MILES SMILES @ 0:48

[Hoopermazing]

This is right about the time frame where my interest in jazz ends. I can tolerate Dizzy and Bird, but Miles grates on my nerves. Pops, of course, was God!

[KhalDrogo76]

@Hoopermazing huh????? wow you're crazy

[Hoopermazing]

@KhalDrogo76 Most of what Miles did after "Birth of the Cool" was a load of cacophonous bullshit. Don't like it? Eat a dick.

[KhalDrogo76]

@Hoopermazing the 4 and more concerts are some of the greatest music ever performed in western civilization, sorry you cant snap your fingers to it...cat...

[seerskater]

i like how ron carter starts using harmonics to tune his bass while still walking at4:32

[pantomicino]

¡Qué agrupación!

[MSilberman]

I don't know why this is listed as "Improvisation." It's "Agitation."

[fleafunk121]

holy shit, Miles smiled!

[BlueinGreen2]

Surely Miles Smiles? :)

[tomitstube]

this tempo is sick. pretty sure it's not steroids.

heroin.

love you miles.

[jloch85]

ron is like 8 feet tall.

[boertush]

he could use that bass as a walking stick if he wanted to. ;)

[vazquezgonzalo]

@jloch85 ahahajajajajajajaj

[tommy33355]

r his drum sticks black or is that just the video?

[Streamline09]

I think this was in Germany, perhaps Stuttgart, around 1967. Thanks for the clip

[Jossyboy50]

Nice footage and i guess pretty rare. The tune's called Agitation and not 'improvisation' as the tape suggests.

Thanks for the upload :)

Wayne may be gone as you say. However,assuming this recording was made in 1954, the blazing 19 year old Tony Williams is not gone. This group is pretty much 20/20/20/20/20 on the talent scale, but I'd be tempted to plug in a 22.5-25 for this amazing youngster who left us in the lurch with his early passing. On the other hand, jazzart1, many thanx for your generosity.

[ilikememusic]

@tommythomaso this is definitely not '54 sounds lik '67

[tommythomaso]

@ilikememusic Ilike, this is definitely mid-sixties. I can't decide. When I play this Miles group: Shorter, Hancock, Carter and youngster Williams I think it's the best ever. Then when I listen to the Messengers with Shorter, Fuller, Cedar, I'm thinkin' this can't be topped. Then Shorter and "Soothsayer" starts playin' and I'm thinking it doesn't get any better.

[kambizzz]

Kouklev, I can reliably inform you that Wayne Shorter is in London, and I'm so looking forward to seeing him play tomorrow night at the barbican!

[kouklev]

WHERE IS WAYNE???????????????

[Drivethebeat]

Tape ended. The next solo was his.

[spitfirepilot]
