Miles and Tony Williams 4

[marko1970]

Mr Chronic, Cobham is one of the best drummers, one of the most influential, plus he created a style that has been copied numerous times by many others. So lay off the drugs, and come back to reality...



[mcoz747]

who gives a fuck about terry b.

[marko1970]

@mcoz747 We do!!!

[HippieDrummer06]

My favorite Tony Song!

[babygilbert0]

it's too good too much to handle

[Adudewithastick]

HOLY FUCK

[ExtraFreshDinosaur]

wow. unbelievable drumming by tony..the 17 year old who re-taught the Miles Davis group how swing

[porgie66]

what the hell? Miles' group with Jimmy Cobb and Paul forgot how to swing. Nonsense.

[ExtraFreshDinosaur]

I didn't mean that they forgot. It's just that those two groups swung in completely different ways.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Oh my goodness.

[Metrowood]

Certainly one of my favorite of Mile's periods. This group was fucking raw and Tony had everything to do with it

[BigshotSpike]

His ride cymbal patterns blow my mind.

[jonfuckingrules]

listen to that right hand!

[picchaz]

WE MISS YOU TONY !

[Beatpoet19]

Seeing and hearing Tony is so cool. I wish someday I can play Jazz like that. It's BEAUTIFUL!!!

[sicilianbabe8]

This quintet is the freaking best and I am just so happy someone had a video clip to share. When they went to Europe, one of the headlines read, "They played like GODS." I agree. This was in the late 1960's. Too short and very appreciated. Thanks This really made my day!

[buckethead17]

thats herbie and carter right?

[oskarveliky]

oh yes :-) Ron Carter and Herbie Hancock

[buckethead17]

one of my fave quintets of his. i also like the one with zawinul, and the weather report gang

[oskarveliky]

Yes, the Weather report is also an awesome project. Anyway the main person from the W.R. besides to Joe Zawinul is just Wayne Shorter, who plays here

[buckethead17]

yeah, wayne is amazing. anyone who ever shared the stage with miles was in a league of their own though. Miles' and zappa's musicians were always nothing short of amazing.

[nrobnas65]

i feel the same way, because I notice similarities with Terry bozzio and tony williams. I mean, terry has that same energy, not exact, but enough to notice terry could have been influenced by tony. i don't know. I like early bozzio anyway. this new stuff he's doing makes me think he's not even the same guy.

[Frisbieinstein]

Tony at a workshop said he dug Terry B's playing, so I guess you are on the right track.

[mrcronic]

Terry's main influence was Billy Cobham

[thenxtgeneration012]

bullshit

[mrcronic]

Hmmmm, so I guess Terry was bullshitting in the interview when he said he use to study all the Billy Cobham stuff, before getting with Zappa.

(nxtgeneration of Jerkoffs)

[phoneboothplus1]

Yes, but a person can have more than one influence, right?

[bsonor]

@mrcronic I mean this in the nicest way...cobham sucks!

[Jdheav01]

Tony is Insane!

[Contraposst]

damn it!!! why are the videos so short!!!

[alithea1]

Ginger bread MAN

[jasmine2kenya]

holy shit. this dope!!!!
