  • R.I.P Jaco.

  • why is this called Mr Pastorius ?

  • beautiful beautiful beautiful!!!

  • nah no signal....miles just reflexed those notes back........I HEAR YA he said

  • Don't get no better than that.

  • Love to both Marcus Miller and Jaco Pastorius <3

  • This is an ode to the great Jaco Pastorius. A great improvisational bass guitarist. If you don't know him, copy and paste his name and you will see. Now, as you know, Mr. Davis rarely gives credit to a player. But in austere sound he gives credit to this underdog jazz great.

  • Miles.

  • For Jaco :' )

  • I simply loved it, and BTW, where´s Mr. Miller`s hat ?

  • R.I.P JACO 

  • Woah, two monsters honoring a third monster! Call the Justice League!

    BTW, listing the five wrong things about Marcus Miller in this video:

    - playing a Fodera bass, instead of a JB;

    - long hair;

    - no hat;

    - long sleeves;

    - no slapping.

    Who the hell is that guy and what did he do to Marcus Miller?

    Just kidding, he's amazing!

    Cheers, folks!

  • @maferreira1984 Marcus has almost always used a Fodera as his fretless. I don't think he has a fretless jazz.

  • WOOOWWWW!!! Marcus MIller Without hat!!! Awesome!!

  • @Chimo0102 Yeah, AND without the jazzbass! :O

  • Diante de um ser pleno não há o que dizer. A beleza diz tudo.

  • Tellement beau

  • This is music !

  • lol this is first time i see marcus miller without hat..

  • muitooooooooooo foooda!

  • love it ♫♪

  • -magnificent...

  • 2:22 : You don't smile to Miles Davis, bro.

  • @Informatisse i shit my pants when i went back and watched that.

  • @ThyrsusDionysus xD hahaha

  • No words to describe this masterpiece ! :)

  • gorgeous!!!!!

  • kenny on straight alto, hell yeah! he'd sound good no matter what the horn was though.

    

  • JAZZ IS NEVER GONNA DIE IT LIVES ON IN ITS FANS AND MUSICIANS THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • puta merda!

  • I'm assuming that this is Kenny Garrett on the straight alto?

  • @TannerOlivas yes Kenny Garret on straight alto - and ( oh God forgive me) Davis at his nadir... I dislike this music now as I disliked it when he was alive. I can appreciate it in an abstract way ( it's valid and interesting under a lot of point of view), but listening to it's a pain for me.

  • @yourockets3 lol what kind of jazz do you listen to? this is one of the most moving pieces on youtube

  • @BodhiSvaha oh god :) from King Oliver up to Anthony Braxton :) ...

  • @yourockets3 do you not like this era miles, or not like the other players? you could say kenny's solo might have been a little more daring in certain areas, (where there seem to be those standard descending fills of hesitation), if he was in the zone, but overall it is a very refined sound, and he is probably the greatest sax player in the modern era, along with branford marsalis. for me, the greatest players of all time are miles, trane, herbie...

  • @BodhiSvaha I don't like the "style", the sound of this group. i hate those keyboards, and dislike both harmony and melody and feel far from this idea of "refined" sound - Kenny Garrett is a fine musician a bit too conventional to my taste and all of them are as good as him - it's good music far from my taste. I prefer Miles' work from 1963 up to Bitches Brew and Liveevil. but I'm an Ornette addicted and this is my point of view :)

  • @yourockets3 lol ;). what about eric? who would you say are the absolute greatest free jazzers, say the top 10, any instruments included? i love braxton and dolphy, and have only heard very little of coleman, but what i have heard i like. extremely advanced.

    i think for this group, it is more about mood than any other aspect. that is why i think miles is the greatest musician of all time, by far. he evokes more feeling out of this trumpet than anyone else (aside from singers).

  • @yourockets3 i feel that wayne shorter is the greatest living saxophonist, because he seems to sense about perfectly when to pause, especially so, how to shape the mood effortlessly, unwind the infinite in the most natural way possible.

    i think porgy and bess, quiet nights, and of course kind of blue are among his best works. i love in a silent way, bitches brew, and the 70s albums. decoy, star people, aura, you're under arrest, tutu, siesta, and amandla are all great. some incredible songs.

  • @yourockets3 also, for a song like this one in particular, it's not about playing as fast or as complicated as you can. it's almost as lazily as you can, like it melts away into the melody. the whole feeling of it is impossible without the keyboards. that sets the mood entirely. i think this is modern jazz the way it was meant to be. it captivates you, outside all knowledge or expectation of jazz...it is like looking at a breathtaking panorama in front of you. awe inspiring.

  • thumbs up for 8 people that like justin bieber

  • button

    

  • if u dislike this ? all i have to say is , "what the fuck do u know???" save ya dislike buton for politics chumps!

  • Damn, this is a worthy note from MD to honor Basstorius!

  • Does Mr. Pastorius refer to Alfonso of Weather Report fame?

  • 3:46 ups :)

  • look at the way Miles and Marcus look at each other when it breaks into swing at 2:23

  • I love!!

    puros Master!!

  • !!!!! Good..........

  • WOW

  • Anyone else notice that Garrett gives Miles a signal at 1:27, and a few seconds later Miles plays two notes in the middle of Garrett's solo? The notes sound as if they were coming from Garrett's horn. I'm just amazed that they would work out something so easily passed by beforehand! Also the squeal at 4:08 is worked out as well...crazy.

  • @keepjammin36 Now I've noticed and it's really amazing!

  • @keepjammin36 .... man, you have entirely too much time on your hands... lol! That is a great catch .. thanks for pointing it out. These men are Superior professionals so ya kinda expect that and more...thanks again!

  • @keepjammin36 He's just readjusting his strap between phrases. Anything else is just intuitive, aside from the ending

  • I love this, thanks for posting this classic gem....

  • MERAVIGLIOSO OMAGGIO AL GRANDE JACO !

  • Just wow!

    

  • M² 's feeling on his fretless is so beautiful, so jazzy. I love Pastorius, I love Miller, I love this song.

  • Hogyan nyomhat a "nem tettszik" gombra bárki, aki akármilyen úton módon ide keveredik?

    Nem értem!

  • @SophisticatedSound

    That is a straight alto.

  • @epsps  C-Melody sax

  • @matteopinix it's not a stritch?

  • It's so beautiful...

  • A curved neck Soprano?

  • @SophisticatedSound No, a straight alto saxophone.

  • @SophisticatedSound C-Melody sax

  • Everyone's got something that floats their boat......

    And the cool thing is it doesn't have to be the same thing as you!

  • The 3 "M"'s of music are ....Mozart, Muddy Waters, and Miles Davis.

  • @ganjisgood the 3 Ds of music are Debussy, Duke and Davis

  • @ganjisgood Guess you forgot Marcus Miller... :b

  • First time Ive seen a straight alto actually being played and not sitting in a shop window. Now I really want one.

  • Ahhhhhh....This is it right here!

  • @toommk the drummers name is ricky wellman

  • increible!!!!!!!

  • i went to marcus miller for Tutu revisited at the London Barbican! Truly Miles should have been a Jamaican.......he never overplays a note & he pulls us up short. if the US does not want him...... we'll take him in the Jamaican national heroes park where he can be venerated by peoples of african origin who love him alongside the honourable Robert Nesta Marley.......this is awe inspiring music

  • Who is playing on drums?

  • Fu#*~n killer!

  • Oh, man the swing pocket was so sad. I feel sorry for Kenny having to blow over that.

  • Wow. Amazing. Miles was playin so good, he was nailin it. And that straight Alto, never seen one of those. Marcus playing nice too

  • Thumbs up if you forget about the dislike button until someone mentions it

  • @spadgeful  yeah... someone like you.

  • Comment removed

  • Bravissimoo!!!!!! What a bassline by Mr. Marcus Miller and what a solo by Mr. Kenny Garret and what a genius by Mr. Miles Davis!! This is a true masterpeace!!!

  • what year was this?

  • nice kenny garret on straight alto

  • That's Adam Holzman on Keys

  • how old is miles here?

  • @JensKolonD About 63.

  • Marcus using a Fodera?? Never seen that before

  • old and young monsters of music

  • I didn't know they did straight alto's, I'm not sure if I'm just excited as it's the first time i have seen one or if it really does produce a different sound. I love it all the same.

  • marcus is n love with Miles.... XD

    but`still comprensive....

  • ma c'è anche garrett ? o no ?

  • @danillys Beh sì, è quello al sax...

  • Wonderful! Miles smiles and plays his heart out. The group knows they are playing with jazz hierarchy and history and meet the challenge. Was that Chick on keyboards? Oh, look, 4 people accidentally hilt the 'thumbs down' key by mistake.

  • awesome !!!

  • I love this piece...very soothing and romantic.

  • those 80's clothes!

  • I wish mtv still played stuff like this.

  • @gripmaster345 i wish mtv played stuff

  • @gripmaster345 I think the same

  • i always wanted to see jazz, not only hear it

    this is what i imagined jazz would look like

  • how could you forget kenny garrett

  • Forgot to mention Kenny Garrett!!!

  • this composition, whit "three Three Views of a Secret", symbolize jaco's character...his personality....fantastic!

  • wow. Mark you do your thing man!  cousin ramon

  • it'so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what kind of sax is that? and is miles davis playing a b flat trumpet?

  • @Soulfide That instrument is also known as a stritch.

  • @Soulfide This is a bariton sax

  • @DaTechnicalOne It's a straight alto!

  • @Soulfide No I'm sorry Slivovitz is right it's a kind of saxello

  • this is just alto sax ... is in Eflat i don't know if have a kind of naem!!

  • Miles...Long live The King

  • once i saw a concert of him in The Netherlands, Miles Davis was great!!!!

  • who is at the sax? what kind of sax play?

  • @fricogna Kenny Garrett playing a straight b flat tenor

    one of the all time greatest tunes in history

  • @BodhiSvaha : I think It's a straight Eb alto...also called Saxello. Look at the neck. and the embouchoure too.

    :)

  • Comment removed

  • @SlivovitzMusic yeah you're right. it doesn't go that low either. would be cool to get one of each ;)

  • @fricogna No idea the kind of sax, might be super custom Alto. But his name is Kenny Garret

  • @Aztec1011 Its a straight alto they project more I resist saying better. If you compare his sound to a soprano and say David Sanborn you might get a feel for how it changes the sound... hes a great player but I like the curved bell... It my be worth noticing Kenny Garrett plays a curves sax more then not

  • I just love this king of Jazz.

  • this is simply perfect!! very smooth

  • what style is this. i looked in some cool jazz artists stuff like chet baker and dave brubeck, but couldn't find anything like it. i know theres a style that encompasses this exact sound.

  • The majority of Brubeck and Baker's output was long before this, this is probably late 80's. Many jazz musicians started utilizing electric instruments such as the electric bass and synthesizers such as in this video. So if you like this just look for jazz from the late 70's through the 80's

  • im talking about the sort of open, echoey rythm section sound with a slower beat and brushes on the drums. i just odnt know the word for it.

  • Miles Davis' sound is something misterous, it can't be categorized i think. Each his tune is so misterous

  • A tremendous tribute for Jaco, thanks marcus for writing this, and to miles for putting it on his album.

  • Night music was my favourite program!

  • I didn't know that Kenny Garrett used to play on a straight alto back when he was with MIles. Interesting....

  • what is the name of the instrument miller is playing?

  • @abender06 It is Fodera Bass with the butterfly sign on the head, victor wooten is playing with fodera

  • thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • I thinks its one of Fodera bases

  • Fodera Fretless Bass...

  • RIP Mr. Davis, thanx a lot for sharing this

  • I saw Tutu Revised yesterday in Oosterpoort, Groningen. Really fantastic, loved the young very talented musicians that were playing with Miller.

  • What year was this concert ?

  • Saw Tutu Revisited in Luxembourg last night! Amazing....really was. Did the late, great Miles Davis proud!

  • hey what mouth piece does kenny garret use??

  • Straight alto black... at least in this video

  • Absolutely the best version of mr Pastorius. Nothing to take out, nothing to add.

  • Marcus´ solo is brilliant. He does the perfectly fitting notes to his bass sound.

  • i'm going to a Marcus Miller live, for Tutu Revisited @ European Jazz Expò, in Cagliari, Sardinia.

    I'm reborning.

    Miles I love you!!!

  • c'ero anch'io, magnifico concerto!

  • @dithn perchè cavolo non mi hai avvisato??????????????

  • una sola palabra

    elsexo

    dos palabras

    sexo

  • holy shit!!!!! that's a fodera bass look at the head of the bass at 2:43

  • and my marriage, after 5 weeks, was consummated; he was playing Mr. P in the last set which we heard outside; when we arrived...by the time we dared to enter, the place was empty. Little did I know I had a black eye and my nose was broken when he said, 'Hey, HAIG AND HAIG!

    Thank you Contrabeth.

  • There are moments tucked deep in the pockets of places long forgotten, hidden in the wonder of what was once a place called "heaven" and then they evaporated and disappeared into the rare toxic ether of a glass of milk gone sour, yet, here I am 50 years, actually 49, thinking of that sweet black man, Miles Davis, who gave US the key to his room at The Black Hawk Hotel ...

  • can someone what kind of mouthpiece is using kenny plus reed and kind of the reed

  • selmer E long shank

  • Pas terrible le passage rapide...

  • Why doesn't Marcus play fretless more? Fantastic tone.

  • Because he doesn't want to stay a " Small-Pastorius "...

  • Bellissimo brano composto da Marcus Miller, linea armonica unica.

  • マーカスのバッキングめちゃうま

  • haha what's the point of a straight alto? seems like it would just be inconvenient

  • RIP jaco

  • GREAT

  • To all the uneducated haters of Marcus Miller, here is one of many instances where Marcus shows his amazing guitar skills. This is an amazing track, respect due to all musicians!

  • Who could possibly hate Marcus Miller?

  • I agree ?

  • @jkb317 racists :P lol fuck them, these guys are damn good!!!!!

  • @jkb317: Someone who is extremely envious of his talent.

  • @jkb317, Helen Keller

  • @jkb317 An ex girlfriend maybe? :-)
