My fave Miles Band. This was the Bitches Brew touring group. Miles wanted the record company to film the tour, but they didn't and missed the whole thing. Thank heavens for such a high quality recording as this to surface so many years later. This is one for the ages!
Saw them ( augmented with Airto and McLaughlin) in Ann Arbor @ early 69. As Bitches Brew was not out, I went expecting an evening of In a Silent Way.. This group came out and blew the audience away- no one had at that point, heard Miles play such sounds. Great memories
Thank you for this gem of information. Totally makes sense. The sound has the same spirt of BB. Do you happen to know any other albums where the band played with Miles? It's also my favourite one too.
This is what happens when a Band of geniuses find and extend a mode of operandi designed to condense their history of individualized experiences into a nuclear explosion of clarity and emotional substance.of the highest order.Each of their musical excursions,as an unit, was a masterpiece, which adequately condensed the history of jazz into a nightly statement of their group interaction. The music of the future had to change because of the important contributions of this Band in their present time! Thank you Miles, Wayne, Chick, Dave, and Jack.
...if you want to speak in latin, learn it. Mode of operandi no, modus operandi yes...Just a little comment, you're sayin' about Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack de Johnette, you know? Well, don't tell only to open your mouth but try to say something...if you cannot...shut up and study, it's better.
This is my favorite period of Miles. I hardly think, other than 70s Fusion outright -- anybody can touch Him!!! But yet...There Are Always Other Flavors.
22:04 hilarious da horn paired perfectly with da train I’m riding coming to a halt. Ironically I was having a thought of how jazz is all feel, as is life. Subsequently jazz is life as much as life is jazz. And dat horn tying with da train made it connect sweetly.
A profound teaching lesson. Life offers, all of us, an opportunity to condense all the memories of experiences we hold near and dear and translate them into a new vocabulary to reassess our present and define the apparatus we will design and use for future undertakings. This is an unique exercise in revealing the history of jazz up to this point. There is so much music in the breath and space between notes and the assumptions made by the individual artists that the words -revelatory and transcendent - do not adequately cover and describe this experience. Each set, played by this Band, was a masterpiece.
Extraordinary extravagant: madness with method. I thought about the Corea’s solos and tried to find a term. Jazz Atonalism, was the one my mind arrived at.
Astonishing! I often find that, although I love free jazz, I am satisfied after about 15 minutes or so. But this just fascinates the whole way, and the dynamic range is unmatched. Everyone plays his ass off for sure, although to my ear, it is Jack who stitches the galactic tapestry together. He’s been my favorite musician for about 50 years now, and every time I hear this early stuff it just adds to my admiration. I wish there were more recordings of him with Chick and Dave. He did tour with Chick and Bobby McFerrin, maybe 15 years ago, I’ll never forget the three of them just standing at the front of the stage trading scat. Hilarious and adventurous and heartwarming. Thanks for this upload!
@@kofferfischii Perhaps they go into some forms at some point but from what I heard this is definitely freely improvised and it is jazz so that would by definition be free jazz.
Help me out here. How have I never heard this before? Live Evil is my favourite record of all time. And this is the beginnings if that vibe. Is this before In A Silent Way? It’s before Bitches Brew. Is this then the first ever example, of what we would regard as Fusion. Either way, what a line up. Jack DeJohnette is other worldly. It’s also great hearing Chick Corea where it’s not his band, and he’s part of another band. So not dominating because they are all at his level. I’ve just heard it for the first time on my Bose earbuds, whilst walking the dog, late at night, enjoying a modest toke. Thanks for putting this up. Gonna have another listen. London x
@@davejones5745 Yes In a Silent Way could be considered the beginning of fusion so you’re not really wrong on that at all. Miles started delving into fusion with his albums Bitches Brew and Live Evil as well.
This is one of the kinds of music where you sound better if you're drunk. And to think Sam Rivers was too avant-garde for Miles in '64. More like ahead. And yes, I listened to the entire thing before I made my comment which should be a rule.
and people wonder why Miles did not like white people want would guess maybe the cop did pull them overand Miles got over, the car and said something derogatory to the police officer at the time and the police officer who cares nightstick and smacked him right in the throat that's why if you listen to Miles's voice box is very badly damaged with at least playing you noticed that he turns his back. To the audience my estimation Miles Davis was genius what women young boy he did not do what you can't and started argument with police officer mama why people love his music if you go see him play when he was alive he would never look anybody right the face I really don't blame him but that was the time and Charlie Parker was the same way he did not like white people I guess it was time for the police officers created black people lightshit and that was very wrong but that was the time I have all of his albums when he played blue note I guess we'll never see above, I like Miles Davis God bless whatever he is
LOVE-LOVE-LOVED everything Miles put out with Herbie, Tony, Ron & Wayne throughout the 60s. I'm not a fan of this though. All of these artists could be soo musical! THIS "Double Image" is not musical. It is literally cacophony. Those of you who disagree don't bother telling me I "don't understand it". I was featured in Rolling Stone, had a record contract and opened for Thelonius Monk etc in 1968-69 playing this style with my band Smoke. But I grew out of it. THIS style reflects the turmoil of the 60s. It is now passe , obsolete and tedious.
Hi Keni, I played in Smoke from 1975 on. My videos of our 2012 reunion (of the 1976 Fantasy studio sessions line-up) are on my page here at YT. I have many tracks of our Smoke sessions from the late 1970s on my soundcloud page. Also, I released a CD and digital album "Wandering Spirits featuring Salah Webb" in 2020 (Webb on polyphonic synth and beats, myself on viola) -- it's pretty cacophonous though, LOL -- reflecting the turmoil of the 21st century! I presume you know that Woodi (Salah) Webb passed away suddenly this spring. I attended and played at his life tribute in Palo Alto back in July. I'd like to be in touch with you; I'm working with family members to process the treasure trove of tapes of Smoke left behind by Webb. He'd been a good friend for 40 plus years, and we'd continued playing together up until I left California in 2021.
I tried searching for your band, curious to hear for myself whether you were actually playing in this style or just thought you were, but it seems to have vanished, like, well... smoke. I wasn't born when you were opening for Monk, but I and many others find this music vital, meaningful and inspiring. Every note makes sense to my ears. I don't find this to be particularly "out" compared to say, Braxton or Taylor or some of Sun Ra's more experimental stuff. It's mainly blues-based, really... not in form but note choice. It's fine if you don't like this music, but to claim it's not music is just silly and arrogant. "Passe, obsolete and tedious"... does that describe this work of art, or are you looking in the mirror?
@esolarceoaol "passe , obsolete and tedious" haha, thankfully none of those things are true. Perhaps a bit of projection going on. Never heard of Smoke, no idea what that even is, but I'm guessing it fits some of your own descriptors. All of your credentials have absolutely no bearing on this stunningly beautiful music. Funny to me that some people still don't understand that there's no accounting for taste. never has been, never will be. Just because you moved on, don't expect the world to fit your tastes.
And what do you expect from Miles at this point, hard bop, or a continuation of the great quintet? Miles was always on the forefront of change and this was the next step!

Free Form...Free Jazz. Avant Garde. Sun Ra, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Ornett Coleman. This is what was emerging at this time.

Why is intelligence linked to music ??
Aye awrite . .Musicmaster 5950 xtra !!
I'm always stuck rewinding Wayne Shorter's solos. So gooood
très bel enrégistrement, cd difficile à trouver, non officiel, et pourtant tellement précieux.
One of my favorite Miles groups of all time!
それならば懐かしのスマートBGMタイムは東京メトロポリタンテレビジョンTOKYO MX様などが流してくれますよ。資源統一ですよ。どす恋BGMですよ。
I heard/saw them at a Newport in July 1969; my jaw is still on the floor…
Wish I could've seen any of miles' groups
They also played the Schaefer Summer Festival in Central Park, tickets were $2
That’s when Wayne was late showing up right?
22:04 hilarious da horn paired perfectly with da train I’m riding coming to a halt. Ironically I was having a thought of how jazz is all feel, as is life. Subsequently jazz is life as much as life is jazz. And dat horn tying with da train made it connect sweetly.
last 15 minutes or so of this are incredible.
My favorite group of all time.
Thank you my man, now lets hope it spreads like wildfire
The people who love it will spread it! (like you & I)

Saw this group in '69 in Toronto at the Colonial.
Nice, wish I could've seen any of Miles' groups.
Me too! The night after Sonny Greenwich subbed for Corea; Sonny was there, but didn't play.
This ish is THE best. They are living in each others' musical shoes.
Why don’t I have this ? Wow .
This explains so much .
Yup
#Breathtaking
Great stuff on a new year. Thanks for the upload
Fabulous jazz album from genius jazz musicians
What a wonderful piece of art...! 💎
DANKE!! THE GODS!
Wayne shorter é fora da curva
magnifique Milles Davis 🗽♥

Wow some of the abstract stuff on the 2nd track sounds almost like Stockhausen.
they were into that then

I agree Live Evil is a terrific album. This album is awesome too!!😮
I believe "In a Silent Way" was the beginning of fusion, but I could be wrong.

@@dylangatenby9928 I always considered Bjitches Brew as being In A silent Way ll. Especially the mixing and editing.
And this came from both earbuds you say? Name the two.

Miles en su vertiente jazz rockera, ¿ Mozart hizo rock alguna ver? Cambió de estilo y amplio tantas veces su sonoridad....
Mile was hard cat to with but those who made it in the music they was ALSUME. PEACE
Check out the 'transcript' !
Airto should have been here...🎉 😊
👍🇦🇷
I prefer this group to the Herbie group actually. Call me crazy.
maybe i do too, idk, herbie got some crazy licks but this is more free
crazzy
but to each their own
Excelente💯🎹🎺👍
My favorite was the Keith, Jack, John, Gary and Michael band.
💛🌱🌷🙄
is this gemini into double image or other way round?
Fue en Roma, no en Paris, el 26 de octubre de 1969
fixed
I hear a lot of using space and Stockhausen influence.
Can you give us the date of the concert?
I'm not sure, but the Discogs page says that it was actually recorded at Teatro Sistina, Rome (Italy) on October 27, 1969, instead of in Paris.
12:44
This is one of the kinds of music where you sound better if you're drunk. And to think Sam Rivers was too avant-garde for Miles in '64. More like ahead. And yes, I listened to the entire thing before I made my comment which should be a rule.
who was playing the flute
should be wayne shorter
there's a second flute heard around 47:00. i believe it's chick corea actually. this part with the feedback is especially beautiful!
Keith Jarrett played flute and alto sax on the side, and he was with the band by 1970… maybe an early appearance?
24:33
This is a bit abstract. Like the B B tracks that would have been too difficult for public consumption in its time.
and people wonder why Miles did not like white people want would guess maybe the cop did pull them overand Miles got over, the car and said something derogatory to the police officer at the time and the police officer who cares nightstick and smacked him right in the throat that's why if you listen to Miles's voice box is very badly damaged with at least playing you noticed that he turns his back.
