@Cinct so true, this music is insane, at 1:15 where miles' and Herbie's lines combine and then make a complete move in the music and the whole band follows. That is what jazz is all about,I think the reason Miles was so succesful is because his rhythm section was so together.
PSALM 137:5,6, If i forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. God's chillun' got soul - God's chillun', only God knows! The heathen done gon' to humiliate God's chillun' - and God's chillun' done gon' a poor willin'. When will they return to serve God? For turnin' they righteous eyes from they enemies ain't hard. PRAISE THE LORD & CHRIST!!!!!
it's enlightening to truly know the history of Jazz! the hot skilled energy that was born from these oppressed men in america. spiritually disciplined and learned on their instruments to violate the code of ignorance. knowing their time as they suppressed their word speech. and instead, they rage a sound to touch the minds who truly and divinely care. it shocked many to learn that these humble men played their hearts out to hide the righteous hatred they had against racist america. JESUS LIVES.
We hear music, where Miles Davis, Telly Savalis and the original Miss America Pageants are all rising from the dead, it was the best of times, etc. etc.
you do have to understand it at least at a subconscious level. what actually happens when you "get" a song is that youre finally understanding how the notes harmonically fit together, in a way you previously didn't understand. you can learn a lot about music just by listening to it. the true genius lies in originally discovering them. this isnt just the greatest miles davis quintet, this is probably the greatest quintet to ever play in all of history.
I agree with not needing to understand jazz. The thing that matters is the aesthetic result produced by the organization of notes and beats. It is trans-rational. We listen to music not to hear it reflect ordinary reality, but to transport us to an interior, more beautiful state of being.
The important thing is to remember that you don't have to understand something to enjoy it. Just remember that it is an acquired taste, and that you may have to listen to something many times before it has a positive effect on you. And whatever happens, your reaction to any music is your own business.
Hope this reply is positioned correctly. You don't have to get it, and you don't have to like it. That's called freedom of choice. There are many rooms in the house of jazz: find one you like, and settle down and relax there. I have played and listened to jazz for over 40 years, and there are some recordings that I don't want to listen to that often . . . and others that I never get tired of.
I don't think you have to 'understand' jazz. I think it's just about enjoying the tunes, the musicianship and the way the individuals interact musically - like how the drums and piano respond to each other.
I may not always understand what Miles or Trane were up to on an intellectual or technical level, but I still greatly enjoy their music. And quite often I catch up to it later.
for those of you people out there that don't understand jazz: we most of us don't expect you to... go back to your own music. if you try to get into this shit later on in life, your head will explode.
jazz music isnt about how much knowlage you know... its about expression. still jazz is not that much complicated for everyone, ppl just dont study. But reason of music is emotion, if a song doesnt touch me, i dont like it.
it's just this type of comment ("...your head will explode") and attitude that cause plenty of ppl outside of the jazz arena to strongly dislike jazz heads... but anyways this was the sickest Miles Quintet ever assembled, thx for posting the vid!
The concert is from a German date in 1967. It is available on a disc called Winter in Europe. I wish I had the opportunity to see this particular line-up
a stage full of jazz Hall of Famers, back in the day jazz, is still the best jazz.

They're trying to explore and test the boundaries of group improvisation within a strong rhythmic but vague harmonic context.
Often, music like this has a "form" (like a skeleton) so that everybody in the group know where they are.
The most challenging part in playing this genre is to not lose the form in your mind.
If done correctly, and the band is inspired, playing music like this is better than sex.
I'm not kidding.
