Miles and Tony Williams 2

[TheTeekayes]

I'm sorry but Tony williams shits on Bonham. And I like Bonham but really? TW is on a whole other level....

[TheMojoBeat]

1:36 - the song they start there is called Footprints if anyone found it interesting.

[adrianwaj]

The Led Zeppelin of Jazz. Williams = Bonham.

Live and play well enough to be called a legend, then you can critique what choice of cymbal to play.

[yassveena]

i think the sounds of the ride is a matter of taste in a way, later he used the pads on the toms, to me more his personal way to hear his music and create his sound and dynamic vision of rythm. but i love his purity in a dynamic connection.

[tannerdx7]

TW used that riveted cymbal due the sparseness of the music of its self. in a big you have a lot more instruments to cover any space in the music. with this quintet they all needed somethign to give them a constant backgroud sound. thus a riveted ride ride. it was a purely genius move in my opinion. but all in all. this was my absolute favorite miles quintet. absolute masters of jazz.

[LEONCODAJJ]

Solo de piano de HERBIE HANCOCK, luego entra MILES DAVIS con la trompeta

[condobleN]

He isn't even 20 years old in this video! Mother of god!

[tim0608011901]

[memzehni]

The tune is "Footprints" and you find it on teh "Miles Smiles" Record...the whole video concert is from the DVD "Miles Davis Quintet - European Tour 1967" and can be ordered on AMAZON [UK IMPORT]

[tim0608011901]

Thanks a lot!

[jjcj123]

What thatsmypeanuts says about riveted rides is true for both women and rides, its better to be tight and clean instead of loose and dirty, ya dig?

[flashbacktama]

@jjcj123

i like my ride dry, i don't know if i'd say the same about women....

[ArhythmticProduction]

tony, hahahahaha talk about a childhood prodigy. incredible.

[thatsmypeanuts]

I wonder if it scared Tony to have to play with Ron Carter for the first time as a teenager...

[Whatisthescore]

well`ron`carter`is`somewhat`of­`a`mean`spirit

[longfade]

From reading Miles' autobiography and different interviews, I don't think Tony was afraid of anyone musically. He came right in and started giving poor George Coleman shit! But who knows. They got together initially pretty informally, I think at Miles' house, and just played together while Miles listened remotely in another room, I think, so it was probably pretty chill.

[drummer78]

He thought Coleman was too clean a player. Tony liked to play with guys who were a bit more out there and willing to take extreme risks even if that meant making mistakes.

[firstritestelevision]

polyrhythmic in a truer sense less attachment to the one - two of the others.....creating a state of mystique and wonder some of the best ever

[ronoman88]

It's true the old saying that there is no such thing as a bad cym.

[ronoman88]

I know everyone commenting here is going to scream at me but I don't like Tony's sizzle ride at all. I wish he'd of used a ride w/out rivets. Or just a single rivet ride. It's a cymbal that should be used very rarely unless in a small room with a trio? What dya think. RIP Tony.

[ThoughtRidden]

I love the ride. It gives such a nice, dirty background buzz.

[ronoman88]

@ThoughtRidden "Dirty background buzz" is why they are awful. Cymbals when as good as K's don't need it.

[ronoman88]

@ThoughtRidden It is the dirty backgrond buzz that is very bad. I believe because it is Tony W he is given the pass. But nonthelesss I think it is not best. Best to you. R

[sxydrumr]

Yes we are going to scream (: If The Tony Williams played on the bottom of shoes we should all get a pair and hope for the best!

All the best...

[thatsmypeanuts]

I agree. Sometimes around this period he used a ride w/o rivets, and I definitely prefer the sound. It's a taste issue though. I like tight and clean more than loose and dirty

[longfade]

I feel the same way, thought I think this particular splashy ride might owe a little to the recording as well. My favorite recorded Tony rides would be right around 64-65; like "4 and More" and the Plugged Nickel stuff. Like you said, no rivets, nice and dry.

[HippieDrummer06]

@longfade yea it's the recording

[TingThing09]

@ronoman88 Normally sizzle rides help to fulfill the purpose of the ride cymbal in playing certain kinds of jazz. Unless you just plain don't like sizzles, you might get a better perspective seeing drumming like this live.

[ronoman88]

@TingThing09 With all due respect I've played 48yrs and I can look back at this with the upmost objectivity. the sizzle was a new experiment for that time that now in retrospect DOESN"T work. It ends up being a musical distraction.

Especially with K's. It's a bad idea that got popular and stayed on passed its time. I'll go one step beyond outspoken as well saying ride cyms in general are soo extremely ltd in application I don't use them at all.Best thoughts to all reading

[brokeandhungryxx]

@ronoman88 who care´s a fuck about that, clean your ears and listen again

[SpencerMA89]

that hookup between tony and ron is.... absolutely fuckin nuts thats the only way of putting it

[ronoman88]

Looks plays like Ron Carter? Not sure.

[gregoryburrows]

most indubitably yes, Ron Carter

[guitargodsam]

whos playing bass on this?

[ianhaightsyou]

what is the name of this song?

[fiddlercrab3]

Footprints by Wayne Shorter

[longfade]

Well, the first bit is the ending of "Agitation", then they transition into Footprints.

[GanDyPoop]

ORBITS ORBITS ORBITTSS WOOOOOOH !

[chrisjazzdrummer]

incredible...those guys groove so f**king hard

[Meursault86]

How he played like that at 15 I'll never know.

[Meursault86]

I meant 17.

[andrewtheman19]

lmao how he played like that PERIOD! Jesus...MONSTER. A MONNNNNNNSTER!

[Jazzguitar00]

If you ever read Miles' autobiography, he praises maybe more then anyone else. This club shows why!

He also adds that the other guys weren't too bad.

[picchaz]

WE MISS YOU TONY !

[Beatpoet19]

Thank you for posting this. I've always wanted to see video from "this" Miles Davis quintet. Honestly, I just wanted to see Tony playing, specially that ride cymbal. SWEET!!!

[knowlesah72]

Tony was one of the best drummers.....ever! To see all of these guys playing together is amazing.

[TeddyLeper]

Sizzlin' cymbal-work... ;)

[sicilianbabe8]

Thanks for this video clip of the greatest quintet ever...Tony Williams was only 17 when Miles found him and he looks like a beautiful work of art

[PandaDepp]
