  • Miles is the King Midas of 20th century music.

  • the song Human nature is one of the greatest R&B songs ever composed not a pop song. do not underestimate Michael's abilities he had everything in him it's just that his sufferings were overpowering. Michael was a genius in his own right and no one can challenge his artistry.

  • @05031993ish You know that MJ didn't write "Human Nature", right?

  • @jds122567 yes he didn't write the song but he made it 10 times Better with his sensual singing. And other than that he could have disagreed to do the song if he didn't feel that the song was going to be a hit. You see great artists get to know about the success of a song before releasing it and he knew it.

  • It remains for a long time!

  • I'm sorry I never got to see him in concert, so I just enjoy all the video's.

  • Miles never got on stage if he didn't think he could sing from the heart. I am so glad that Miles covered a song from MJ . That only shows how Big MJ was. I'm so in love with both of them!

  • @daeelly Miles Davis also did a Cyndi Lauper song, Time After Time.

  • love it

  • reminds me so much of kenny g :) i love listening to these unknown artists, so much potential.

  • @FantisyLand You've never heard of Miles Davis but you've heard of Kenny G? WOW... Check some of his stuff out. especially if you like potential in the artistic and inventive side of music. I recommend anything that Miles has done, especially from the 60's on up to when he died. He had a hand in the creative roll of almost every musical genre and everything in Jazz since the 1940's.

  • @FantisyLand wtf???unknown artists???its Miles fucking Davis ..he's as unknown as Elvis...why he did this shit i dont know ..probably some tribute show crap put together by fucking quincy jones ..as for kenny geeeez ,,he's a technician ,,Miles is a musician,,big difference,

  • god!

  • what bothers me the most is that miles was one of the most influential musicians to ever grace existence, yet michael jackson dies and this youtube clip of a montreal performance i have seen and listened multiple times, which then had about 60K in views, blew up to nearly 2.5M in views. don't get me wrong, i absolutely love MJ, but being a bigger fan of MD than MJ, i feel that because of his genius, which affects music daily, he should have at least 1M views per video on youtube.

  • Miles, I love you, and always will.

  • XDD What the fuck, i nearly fell out my chair laughing so hard at the beggining

  • Miles makes smiles, peace be with you

  • This video was linked to me in my Music 101 class and I must say I am pleased. There's so much to learn from MJ and Mr. Davis.

  • mind blowing God I love Miles. That man takes me on a trip and I am clean.

  • I never knew Miles Davis but after listening to this I think I'll start listening to him.

  • @mcstatat

    you're in for a hell of big surprises.

  • I'm only sad because I never got to see him live. My absolute favorite! Rick Braun, Chris Botti, guys like these always pay their respects to miles. A leader, never follow anyone. Change his style of music when he felt like it. R.I.P. MR. DAVIS.

  • Miles Davis was cool. people who aren't are threatened by that vibration. great exploration of melody.

  • I started to listen to jazz around 10-15 years ago because i wanted to play different styles of music (i play bass guitar) other than rock and pop and Miles was the starting point for me, total genius.

    People like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, David Sanborn, Thelonius Monk and Herbie Hancock speak to me through music. Can't imagine my music being the same without the influence of these guys.

  • Check out this Miles Davis sample!!:

    /watch?v=YkP6XVK1zos

  • quem veio aqui por causa de A FAZENDA dá um joinha...

  • the greatest hands down !!!! so misunderstood !

  • Miles Davis was a black black man and so am I, may he rest in peace!

  • @ZwankyTanky Colour is meaningless especially when you are confronted with genius on this scale.

  • @ZwankyTanky Imagine if I said 'so and so' was a white white man and so am I. Thats how stupid it sounds. A lot of people devoted their lives to making race and colour unimportant (Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks etc... etc...) and yet people like you insist on drawing attention to colour and ethnicity as though it makes a big difference. You shoud be ashamed of yourself. Read some books on civil rights and learn what people suffered to get where we are today brother. Peace.

  • Can't believe it's been 20 years since his death....

  • People of Jazz World. I just posted an arrangement of "Just Friends". We would like to hear your comments as this is our first attempt with Jazz. Please click on my link 'alfonsopablo' next to this comment to listen.

  • not everyone know that miles davis invented beeing cool

  • awesome interpretation of the original MJ song! my dad used to listen to this in my childhood, i'll always remember it! R.I.P. Miles Davis

  • There are few musicians who have changed the frontiers of music as Miles did. Very few indeed.

  • Miles and Michael the m&ms of the milennium.

  • Yeah the comment wars are a pretty funny phenomenon to observe. I just love this song either way.

  • He is just plain GROOVIN... mmmmmmmm... in his own

  • R.I.P. & R.I.P.

  • at everybody i thou this was miles davis song and michael jackson remade it.. correct me if im wrong bt i swear i thou miles davis was the first to come up with this beat..

  • Also, can someone recommend other jazz like this? I have so much trouble finding this style of jazz...

  • @thepliosar1

    maybe that's because it's Miles playing over a Michael Jackson song. So basically pop?

  • @FliegendeHollaender I'm looking for jazz with this feel, not pop.

  • @thepliosar1 You're looking for jazz pop then, or smooth jazz. Basically you're looking for pop played with jazz instruments.  Try Kenny G. Personally, his music makes me gag, but he is the best selling instrumental artist of all time.

  • @topraman519

    it bugs me that kenny g is mentioned below a Miles video. Here we are talking about the most influential jazz musician of our time, one of my personal heroes, and definitely one of the biggest artistic geniuses the world has ever seen. What's wrong with him playing a Michael Jackson song? People have to stop putting boundaries to what they like just because the label doesn't feel right. It's not Jazz, It's just a very good pop song played by Mile's trumpet. And it's good.

  • @FliegendeHollaender 1000% agree with you,haters can eat a dick,a line is a line, a melody is a melody,a hook is a hook,and fuckwits that disagree can go sit in the corner and practice their fingering

  • @FliegendeHollaender

    What are you bluffing about miles davis is an fusion jazzist

    i read wikipedia

  • @TheTeenageAnarchist

    fuck yeah he is.

  • @FliegendeHollaender non dire niente quando suona davis ...e' meglio per te'

  • @jaimy375

    αυτό ακριβώς εννοώ κι εγώ.. Ποιος νοιάζεται?

  • @topraman519 the Duotones album is the real deal from Mr. Gorelick!!!!!

  • What kind of jazz would this be considered?

  • Cool version...........Love Stevie Wonders @ Glastonbury, too.

  • 134 people like justine beiber

  • JB likes Miles. Cool.

  • Though Miles is not the maestro of techniques nor speed, each and every notes blown through his horn are 'soulful'.

    More importantly, Miles is the one who, throughout his career, always expand the horizon of jazz.

    R I P my great man, life is so short, but your music prevails through time.

  • I recently found out Miles was the cousin of my great grandmother

  • @Hylianmetroid and I'm his father sad I saw him leaving us but RIP my son....

  • @KatschaturianKonopke LMAO FUCK OFF MIKE IS WAY BETTER

  • Miles Davis became a rock & pop star in the 80s, and the fact that he was a very respected by stars such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, with more just a proof of the cruel man he really was.

  • Paulinho, show them whose boss on percussion.....1:41...respect

  • looks like he's sweating ... this is the drug

  • @celinorastelly could be he is wearing a black winter coat on stage.........

  • ok my trumpet experts......is that not a mistake at 1:51?

  • @kevcas73 there's another one in there too - but really - you can't make a mistake if you're Miles and you're improvising

  • @kevcas73 what? how is that a mistake?

  • @kevcas73 If you want to hear music without mistakes go listen to some muzak. This is improvisational artistry.

  • i find it ironic how my name is myles davis

  • Love it!

  • in spanish "miles" meaning "thousands" yeah thousands of people love you forever

  • sun-glass-wearing ladies and gentleman are only now beginning to catch up with the ever-lasting Mr D

  • i love this version!!!

  • is that paulinho da costa on percussion?

  • @kevcas73 , it looks like him doesn't it? I kept thinking to myself this guy looks like the percussionist from Weather Report. Miles was a bad man. Many people only know of him and Coltrane, but to actually listen to these cats you know that they were on a whole other level. Musicians are artist and they go into zones that many of us cannot even try to delve into. That was Miles.

  • im trying to remember what song sampled this intro,,, i think its a hiphop song......anyone know?

  • The first part of the song is the bell in our school before a new lesson -.-'

  • "..Love uttered note by note - soft kiss of breath, life and song shouting praise, pain overcome - ecstatic freedom, rhythmic conversation, your trumpet punctuating drum, a pulsing phrase - tubes of bright-hued neon through a smoky haze." -Richard Sidy 2004 "Miles"
  • Gracias por compartir ...MIles ..the best.. ever....

  • can sum1 tell em wat dha notes is

  • Love this song. Davis is the most influential musician on the past century.

  • MILES IS A GOD......PORTUGAL LOVE MILES DAVIS...

  • MILES IS A GOD......

  • Sure amazes me how people can criticize the end of the greatest career of a single jazz musician; especially seeing how this man changed the face of jazz, oh, maybe 5 or 6 times (take your pic). Cheesy? I wish I could be as cheesy as Miles. It would put me head and shoulders above the rest--right along side him! Remember, this is his interpretation, not ours. I'm sure MJ never complained!

  • @blacksuave youboob blows my mind forever,ususally I'm not as restrained as you,I'll research the punks page,not be suprised when it is almost ironic,and then rip him a new vagina.I actually changed my youtube to chrome so i could disable the comments,but alas.Get used to no brained,no history,no clue fuck-tards posting their dioreaha and forever dying in the anals of fuckwitockrity

  • @blacksuave It isnt even MJ's song. HE didnt write it.

  • @npgfunk WOW...genius! I bet Bettis and Porcaro would have never had the song recorded outside of Mike, but had it have been, it would not have been a tenth as popular--so, no, MJ never complained!

  • @blacksuave haha your so right, tho, have you heard the demo they gave Michael of human nature, does not sound at all as the one we all know, that's because Michael and Quincey always put their touch and genius at a song, like stevie wonder said about MJ and "i can't help it" Michael made it his own, another great thing about michael, the demo and the finished song always sound extremely different, like smooth criminal, before it was named chicago 1945, then Al Capone, and both sound different

  • miles the greatest

  • miles is jazz...

  • great song by Steve Porcaro.

  • 131 don't know what real music is....

  • Miles Davis too cool. I'll give him a pass. He earned it.

  • just cool

    

  • I love MJ, and I love Miles, but this cover just doesn't do it for me. Human Nature is an amazing song, and Davis is one of my favorite jazz musicians. But his phrasing and arrangement in this one are subpar, and in the end it comes off as a cheesy joke. I'm sorry, but this is insulting to both parties.

  • Maybe the dislikers know that as far as Mile's music goes, this really sucks. I have a great respect for him and what he accomplished in jazz, but this stuff he did towards the end of his career doesn't match what he did previously.

  • There's a beautiful statue of Miles Davis outside the luxurious Hotel Negresco in Nice' France, the man's music is well appreciated all over the world.

  • @Sirjazz

    Thank You so Very Much for this wonderful Posting of One our True Legends.

    We will honor You every time We play it On our Station.

  • Mr Miles. Big man! against all adversity

  • this guy is not big ladies and gentlemen... is not huge... IS MILES DAVIS

  • im learning this song by hear with my alto so far i think i know all the notes just need to work out the rhythm, Miles plays it amazing

  • ok love the sax on this so maybe we could fall in love with beautiful music again. x

  • @sh13671 its called a trumpet

  • @EFBoler

    I didn`t even write this comment. V rarely on youtube. So embarassing. Not sure who wrote this -could be one of my kids.

  • when was this performed and how long before the "Great One" left us?

  • awesome rendition Miles is definitely in a class all by himself.....RIP

  • hâha_lEÛtê_sÛcht_mal_nách:_oli­kohle_åÛf_goóglÊ_vÒll_gêîl

  • Two of the many music greats! I miss them both soo much!!! RIP Miles Davis and Michael Jackson!

  • 127 people like stupid screaming trumpet playing that don't make sense when they play!

  • 00:23 'til infinity

  • Screw those negative hits and let the positive thumbs up rule. RIP Miles

  • I am stunned that Miles played this- there was no need at all for that. Weird. It is just a corny pop song.

  • @gillan5 maybe it was out of respect....you know respect right? A musical icon like Michael Jackson.......aside from what you think about his personal life.......Respect.

    k

  • @kevcas73 It IS just a pop song - not Beethoven. Besides, talking about respect: that guy Jackson did disrespect his own body!

  • @gillan5 I think I will go with Miles judgement to do the song. When you write/produce/sing a song or songs that 100's of millions of people love, like Michael Jackson did, then you can and should post on Youtube. But until then, your opinion and mine is 2 cents on the dollar.

    Respect

  • @gillan5 And what does that have to do with his enormous talent level and who are YOU to judge

  • @gillan5 f..k yourself

  • Almost as good as the original!

  • An innovator of jazz paying tribute to the King of Pop...there's some kind of beauty there that I can't describe...

  • @GreekFire25 LOL michael jackson died waaay before Miles Davis

    

  • @DannyGPictures How you mean?

  • Only as a mortal being can one Rest In Peace. Thank you for letting light:) and allowing life. Human Nature and Uncle Miles, nasty concoction, whew.....................

  • Not the best MJ song Miles could have picked to play, but then again all the good MJ stuff was written by Quincy Jones.

  • Win Win situation Miles playing MJ

  • Miles, one of the best!

  • maravillososo thanks

    

  • He also did a cover of Cindy Laupers Time after Time the same year. must have been around 1986

  • I love Miles...

  • The Best doing a cover for The Best . The world might explode.

  • The worst posture for a trumpet player ever lol... but yet Miles Davis is so amazing

  • From bebop to hip hop, the man with the horn did it all. Thank the that he let Mr Davis visit for awhile...

  • Miles Davis, Michael Jackson and their colleague, Whitney Houston: The three greatest musicians of all time in America! Would have been awesome if they had made music together.

  • davis really shows the changing of the years in his music, but most certainly his appearance. I preferred him in a black suit and tie, well cut and elegant. here he just looks out of place. but to each their own :)

  • A true and unwavering constant in music - a real gift to posterity - Thank you Miles!

  • The best ... ever ...

  • He was named after me.

  • THIS IS MILES DAVIS AT HIS BEST! Pure an tremendous quality! Thank`s al lot Miles for enriching my life with your music and interpretation of jazz at it`s finest, R.I.P.!

  • 122 people are not aware that Miles Davis invented being cool.

  • @hatebunny Ha! Good one. This is one of my favorite songs and the only song I like on the Thriller album, one of my favorite and only Jackson album I listen to is 'Off The Wall'. I also like John Mayer's rendition. But you are correct in saying that Miles Davis indeed invented cool.

  • @hatebunny

    That's true, but the musicians remember him as a terrorist.....

  • baller

    

  • amazing!!!

  • gewoon formidabel!!!!

  • I totally love miles and respect him a lot but he's really not in good shape in this performance : (

  • @cezarsantana a real pity... Anyway, I think there are better ones.

  • So fucking gangsta. Love it. Miles man...legendary.

  • This man was the best and so misunderstood !

  • Isaw Miles five times in concert and each one was different.A great artist.

  • youtube.com/watch?v=EKB_Th9Xrh­8&feature=channel_video_title

  • Don Cheadle as Miles Davis

  • @Ausir2001 I agree with you. I can't see any other actor playing Miles except Don Cheadle. I just hopes that he kills it and does Miles some justice, because Miles was a REAL character.

  • wonderful

  • He even did Cyndi Lauper. Miles did what he wanted.

  • only if Michael had colaborated with Miles on Human Nature.........how good would that would had been?

  • Yau Mo Gau Cho'

    Touching and is what it is. Brilliant!

    See you guys up there at some stage

  • my feelings are substantial because it is my opinion. Lets be honest, the guy what flat out strange. Jesus Juice? Countless settlements out of court. The guy only made 5 or so albums. The sad thing is that he probably died a virgin. He was way too unstable to handle that type of success. Give me the "off the wall" ANY day.

  • @troutmask1970 Countless? LOL. The 1993 Chandler case was a civil case--all those rats wanted was money. Had they been interested in justice, they would have pursued a criminal case, but then again--you don't get a nice sum of cash if the defendant's found guilty in a criminal case. By the way, Sneddon, the corrupt DA, kept that investigation open for over a decade--and he never found any evidence. The FBI reports completely exonerate Michael, and expose the prosecutors as the rats they were.

  • mike was a great music man but I don't respect him as a person.

  • @troutmask1970 Why not? Have you got anything substantial to back up your feelings? Meaning, anything other than hearsay, or rumours/allegations? The man behaved excellently towards all, that much I can tell you factually--that can be observed in every instance of his life. I don't respect him as a person--that would be such an understatement--I am left in absolute awe at what a wonderful person Michael was, far more than most of the people in this bloody world, for sure.

  • @rainbowheydrich I didn't respect Michael Jackson for one reason. For going through all those surgeries to change his skin color?

    I mean.. Was that really necessary?

  • @RedHouseStrat He had a skin disease called vitiligo--he didn't want to be white, as some tabloids would have you believe. He always supported the black community. It's too bad that only after his death, those idiot rumours were put to rest. His autopsy confirmed he had vitiligo, and even in some pictures from the Thriller and Bad era, you can start to see the blotches he attempted to hide with make-up. As for his nose, well, everyone has things they don't like. His dad used to make fun of it.

  • @rainbowheydrich Sorry for sounding ignorant. I really didn't know anything about that before. I know it didn't happen because of him having racism. I know he was a good guy, but I just didn't know about that disease before.

  • Like a shaman, he comes down with his snake at 3:50....leads us to the edge of reality

  • That is sweet  Jazz
