Miles Davis - Autumn Leaves - 1964

[PascalVillarubias]

A la base, c'est quand même le morceau bien conçu. Une excellente combinaison des harmonies, de l'orchestration... une mélodie qui accroche bien, un texte nostalgique, la petite larme en suspens... le morceau solide, capable de conserver sa force au fil d'interprétations variées... et puis Miles est passé par là... comme une tornade, comme un typhon... plus rien qui ne tienne encore debout... Sacré Miles! Quel déconneur, ce Miles...

[thesubtleface]

Thanks for comments guys but sorry still don't get it. The subtleties in musical taste continue to intrigue me. Vive la difference.....

[rothcam2]

all of these players perform exquisitely. Thanks for posting. I should have been there, even though I was 13. Tony was still a teenager I think..

[samuelperezcastillo]

great¡

[MrScoodles]

HAHAHA, I just said out loud as I'm writing, "Holy shit why does George Coleman sound so good?" It's Wayne Shorter.

[RookOfKells]

@MrScoodles LOL. and look at tony's face. smilin like a kid in a sandbox. he loved playing with wayne. coleman not as much. you can hear it in his playing!!

[Zachygee412]

In order to appreciate jazz you have to be able to understand what's happening during the whole song, most people nowadays don't have the attention span to listen for more than 5 minutes and get bored, which is why jazz is so unpopular because people have the attention span of a ringworm. This video was meant for people who enjoy jazz, not you naysaying pricks.

[juny6948]

You're kidding, right? Nonstructural? Have you really heard it?  Experimental, yes; but absolutely with structure. Are you familiar with the tune they're playing? It's one of the most known jazz standards and songs for that matter. This is unmistakable when you hear Miles play the melody )with some improvisational variation) and the solos sticking to the form, no matter how far out it may get.

[thesubtleface]

I'm glad I'm in company with at least three other people. Just as some people just don't 'get' say classical music I don't 'get' this at all and find Kind of Blue unlistenable. No structure, no melody, just a lot of random notes. Not criticising those who like it obviously, I guess I must have a kind of blind spot for non-structured jazz.

[mareaumusic]

@thesubtleface - hahahahahahahahaha - yeah they just hangin out there tryin to catch the bus. damn, you should do some research first.

[analogreproduction]

@thesubtleface

In 'Kind of Blue', Miles got away from the song- and harmony-based Jazz. He used scales that differ a lot from our conventional scales, and used lydic, doric etc. scales ("modes") and simply told the others to improvise basing on these. So there's no basic harmonic pattern (like still with 'Autumn Leaves').

At first, I found "Kind of Blue" just strangely fascinating but loved it the more I listened to it.

Give it a chance, too, it's worth it! Best regards.

[Stanman1983]

@analogreproduction

Give Kind of Blue a chance? You gotta be kidding! Pure imagination hard to find on ANY album in any genre, in my opinion

[Slamule]

@thesubtleface You probably find depth in Katy Perry's music & think that Mcdonalds food is good for you!!

[bolder2009]

@thesubtleface I don't mean to sound rude or elitist, but if you can't hear the melody and structure in a song like 'So What' or 'Blue In Green' from 'Kind Of Blue', then the problem is with you not the music.

[ImaniHekima]

Wonderful. This band's music entertains and educates me.

[Matistratocaster]

The last "Avant-Garde" exploration of Miles before his Electric-Psychedelic Band.

Tony Williams only 17 when he started with MD. Of course, HH the consummate genius piano man.

The 1960s were the best decade in Music.

There will never be another with so many greats.

@bhyat1 That's what she said.

[thedobbothy]

@forzamilian189925

You're shit he is one of the best musicians of the world ...

[blueroan4]

@thedobbothy I think he meant that in a good way....

[forzamilan189925]

@thedobbothy I didn't say "Miles, you're shit." Notice that three little word infront of shit. That's a compliment. Miles Davis is my idol. I play trumpet and could only dream to play like him.

[forzamilan189925]

Miles, you're the shit.

[diglew]

@forzamilan189925 haha try to do the same so that you could say somethin like tha ;)

[forzamilan189925]

@diglew You misinterpreted what I said. It was a compliment. Miles is my hero.

clicked Miles Davis - Autumn Leaves... and suddenly... 4 minute ad from Kaizer Chief band... WTF!!!?!??!

[leokasper7107]

christ, ron carter is huge.

[Kedbuka]

Davis is playing lead but I really like Hancock's piano playing.

[mondospectre]

jeez, he's facing the crowd? Like at what point did he start turning around?

[music12videos]

just beautiful...

[Izicanplay]

Oh my GOSH!@!@! 2:30-2:40 is jazz. Did you hear them talk?

[HALOFIRE9000]

@Izicanplay i saw them talk.

[zefonk]

[jicihjohn]

good

[lalocejas83]

yo that sax player is wiggin' out at 7:10 whats up? think he was having some reed issues..

[123must]

Stellar musicians !

A lot of thanks

[G8tr1522]

Has anyone tried to ever play this one in cut time? It sounds much less passionate, but it really seems to improve my dexterity in key changes.

[TiteTrax]

@ hommefriday - Who the fuck cares about what YOU felt about Wayne's role in the Miles Davis Quintet!! Just listen to the music and shut the fuck up!!! Wayne Shorter completely changed the sound of Jazz thru his compositions and his phenomenal playing. There hasn't been ANYONE to contribute to the genre at the level he did, since him!! Cannonball Adderley is a different individual with a different style. Learn to love the unique voices of these geniuses without your vapid opinions.

[Gilnar13]

@TiteTrax

Dude, chill out...



[TiteTrax]

@Gilnar13 - I am chill, dude. Take my advice to heart. People like you sound ignorant to people like me who are actually Jazz musicians and realize that established musicians are NOT to be judged. Only appreciated for their UNIQUENESS!! Get it?

[jimaroo100]

Hey - Miles was a genius..even if I didn't always "get" his music. Hancock made a bad choice... he kind of lost it there but he was24 yrs old and trying to stay with Miles... stuff happens. I saw miles live once where he played a whole set with his back to the audience.

Listen again to the whole number and then give a round of applause to Ron Carter... he stayed with him....what a talent and what great musical communication between him and miles.

[atombomb31458]

that mimmick at the end was really bad i can see why miles was pissed....f'd up a great ending

[mastouras]

we have no other word to decribe how it gets into and connect directly with the soul, providing it with "something", so with the little we have to choose from, we call it cool.....

[BlueinGreen2]

What the hell did Herbie do at the end (13.50) to warrant such abuse from Miles?! He shouts at him then smashes his hands down the piano, making Herbie look about 5 inches tall...

[mercutio3443]

@BlueinGreen2 Looks to me like Herbie was trying to go in to the next tune, which started with the piano softly. Miles, realizing that the crowd was going into an ovation, was either upset because Herbie was lackadaisical starting the next tune (and thus allowing the crowd to swell) or just venting angst that the crowd was interrupting his flow.

[manhidinginabox]

@BlueinGreen2 I'm pretty positive its because miles ends it with that little upward lick and then like 2 seconds later herbie mimics it after the tune is over. Miles was pissed that herbie didn't just let it sit.

[BlueinGreen2]

@manhidinginabox I agree - I think Herbie mimicked that whole-tone pattern that Miles finished off with. But still, why the need to go ape-shit?

Oh wait, it's Miles...

[Hamporkcheese]

straight... OG's 

[klatkadlakitki]

Guy with sunglasses is Ray Charles?

[boynamedphillip]

@klatkadlakitki no, Herbie Hancock



[klatkadlakitki]

@boynamedphillip THX.

@Amamericano That is not a word.

[laserboy18]

@Amamericano Unlike today when people can't spell genius.

[BelcourtChampagne]

Miles would have been a scary boss...damn...

[martin84jazz]

13:50 herbie is punished from Miles... poor him! him to make a big fool in front of the crowd

[MrAntePavelic]

damn, miles...you could have let ron play a bit longer...!

[rippedandfunky]

the best quintect ever

[TheStig678]

@rippedandfunky You've obviously never heard anything Louis Armstrong's Hot Five ever did....

[hommefriday]

@rippedandfunky I prefer the quintet with Canonball Adderly. I never felt that Wayne Shorter was in the Miles sphere

[rippedandfunky]

@hommefriday 2 different eras, sounds, ways of conceiving music and the ensamble; I just love them both,

[metacarpi]

UH!

[barrtok]

cool!



[225gabi]

Great!!!!
