Don't Call Me A Jazz Musician: Gary Bartz on Miles Davis

[kingwestvideos]

please tell me where this dumb fuck retard ccan det some sense?

[DubChieftain]

the Miles DVD Live at the Isle of Wight features Bartz.

Good clip Bret. Yeah, "We are just blues musicians", "Tootin' the blues! " There's some scary playing going on here. Most of the people I meet think music is country or rock. Very few people are aware of this stuff & MD contribution to the evolution of the music biz and the music. I'm amazed & gratified when ever I run across people exposed to improvised music. They are few and far between. I feel fortunate to have been around to see this stuff live and follow Miles bands until his passing.

@heru1966 Wish I knew. A generous person sent me these excerpts.

Great heritage/memoirs video - grew up listening to 'Music is my sanctuary' and only discovered the other day that it was Gary Bartz - and then fell in love with Uhuru Sasa. So inspirational. If we don't get these guys to pass on the memoirs some of the unique histories will be left untold. Thank You so much JVG.

[ElAminNazir]

Jazz=Jass, as in Jass house musicians. Check BigBlacksPage for discussion on this topic...

@aaronamccoy

No doubt. I wish someone would throw Vietcong up on Youtube.

[Jazzanswer]

I like the word "Jazz".

To me it means something.

[greivsy]

Great video mate......Nice insight & not heard much of that music with Bartz. time to check out more new stuff

[neverwrest09]

[JazzVideoGuy]

[rutanfaner]

His Isle of Wight perfomance with Miles is stellar.

[bassreeves1965]

whats the name of this tune.

[unclejunglebass]

henderson was NOT the first electric bassist in miles' bands. ron carter played electric on miles in the sky, and dave holland played a p bass on all sorts of stuff from 68 to 70.

[JazzVideoGuy]

You are so right!  I stand corrected.

[unclejunglebass]

sorry i wasn't tryin to be a dick..... and your videos are da bomb, dog.

[JazzVideoGuy]

No, I appreciate your point. We're dealing with history here, so accuracy is important.

[MrTrueseventh]

[spericolata29]

thanks! good film- i am going to recommend it to others

[AstroScorp1]

Yes, the great thing about jazz musicians, the thing that shows their progressive brilliance, is that they don't confine themselves to conceptions of things--the true reality is that they are simply musicians--the truest kind.

[mymusicdiscovery]

Great stuff!

[tungbgs]

Great clip! Thanks for posting this one

[syr1811]

Cool to know this long-running sax-master has a Coltrane project coming out soon.

[HiggyVasquez]

Awesome vid Jazzguy

[sumphin]

I used to see Gary perform in Baltimore in the 1980's at a place called the Jazz Closet. Gary used to play there almost every weekend. I miss those days.

[FCntertainr]

Great video! I met Gary Bartz in the 80s and after hearing his 70s records did not now how great a sax player he was until I heard him live. I asked him about his Ntu Troupe's 'Harlem Bush Music and he said it was more like Black theatre music . I had not listened to any electric Miles till the 80s. Gary played on some McCoy Tyner records and others , I had to back track. Which is what most of us born in the late 50s have to do- FC

[JazzVideoGuy]

Interesting perspective, FC. Bartz has a Coltrane tribute coming out soon that I think you should check out.

[JazzVideoGuy]

Hey Taipei.

I'm coming to Taiwan in a few months. What's happening over there, musically?

[TaipeiDawg]

Wow, nice blowing by Gary!!! I was more familiar with the Steve Grossman's lineup.......... Awesome!

As always, thanks and keep up the good work!

This Miles Davis Band from 71 was the peak of Rock Jazz and Funk music
