@thekidoftheyear Frank P. Zappa was a cameraman... 'the' Frank Zappa's middle name was Vincent, so I would imagine this cameraman had to go ahead and throw in the middle initial to avoid confusion
There is def acid involved in this performance...1:26 there is something going on...Like he is taking something... Scofield is just waiting his time for the groove to develop... So is Miles, he knows its questionable at first but make the audience trust that it will bloom into something sick which it does... Sick pocket drumming and bass...
This is what happens when you stick 4 musical geniuses on stage after administering 10 hits of acid to each of them, lol, I am a huge jazz fusion fan, but watching this makes me wonder what the hell miles davis was on while this was being taped.
I love how he kept going to the front of the stage and, as soon as he started playing, he would gravitate right beside Scolfield again. Thar shit was funny.
@Naamanda76 (2/2) Look at it as a dual edged sword. In the argument made ‘he was beating his wives’ the artists success would be enabling the artists victims to seek recourse from the pot of success they had acquired, that we as a non judgemental society had contributed towards, by appreciating their ‘work’ and not getting involved with their personal lives. Or where does one draw a line of judgement? Look at the world we live in at the today; do we not have enough of this already?
@Naamanda76 (1/2) The danger here is that your soap box might collapse. From the Court scene from Midnight Express.. What is a crime? What is punishment? It seems to vary from time to time and place to place. What’s legal today is suddenly illegal tomorrow because society says it’s so, and what’s illegal yesterday is suddenly legal because everybody’s doin’ it, and you can’t put everybody in jail. Wearing robes of judgement to determine whether or not you like ‘art’ is illogical.
@TheRepented and SupernalOne:) 1/2 Of course that Hitler made a much larger scale crimes, but it realy doesn't matter. A moral society should have some basic, obvious rules or codes of behavior which shouldn't be broken (such as don't murder, beat, steal etc.) otherwise there will be a caos here. This rules musn't be changed tomorrow or vary from time to time. Do you realy think that if tomorrow more people will beat their wives than it will become legitimate? I don't think so.
@TheRepented 2/3 I'm sorry but I can't enjoy art when I know that the artist has made such a crime. This isn't about judging his personality and deciding if i like the music or not. For instance, if I know that the artist in question is a rude person who has no respect for others I will still be able to enjoy his/her music, because it has got nothing to do to with my life and its the only the problem of the people who are personally close to the artist.
@TheRepented 3/3 it's not that respect, empathy, compession etc. can't make a better moral society - of course they will, but we are still very far from taking them as basic codes of morality. If we don't open our eyes to see where the BASIC codes are been broken than we will be in danger. We can't afford to look a side when knowing that someone doing this, just because he makes a great art.
@TheRepented The easiest and most comfortable thing to do is to close our eyes and ignore the reality, isn't it? and how can you compare beating women to wearing mums panties - the second isn't a crime and the first one is, pls. don't confuse "hobbies" with crimes.
@ Naamanda76 Wagner was Hitlers greatest composer with shared ideals, this did not stop Wagner being a great composer, just someone you probably did not want to have a beer with. I could not care less if at home he wore his mums panties, was a recluse or got off on videos of Yoda doing backflips. History is scattered with stories of some genius having flaws. Don’t hero worship, focus on what makes them great. If you want package deals I think they do these at McDonalds or travel agents.
I like Wagner less for knowing he was a proto-Nazi - and I liked Michael Jackson less for knowing he filled his bed with little boys and fiddled about with them, in whatever way - being a genius doesn't excuse someone for being a shit, it just makes it necessary for others to swallow their distaste & deal with the person - but in the arts, it's all about preference - an artist is often hard to separate from his or her work - so maybe we shouldn't ask, just enjoy their work - ?
@SupernalOne So let's say that Hitler was a great composer. Would you buy his music and enjoy it? I agree that there is a problem in reffering the art to the person who makes it, but sorry guys, criminals should sit in prison and not playing to other people. What kind of a moral society are we establishing if we let people who make such crimes (don't know about Jackson BTW - he has never been convicted) to be free and glorify them?
Using Hitler as an example for any bad action is kinda exaggerating to make a point, but as a rule I do agree that artists who do bad things are deserving of censure- making art doesn't excuse doing harm. What one gets instead is controversial art, that is more a Rorschach test of the values of the audience. And there's the quality of the art to consider - "If good art can elevate, then bad art can degrade" - decadence, for example, isn't good for society. so: it all depends -
So yes, he could be very sensitive in his playing and with it had no sensitivity towards other pepole. In practice he was a shit.
I took the poster of the wall, tore it to small pieces and threw it to the garbage.
There will be no beating man in my room!!! This guy should have been locked in prison, not making such a career! it is unbelievable how our soceity is forgiving, loving and can forget all its basic principles of respect to others if someone has got an outstanding talent.
In my early 20's I had a poster of Miles in my room. I started to study Jazz and then discovered that he was beating his wives (and he had a few of them...unbelivable). I got back to my room and looked at the picture, thinking, how is it possible? I hadn't heard yet about the Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, so I couldn't get it. Today I know that pepole can have the highest musical intelligence but no (or a very undevelopled...) Interpersonal intelligence.
Oh man ...... may be one of ...shit .. the best guitar solo ever played .. Sco is so brilliant, playing with heart and brain, sometimes simple, sometimes komplex, but every note with the deepest touch of soul, that i'm groovin, crying and rockin at the same time. And Daryl puttin it all together with his incredible groove and the Human-nature-Bass-Line beginning at 6:01. This solo ist the essence. A true Master. - Damn, they were so fuckin good, its hard to believe.
At 3.06 Miles comes up with something beautiful and spontaneous ... where they were taking this was not any straight ahead sound ... and the way they build on the lines and keep it hanging!
i am into all kinds of free improvisation and modern music but these guys sound like theyre just meandering around. This is so boring, plus that keyboard tone is lame as hell.
is it just me, or is Miles waiting to hear something from Scofield at least the first three minutes, this is just an "a minor funk" where's Scofield? His solo has lots of notes, just not much soul though, although I admit there were some moments, he took it to a 8O's hair metal jam... which was kind of cheesyyy by the way...
can someone please tell me what sco does from 6:52 to 6:58 to make miles nod in appreciation? does he use a special scale sequence? It sounds pretty good whatever it is.
For me, one of Schofields best solos...changes in pitch and key add to the anticipation...sends shivers down my spine everytime I hear this...love it!
@Syllerud personally i find this performance... CRAP. It's not a single emotion in this rather than a fight of egos in brainless drug adicts. (I love many of Miles and John doings, i'm talking about THIS)
@AnonymousWhitePerson@AnonymousWhitePers I can see why you say that but (f.w.i.w). I took it quite differently. What I think is that at 5:37 he is encouraging the drummer to play a "pushing it forward" type of fill - which the drummer does..more or less in unison with miles' arms. I didn't take it as any sort of comment to scofield.Also after the end of the previous track,when davis has the band members come up front to take a bow he seems pretty happy with scofield then...and vice-versa
too much magic to enjoy for $8.00usd (bought it at one of those big department stores in mexico, so surely available anywhere else, it's worth it....)
@ThisIDig EXACTLY !! It IS a conversation between the 2 of them of course, but an eerie , whispered one.And to think there are comments about this version here suggesting it contains no emotions or that it is worthless ?? (people may not LIKE the emotions here, but THEY are absolutely there). it is such a different take on it from the "we want miles " version, ,which I think is stunning, but I also like this version more and more now.
I have this dvd, and I've watched this part over, and over, and over . . . Sco, here, pretty much burns up everything else I've ever heard done on guitar, by anybody.
I like this stuff, but that doesnt mean I dont feel sorry that it ended this way.
He was just some crazy arrogant fucker like myself, but even I could not act like such an asshole onstage.
Miles talked out of his ass alot. Not only on his trumpets. He was a cocksmoke, and he even made fun of sco for being a white jazz musician in detail....lol
People like miles davis annoy the shit out of me but that doesnt mean he has not made some of the best music I have ever heard.
he is a jazz master... like yoda at the nirvana :) he just take it easy, by giving only the key notes (less nots) -very slowly- thats real hard. You know what I mean?
Why don't we get jazz programmes like this in the UK. The French are so civilised! Amazing stuff from an amazing line-up. The Stones must be boring as hell for the 'Munch'!
This made me cry. There is so much in the lines played if you just listen with your heart AND your head. The line beginning and 5:49 has such a beautiful melody.
I love the Miles Davis cds I have, with Flamenco sketches being one of my favorite songs. But I don't get this at all. I never thought I'd say this, but to me, this just sounds like noise half of the time.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Santana said that the most beautiful music is "perfect perfection", when all is one & one is all. Miles lost his heart in music when his veins were filled with heroin, like this demonstration of icy, intellectualised music: thee is no heart to it. I would say that the true reflection of humanity is perfect imperfection, man is too lazy to get it right & in too much of a hurry to care.
"... enthusiasts of tied up women start preaching moral principle."
Ad hominem abusive. Sexual preferences do not necessarily affect good judgment.
"I think I speak for the healthy majority of us."
Actually, you don't speak for anyone. This 'healthy majority' you refer to does not exist--most people are sexual deviants in some way, and 'normality,' when it comes to sex as with many other things, does not really exist. Kinsey report plz.
sorry, but the sco solo is ugly as hell. it doesnt fit in the music. miles is awesome and sco is great.. but not in that context. he needs a solid funk/rock backing to solo over
man, settle down...:) It depends on what you would want to achieve out of that...just putting an all-star band together doesn't mean that it's going to be a smash...
I'm not sure, guys like parker and trane would be totally hip with fusion. Doesn't mean that if they lived longer that they wouldn't have extended jazz realms even more. But I just not sure they would go for it. Most Bebop kats didn't. Look at Sonny Stitt, Phil Woods, Jackie Mclean, .. just a observation.
Miles and Scofield weren't about playing as many notes as humanly possible in a single second. They were more concerned with making beautiful melodies.
Thats right man!!! And there`s no other guitar player in the whole world who has such a unique and fantastic phrasing like Sco--evry note he`s playing is full with soul,groove and whatever...
This is extremley good! 5:05 is where it really kicks in, tasty playing on all instuments. I love the sound Scofield get's in this period, similar to his stuff with jacko! He uses the superlocrian scale near the end, he is playing 'outside'
A great moment in jazz history as Sco still works to find his sound and his way between rock and jazz...in the very crucible of modern jazz as the Master watches and listens. We could not be there but we saw it with our own eyes...and listen to Sco now...the very Miles Davis of the contemporary jazz guitar and I'm still alive to buy a ticket and go see him any time I want. If there is a God...for sure he's a jazz fan!
love all the background keyboard work, the atmospheric feel, the way it picks up at 5:00 or so... very nice

Damn! The Bass Player creates the fattest hook at 6:00.
Does anyone know what the name of this song is?
62Miles 3 years ago 2
Name of the tune is Jean Pierre. It's normally played faster and more uplifting. Marcus Miller covers it on his album Free.

This made me cry. There is so much in the lines played if you just listen with your heart AND your head. The line beginning and 5:49 has such a beautiful melody.

I love the Miles Davis cds I have, with Flamenco sketches being one of my favorite songs. But I don't get this at all. I never thought I'd say this, but to me, this just sounds like noise half of the time.

Santana said that the most beautiful music is "perfect perfection", when all is one & one is all. Miles lost his heart in music when his veins were filled with heroin, like this demonstration of icy, intellectualised music: thee is no heart to it. I would say that the true reflection of humanity is perfect imperfection, man is too lazy to get it right & in too much of a hurry to care.

Hey, asshole.
"... enthusiasts of tied up women start preaching moral principle."
Ad hominem abusive. Sexual preferences do not necessarily affect good judgment.
"I think I speak for the healthy majority of us."
Actually, you don't speak for anyone. This 'healthy majority' you refer to does not exist--most people are sexual deviants in some way, and 'normality,' when it comes to sex as with many other things, does not really exist. Kinsey report plz.

sorry, but the sco solo is ugly as hell. it doesnt fit in the music. miles is awesome and sco is great.. but not in that context. he needs a solid funk/rock backing to solo over
premofan 3 years ago
I'm sorry, but I disagree -- that solo was sick and fit perfectly. As a matter of fact, it's very clear the rest of the music went his way.

I'm not sure, guys like parker and trane would be totally hip with fusion. Doesn't mean that if they lived longer that they wouldn't have extended jazz realms even more. But I just not sure they would go for it. Most Bebop kats didn't. Look at Sonny Stitt, Phil Woods, Jackie Mclean, .. just a observation.

Miles Davis, John Scofield, Robert Berg, Robert Irving, Daryl Jones, Steve Thorton and Vince Wilburn?
That is good for a fact, that can't be bad... ;)

I think, Miles used too much drugs... For my ears, Miles playing many wrong notes, when he starts play at the begining. Anyway, great show.

Miles and Scofield weren't about playing as many notes as humanly possible in a single second. They were more concerned with making beautiful melodies.
iRockallnite4326 3 years ago 2
Thats right man!!! And there`s no other guitar player in the whole world who has such a unique and fantastic phrasing like Sco--evry note he`s playing is full with soul,groove and whatever...
Blackes57 3 years ago 4
This is extremley good! 5:05 is where it really kicks in, tasty playing on all instuments. I love the sound Scofield get's in this period, similar to his stuff with jacko! He uses the superlocrian scale near the end, he is playing 'outside'

A great moment in jazz history as Sco still works to find his sound and his way between rock and jazz...in the very crucible of modern jazz as the Master watches and listens. We could not be there but we saw it with our own eyes...and listen to Sco now...the very Miles Davis of the contemporary jazz guitar and I'm still alive to buy a ticket and go see him any time I want. If there is a God...for sure he's a jazz fan!
