"MILES RUNS THE VOODOO DOWN" (Miles Davis)

[BenjaminKersting]

Friends, damn good music, what do you think?

[rumbukd]

Very nice attempt. No one can really interpret what Miles, Chick, or Jack are doing here, but nice rendition. Good trumpet tone. The groove doesn't really hit until a couple minutes. Nice work beyond that. This is my favorite song, so maybe I'm being a bit nice. Valiant effort.

[Roddeo29]

... no groove. Why would you attempt the grooviest tune ever made if you're bass player can't groove?

[RareNoiseRecords]

@Roddeo29

Are you for real? Or just frustrated? 

[Roddeo29]

@RareNoiseRecords of course i'm for real. are you trying to tell me this bass player is grooving?

[RareNoiseRecords]

@Roddeo29

I think the quality of the recording really does not do justice to the performance.

[RareNoiseRecords]

@Roddeo29

I also think Matt Garrison has a lot of groove

[Roddeo29]

@RareNoiseRecords but he's not even playing in time

[cadmiumblue262]

Bass line is way off...sorry guys, not impressed but don't take it wrong. You're trying to recreate a work of true genius.

[ManFullOfBeer]

these loser comments on here trying to talk to you guys about understanding jazz and musicianship, creativity and expression, ect... they make me laugh in pitty because if they actually understood these things they would have never even thought to speak so egotistically towards others

[ManFullOfBeer]

really nice work guys i was hesitant at first with such a difficult style to explore but you've done great work with this... i especially love when it settles down in the middle and gets tribal... reminds me of what miles was doin with bitches brew....excellent.

[IANXNAILS]

great jazz should be left to great jazz players. try loving it more,,,its unformfortable...the rythme section like with most amatuer jazzz ,,,are missing the point,,, grooving,,,A young trumpet player asked MILES,"how can i be a better trumpet player,,,,Miles said " put more air thru your horn" its LACKING INSPIRATION (in spirit) dont give up, find more spirit,,, dont let the lower self distrakt you,,,YOURE ALL GENIUSES,,,find it ,dont fear it,,,,

[trawamaciej]

jak dla mnie zbyt swobodna interpretacja ale spoko jest ok :)

[macewindu67]

Damn I hate not living in the apple any more.

[candeaguilar]

I dont think so guys, trumpet is off, sounds like high school kids

[Bobbelden]

funny, we did go to high school. thanks for reminding us.

[gavinjoaquinolivas]

i like this better than the original

[twistswitch]

Electric Miles is Funkyy

[dbeckster]

Favorite free jazz melody of all time. Great vid, but better sound quality and mix would be sweet.

[bijouxmusic]

that guys look like Matthew garrison! is he the real Matthew Garrison? son of Jimmy Garrison?

[westcoast1965]

Cool... I like Tim Hagans and when I first heard him I knew "he's listened to a LOT of Miles". But that's great.. and he brings his own stuff to the the game. He's got feel and taste - nice stuff.

[redhouseportugal]

love to see new talent chase the master!

listen and learn and evolve!

[dhollseed]

bass guy at the beginning is a bit rubbish

[samsevern]

Extraordinarily COOL!!!!! Fantastic job on one of my fave tunes EVER!

[handymix]

tastefull fuzion jazz. its the best of all.

[lecarreso]

thanks bob, that's great

[retardno002]

Legendary bass line. Great job. I love you people and i love Miles. Just beautiful.

[PnoyzProduckshunz]

xxx naughty xxx

you're all a bunch of idiots. stop argueing. 8a

[micahj]

Tim is SO great!

[kaihelalahai]

Nice ensemble. Bob, can we ever get the Antibes 69 video (Lost Quintet)released in DVD form? There's one clip that surfaced here (AMAZING) and I didn't even know it existed. Maybe it could be boxed with the audio from both sets?

[TheRealRalphButtawit]

BoB you are a God for being responsible for the Miles Box sets and Columbia re releases

[meckerschorsch]

Vote for Miles!

[MontgomerylandFunk]

Don't try to be like Miles man. Just let out whatever you got and I'm sure it'll benefit the tune in some way.

[cali22boi]

Bob shoulda called me im a better horn player than Tim Hagans.

[Bobbelden]

Let's see what you got....

[cali22boi]

Oh snap its BOB!! Anyway let me record and post something for you in the immediate few weeks. BTW thanx for the OTC sessions.

[davidhilton]

@cali22boi you have anything up we can listen to? thanx,

[anandanaga999]

THAT IS Fuckin GORGEOUS!

[holysnaakes]

this is great! My favorite song off of Bitches Brew for sure

[gamby123]

Great trumpet tone. Very 'Miles-esque'.

I would have loved to see this performance.

[Bobbelden]

well..you did.....

[gamby123]

(in person)

[4sols1]

as good as dave douglas !

[OriginalChrisBrown]

I was wondering if anyone knew what Miles used for his original electric setup. I know he used a mouthpeice pickup, and I am pretty sure he used a wah pedal, but I was wondering what kind of pedal.

[cali22boi]

The same as Jimi Hendrix's, A Cry Baby

[OriginalChrisBrown]

Thanks for the info. Those pedals are pretty easy to find, but it's almost impossible to find specifics on what Miles used in his electric period even though there is so much written about that point in his career. Is this what he used for On The Corner and Live Evil too? That is some pretty crazy stuff but some of my favorites. Thanks.

[cali22boi]

Miles used the same equipment for his wah from start to finish. There is an interview that I cant recall who did it but its in a book that Miles around the "Fillmore Bartz" group that he didnt touch any of the other nobs on his equipment. Look up "Little High People" on the Jack Johnson Sessions. That's the FIRST time that Miles used the device. You can tell that with practice that Miles mastered the wah. Note the octave pedal on a few tracks too.

[OriginalChrisBrown]

I wonder how he got all of those sounds out of 1 pedal. Doesn't surprise me with Miles.

[cali22boi]

Uhmm...You can tell the difference when he has the harmon mute in or OUT when he is electrified.. I prefer it out, 'specially when he did "Turnaroundphrase" during the tunes infancy around May 1973(the tentet with Cosey, sublime.....). To let you know I'm 22 and a HUGE Miles fan and a trumpeter myself.

[OriginalChrisBrown]

I'm 19 and a trumpeter as well. I love Miles. I started getting into his stuff back in high school- especially the electric. There's nothing like it.

[TAB107]

very nice

[lorabayville]

miles would be proud

[tribbo7]

good work!!
