    Cute lead and follow with Miles and Chaka. Loved his face like "Got her!" Anyone thinking that Chaka was out of her league here is sadly mistaken. She is one of the most prolific Jazz singers, and the lift that she has in her upper register is incredible. She easily scales up to a B5 without even using her head voice, and her total range is ridiculous. She clearly didn't know the song, as she came out with written lyrics, and was enjoying the improv. I will say had she known the song better, it probably would have been a different performance. But they had fun, and it was a nice set. #mastersinsession

      Chaka did a beautiful impromptu job. She grew up to Miles Davis's music and her dad was in a jazz band. That's likely why her voice sounds so jazzy. Another thing that helps Chaka is her superb enunciation while singing out the lyrics, confidence and willingness to patiently sing off the band's performance. She has a great ear for playing off the band. Anyways, Chaka is a pro on stage, make no mistake. Started her stage singing at age 17, and still current on tour... she's no rookie.

    It's the first time I see Miles smile ! I had the immense privilege of seeing him at the Nice Jazz Festival in 1987 (there were also Stan Getz, Wynton Marsalis and Dexter Gordon in this festival, imagine the atmosphere). Here in Montreux this Chaka's improv which would have been requested by Miles, and we can see how he appreciates her, not too often we see Miles smile.

Yeah, after being in the woodshed for fifteen hours a day. Otherwise, their fingers couldn't physically do the things that Parker and Cannonball Adderly do. And they couldn't hear the notes that Miles plays so beautifully.

      Geert Van Boxelaer Semi-disagree. I suck at 85% of most intermediate rock songs. Never mind metal type double bass. But I CAN do funk. I have natural timing already. I'm a fan of the 'nome for sure, but TH-cam is FULL of little bumble bee effers flying around on a kit with 8,000 hits per measure and no groove at all...jmo. I think funk might be in that "in the crack" pocket. Not straight, not too much swing, but smack in the middle.
      Think "I want you" Marvin Gaye's "sofa practice tape." It's got a weird beat. 1, 3 on kick. 16th on HH. Snare JUST on 2. Forget the stupid and dated disco final product off the album. THIS is interesting. I've showed it to guys who play way better than I do and can't find the pocket on it at all. Because there has to be room for despair in that beat.
