, in the '70s, when I first got into Fusion. It is nothing like The MO, RTF). Personally, reading along with listening helped me. Paul Tingen's MILES BEYOND is a fantastic read, IMO.
@@jazzpunk me too, some of this music took years for me to “get”.
I took good notes on this show😄
@@ericporter344 Pretty sure I have everything the guys mentioned. I pulled out Live At The Philharmonic (Andy's #10 selection) this morning. Not for the faint of heart. I need to revisit Panagea & its sister, Agharta. Been awhile. Will admit, I am not a big fan of In A Silent Way. Probably me... :-)
The musicians who started playing with Miles Davis were already more or less established names. One of the reasons was that Miles gave excellent salaries to his players, far better than the rest. Art Blakey is the one who gave a lot of musicians their first chance in the professional jazz world.

Bitches Brew, a classic,

damn guys. great discussion. what an incredibly rich period. There's stuff you guys didn't even mention, like the Plugged Nickel stuff and the Festival de Juan Pins in 69. You could make it top 20 and there would be no degradation in quality. I'm not sure you can even come CLOSE to saying that about any other artist over a 10 year period.
Lucille Handberg's tornado picture used on Bitches Brew and Tinderbox was also used on Deep Purples stormbringer.
Great deep dive y'all...Almost want to ask for a similar boots. Also, saw The Miles In Concert Band at The Shrine Auditorium, with Ms. Nina Simone, The Last Poets, & The Ujima Ensemble Featuring Reggie Andrews, in 1973.
I had no idea Panthalassa existed and I just listened to In A Silent Way off it. Wow it’s amazing👍
My top 10
1 Bitches Brew
2 In A Silent Way
3 On The Corner (as with Pete and others this album has been growing on me)
4 A Tribute to Jack Johnson
5 Live Evil

7 E.S.P.
8 Nefertiti
9 Miles in the sky
10 Sorcerer
Excellent show with thee well informed cats
What a fantastic show, have only really dipped a toe into Miles Davis, but looks like that could be changing, gonna need a bigger house
I absolutely love In Concert. One of my favourite live albums.
Excellent videos. I learned a lot. I was hoping one of you could me confirm something I read years ago regarding Bitches Brew. I som0ly can't find anything online to hel0 me recall the details.
I had read that Bitches Brew was a landmark album in the way royalties were paid. Up to 68 a flame royalty was paid per song but Miles had negotiated a deal where they were paid a length increments instead
I don't recall how long the segments were or if these were for the performer or songwriters.
Outstanding. Very informative.
There are magical moments on every one of those records, which makes them almost impossible to rank, however "In A Silent Way" to me is the one record, that is pure magic from start to finish. Only ranking electric Miles I'd go:
1. In A Silent Way (strong contender for best album ever)
2. Bitches Brew
3. On The Corner
4. Live-Evil
5. Big Fun
6. Jack Johnson (I think it's a great gateway into fusion for fans of hard rock, but to me it lacks a bit of that keyboard magic of the other albums of that period, also the drum sound is a bit too aggressive to my ears, "Right Off" starts out strong with Mclaughlin dealing some heavy blues licks, but after a certain time that hard rock shuffle has run its course imo and "Yesternow" is very patchy.)
I can't rank Get Up With It and Agharta and other live stuff, because I haven't bought them yet.
Fantastic as always!!!!
Agharta favourite live album of all time a shredder the 65-68 is awesome Miles has some insane box sets
Because of you 3 i have to buy more Miles. Thank you! :)
Although I have many many Miles albums my fav 2 eras are definitely the late 60's through 70's fusion era covered here and his 80's funk street jazz era. The Jazz snobs get up my nose by discounting these periods. I actually attended Jazz School for my musical training (guitar major keyboard minor) here in NZ which is our equivalent of Jazz conservatory's in other countries and to the tutors this was like heresy although all us students loved it.
I didn't read the title properly and was like where's Milestones or Kind Of Blue?! Derp. There's a great Miles concert with Keith Jarrett on ePiano on TH-cam from 1971. It's not an official album or video but it is absolutely killer in every way. Good lists!
Outstanding show. While I have a lot of this already, I am sure my Amazon wish list will grow today. Ugh.
Miles Behind is my favorite LP.
Amandla is my favorite Miles Davis LP.
Great episode guys!

We did that already! Check it out!
Interesting Pete your comments on the Bitches Brew artwork. I had the opposite effect from yours I envisage back streets of a city like New York with that dirty grimy feel for the most part. I guess we all have our own takes but a great album and is my No.1 from the period.
I haven't got any of the original albums, didn't really get into Miles Davis until around twenty years ago but when I got it, I fell hard. Brought all the Bob Beldon Box Sets. I could not pick. Great video. 👍
