Miles Davis Marcus Miller Fun Talk+Playing Live 'Mr.Pastorius'

[musicmanson]

I think that Miles was just saying that he got the same feeling that Marcus got but dealt with it in a different way.

[thatblokefella]

...erm....no he's definately a prick....even if he can blow thru a pipe particularly well. You can tell from old clips that he (and Dylan) is (are) definately very rude, very early in their career. It's not just because he's been around a while. It's ok folks...you ARE allowed to not be mesmerised by musicians when they aren't performing. They have a hole in their arse too

[SuperSukme]

I think at a certain point in your career you deserve to be a little arrogant. He had had the skills to back it up.

[thatblokefella]

I'll agree with all of you that Miles is an amazing musician BUT I don't mind sticking my neck out and asking if anyone else thinks that he comes across like an arrogent pr*ck?

Bob Dylan does too.

[thatblokefella]

@thatblokefella sorry, that should read: arrogant pr*ck

[Soulfide]

@thatblokefella I dont' think he comes across arrogant.. . he is just an old jazz man... who know everything LOL.. he is just playing it cool...

[Gonzales19590202]

なんというセンスなんだろう！

魂を揺さぶられる究極の”美”を感じました！

Ｖｅｒｙ　Ｖｅｒｙ　Ｔｈａｎｋｓ　Ｈｅｅｎｅｚ　！

[ManelRuivo]

Happy Birthday Miles.

[123must]

Among the best!

A lot of thanks

[jazzuffe]

The most terrifying man ever, and greatest! Miles Davis. The clothes is the funniest.

[diogoca]

Sensacional!

[mzcchess]

There is so much depth to this song. It reflects the height of Miles' artistic maturity...

[TlingitTV]

Wow oh WOW that bass sounds great! Marcus should play that old Fodera more often.

[SophyaAgain]

Liove it !!

[MrDiscordinated]

It;s that old DEVIL called MILES. R .I .P give's me the chills /so cool

[MrDiscordinated]

It;s that old DEVIL called MILES. R .I .P

[Jwarrior53]

I didn't realize Deeray Davis played bass for Miles Davis back in the day lol! Check out 1:37.

[littlebones18]

Yeeaaaahhh Kenny Garret

[mr01FABIO]

MILES THE MAN, A GREAT TRIBUTE TO MR. JACO PASTORIUS.

THIS IS STATE OF TEH ART.

[MrChewychewychewy]

[TheStan24]

[adurgaram]

[luverlything]

When Miles starts playing the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!! Truly sublime

[andrecp]

whats the music in the video at 1:31 i cant remenber!!

[heenez]

@andrecp its one of miles davis' best known jazz standards, its called "so what".

[andrecp]

@heenez thanks!!! i couldn't remember it!

[sdy7600]

@andrecp its called "kind of blue"

[JhonSabroson]

is "So What".

[Streamline09]

@andrecp "So What," recorded live on TV in 1959. Check for it on "Miles Davis: The Cool Jazz Sound" on EFOR Films.

[gryllogo]

@andrecp

"So What" disc Kind of Blue

[zupek89]

Can anyone write what miles speaks?

I really can't understand it, no matter how hard I try...

[CptChaos88]

@zupek89

at least we can understand his second language, eventhough we can't put it into words either...

[jakjonsun]

John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Jack Dejonette, John mclaughlin, Marcus Miller, Mike Stern, John Scofield, Kenny Garrett -- so many have made their name, devoloped their style under the tutelage of the king, the legend, the angelic voice -- Miles Dewey Davis III

[jude4312]

it's so sad that there's only one bassist on your list who is even considered more of a producer than bass player (although he's good).. no one cares about bass players T__T

[b0x1nG]

Listen tot the Album - Marcus Miller - M2 :) Its great!

[Chambrette]

@jakjonsun Yeah, he was a teacher too :)

[mrbobsco]

that marcus miller is a far cry from the one of today... in sound and looks!

[MyAshraff]

pure genius

[MrArrpee]

HAve Miles Davis and JAco PAstorius ever played togheter?

[MLWBX]

No never played together !

[rmetoyer]

Miles didn't lose his voice because of drugs. It's in his book-- he had a problem with his vocal chords and the doctor told he to rest them for a couple of weeks. But later that day, he got in an argument with a manager or someone and he yelled at them.

That yelling ruined his vocal chords forever.

Yes he used drugs, but that's not why his voice was reduced to a whisper. And as you can hear, there was nothing wrong with his lungs.

[Riighhe]

whats the mathers whit his voice?

[Recanon]

He used drugs so much it fucked up his voice. You would expect that someone with such a voice his lungs are completely fucked up, but then you hear him play...

[JazzmanJibilla]

Miles had so many great bass players over the years but for sheer connectivity I gotta go with Mr. Miller.

[N0L4ND]

any one know what kind of sax that dude's playing??

[nealien]

That dude is Kenny Garrett, he's playing a straight alto. I'm not sure of the brand.

He usually played alto, but that one looks funny because it's 'straight' kind of like a soprano

[cali22boi]

saxello (straight alto)

[happyslappysoong]

What bass is marcus holding?

[vot01]

A fodera one. Maybe a monarch model but i'm not sure.

[Derfunkmeister]

Nice this bit and I have to say that the Miles joke about his clothes, HEY!! The cat was super slick.

[elBassmanU]

nice, nice, nice...

[elBassmanU]

nice, nice , nice...

[hunkafunk1]

This song brings a tear to my eyes, everytime I hear it. Anyone who thinks that Mr. Miller is a Jaco clone is an ignoramus. He was influenced by Jaco, as was every serious bass player...including myself!. Marcus Miller is the modern day Jaco...in my opinion, and I think the jazz charts speak for themselves.

[omko73]

I like the way Miles greets his musicians after the performance..

[snerddarplol]

Don't scald me for this, but is this song in anyway related to Jaco Pastorius?

[jude4312]

yea marcus wrote it cos as a tribute. it's in album amandla

[29Bosch]

Yes. A M. Miller tribute to him.

[telsu]

it's a tribute

[dekarthegreat]

Marcus Miller wrote it as a tribute to Jaco, who died in 1987. Jaco was a huge influence on Miller, to the point where in his VERY early career (late '70s) he was dismissed as another Jaco clone) But fortunately, he found his own voice and has quite possibly the most recognizable bass sound of all time

[Flemmingdoerken]

Really.. Marcus Miller a Jaco clone? Wow, I would never have guessed. He seems to have come so far from that now.

Interesting new knowledge.

[radio213]

agreed, if he plays two notes you know its him. i dont know why someone thumbs downed your comment lol, ill compensate for their stupidity.

[x3calla]

what kind of sax is that?

[29Bosch]

A straight alto. Not a common instrument.

[Streamline09]

I love the exchange and the tune. Thanks for the post.

[mattxx16]

Is Marcus playing A Fodera?

[manueltsy]

Yes, he is

[jibcraip]

A Fretless Fodera ^^

[coolfungus]

First CD I ever bought , before that everything I owned was on vinyl . We didn't own a CD player until that point......... man, these kids today are so spoiled with all that technology lol

[canvoodoo]

He would be proud of what Marcus has become

[Fjord76]

I remind me of "The King is gone " from The sun don't lie ( same kind of vibe on the intro) I had never noticed before.

Thanks for posting this,I knew this tune from Amandla but I'd never heard it live :)

[ivandruping]

miller with a fodera? Nice...

[duhranwilson]

Great post.

[SirPsychoFlea]

with a voice like that you would expect his throat to be completely fucked up, makin it hard to even breathe but than he starts to play...

[ddball1]

Miles, a magnificent singer, judging by those notes .. ;)

[slapit5]

4:42 marcus is like a child smiling to miles. miles doesn´t even make a gesture haha.

[uniquess]

Is that an Alto Sax? it sound like one. I loved this show it needs to come back.

[henry14000]

what was wrong with his voice?

[Matthias22223]

I didn't know that Marcus is such a good showman as far as "controlled interviewing" is concerned! :D Very, very cool stuff. Thank you for uploading.

[scat4u]

yeah i was suprised too.

[drummer78]

Miles said in his book that Marcus was one of the funniest guys to be around. Miles loved him.

[SlikkTim]

That was straight coolness !!
