Miles Davis & Charlie Parker - A Night In Tunisia

[Baritone45]

Is it Dizzy or Miles? Sounds kind of pointless like Miles' later music.

[ampiotrowicz1]

It's Dizzy. Doesn't sound like Miles

[GoldenFalchion]

Tried playing this in Jazz band for HS. It ended very epic, but couldn't be good enough for the concert.

[90eyehategod]

this is pure music, you can feel it...

[akanavouras]

Great era! Because of the 78cpm recording time limitations every soloist had 8 or 12 or 16 bars to perform. So, they tried to be comprehensive

[rmorte62]

I think Devo listened to a lot of Miles.

[SuperStuey2]

Posting is screwed up...lol..what a moron..



[LeInad35808]

Sorry, but why don't you change the title, 'cause there's no Diz? And he won't come along to tell you.

[GarzoHugo]

Dizzy Gillespie wrote the song, but, on this recording, Miles Davis plays trumpet.

[KingCrimson250]

One of Parker's greatest solo. Essentially defined bebop while making alto players across the country snap their instruments in despair.

I can see why Miles didn't have too many fans at this point, though. He's possibly my favourite jazz artist, but he really had yet to hit his stride and come into his own. He was still playing someone else's music, and he could pull it off but it wasn't really working out for him. Technically he was no Diz - but then he proved later that he didn't need to be.

[MrAlieno11]

it's a beautiful song!!!

[ThrashRoC]

That was the best Jazz ever , 50s cool jazz period , i just LOVE this sound !!

[kareemu13]

Why is it sped up?

[rikibitta]

@kareemu13 ...because they can.

[kareemu13]

@rikibitta lmaoo

[rikibitta]

@kareemu13 ...no man not my opinion, Miles says so.no offence.

[kareemu13]

@rikibitta none taken

1:18 o.O

[alexispassion101010]

this was just amazing !

[eruptionista]

The guy that doesn't like this hasn't realised he's got tinnitus

[mirrors1]

Io ricordo che la tromba dovrebbe essere Miles Davis

[MrJazzjames]

This is the best of the best. In the beginning, the alpha and omega of jazz, bebop call it what you want. The first real sax solo is heard in this tune. Miles was splendiferous. Bird was magnificent and the band in its entirety made history.

[nimrodlev333]

Who is the Guitarist ??

2:28 Just Amazing!

[eboyd32]

[Pajazzify]

1:16 ..... holy crap, that's good

[123must]

[itsame4002]

[IssueNumber1]

[Frank12345678973]

Anyone know the BPM for this?

It would really help a lot,

thanks.

[TheJazzplaylist]

Hey guys, Miles davis Picture is the default picture i use for all my videos. Sorry for the confusion

[Brookd88]

@TheJazzplaylist you need to not do that dude.

[rubens2501]

@TheJazzplaylist nice shot, though (:

[DavidF89999]

I definitely agree with the description.

[mrkingvon1]

come on now what do you want more....!-)

[marleanedc]

I was going to say, isn't that Miles?

[l0veDali]

i love this song i play it in my jazz band, one of my all time favorites

[roba32]

One person didnt have a night in Tunisia

[Hoffletrof456]

@budhaBOSS He learned the saxophone by failing miserably to the point where he almost quit music, and no disrespect, he did read music to an extent. But obviously he is much more than that. Talent is a huge part of that.

[vokaljim]

die beleidiger - funkrhyminmaster retrogott ..... zu derbe

[kevinhagan17]

if its bird and dizz, then why the picture of Miles???

[LimboShrimp]

@kevinhagan17

Bahaha, I didn't even think of that until I read this. Good question. I guess I was too hypnotized by the sweet music to notice.

[skoomskoom]

1:17 is nothing short of incredible

[stevanbias]

And just to tag on to things, that also nis a picture of Miles not Dizzy.

[WormYourHonor64]

@stevanbias That's what I thought!

[hustleniga7]

Cosby.

[JRR951]

Does anyone know who's playing guitar on this track?

[JeredtheShy]

I'm so glad I know absolutely nothing about playing trumpet. It means I can actually enjoy this.

[timmy841212]

Obviously that's Miles on the trumpet. I just heard Dizzy's version and it's slightly different from this.

[musickk810]

@timmy841212 ya deff

[natanoj16]

@timmy841212 you know that all versions that Gillespie played sounds different right? :-P that is what bebop is all about :-) but yea in this version i to believe it is Davis

[timmy841212]

@natanoj16 Yeah I'm aware of that. :)

[connorwilliams3232]

aren't his cheeks suposed to be more...poofy?

[GasolineAndNails]

@connorwilliams3232 this is miles, not dizzy.

[BelowAverage355]

@connorwilliams3232 Eh. It just depends. Some player poof out their cheeks. Personally I don't. I think it makes the airflow weird, but obviously some of the best players like to poof their cheeks. It's a personal preference thing.

[chavruta2000]

That's Miles Davis in the picture. not Dizzy.

[vummeli]

Dizzy doesn't play on this one... The band is Charlie Parker alto, Miles Davis trumpet, Lucky Thompson tenor, Arvin Garrison guitar, Dodo Marmarosa piano, Vic McMillan bass, Roy Porter drums.

[jelwagaa]

@vummeli Thank-you! People so often mistake this recording to be with Dizzy, it drives me nuts! Dizzy played in one of the dial sessions that took place a few days around the time that this session with Miles Davis took place. But any true Dizzy fan would be able to tell the difference in style easily. Moreover, by overlooking the fact that Miles is playing in this session, people are overlooking an important time in his career and the history of Bebop in general.

[VisionaryMessenger]

@vummeli are you crazy?it's a different sound...get a life and listen more music about miles and dizzy mac...

[vummeli]

@VisionaryMessenger

Just look this recording up in any discography and calm down. This is early Miles, 1946. He sounds a little like Fats Navarro, who sounded quite a lot like Dizzy, especially with a mute. Miles didn't start out sounding like he does on Kind of Blue. He used to copy other players just like everybody else, and at the time, everybody tried to copy Dizzy and Fats.

[MrStefanmusik]

@vummeli U are veru right there, sir ..:)



[HisRoyalMarkness]

Something's changed about that man...

[logansGT]

That must be Dizzy's impression of Miles Davis.

[goofy5192]

@logansGT hahahaha
