[mcrhythm2]

Yes!

[xatzidakis]

Foley is mysterious!

[npgfunk]

I have this concert on CD in much better audio quality. Classic

[RetroSami]

Chaka And Miles This was a true Dueo !!! I love both of them so Much!

[Sistafiddler]

This just makes my heart sang!

[Streamline09]

Miles loved her, you can see it. He also loved that she knew the song Ella Fitzgerald made famous, and that he often quoted in his version of Human Nature.

[signasmy]

You go Foley

[chakafan2]

She adored Miles. They were the best of friends. Even these many years after his death, when she speaks of him she gets really, really emotional. Miles was great. Chaka is great.

@chakafan2

Amen to this wonderful comment

:-)

[IANXNAILS]

Miles does smile

[PYT4MJ]

Very sweet moment of Miles and Chaka... Love this song Human Nature..

[MarqueeTee]

I'm so happy to see the footage of this. I bought the Davis Montreux box set just for Chaka's 2 mins. It features many other performances of this piece Miles did. Yes Chaka's bit was very rough, impromto I'm sure (is that lyric sheets she had). But this is jazz not pop music and for some one like her to embrace it as she has been doing, WOW, and she handles it. The liner notes Miles wrote about this performance expresses the beauty and vision he saw in CK......

[LulekTheDrummer]

MILES SMILES!!! I see him smile like that first time ! coolness :D

[Adonisd1956]

I love Miles, I like Chaka Kahn, this is really tough!!!!

[Venu337]

Chaka did that. this is MUSIC not all that overrehearser overproduced SHIT nowadays. Love you Chaka. Miles blowing foreveer

[alipalocilesta]

they are gods ...but still they should have rehearsed !!!

[anyplace1]

I love Miles, I love Chaka Khan... but this is terrible. She´s so frantic and out of tune...

[Venu337]

I dare one of the plastic 'divas' of today to attempt this tho. took heart. you have to appreciate true art which isnt always perfect but interperative. this is ART

[MarqueeTee]

@anyplace1 this was impromtu, she WAS very nervous singing for Miles, but did you read his liner notes from the box set...what a compliment. And this is jazz, not pop music

[mantatnam]

@MarqueeTee its definitly not jazz but its good music

[Shaolin325]

This is cool.....

[cmelmoneyman]

Chaka said in an interview that she gets star struck whenever she's on stage with amazing musicians...so as you can see she's frantic as anything

[cmelmoneyman]

she looks so nervous...thts how i would be if i was ever on stage with her

[MarqueeTee]

@cmelmoneyman nervous, yes you would be if invited on stage by your idols-mentors in such a high stage....and as you see she was. This wasn't her show, it was Miles!

[ddenniscoleman3]

Oh Chaka got Miles to crack a smile!

[kaufmann6988]

Great. I was there among the audience myself... good concert !

[evilek]

[pennman82]

[uncledarnell]

Thank you SmartalecFilms I loved this!!!

[maxtheknife]

OMG! This is great! Listening to this song for so many years, I could tell Chaka didn't know the words and she just confirmed it by looking at a lyric sheet when she came out on stage. (LOL!)

[ghostjazz]

wow !!!!! ,thanks for the poste

[BLAQUEMUSCLE]

THANX - i've heard the audio to this, but never seen the VIDEO ! AWESOME !

[FunkYluvsJazZ]

Impromptu & having fun. Luv the part when she was imitating the sax! 10*s =)

[chakasong]

and its cool that even though she had the words on paper, she still let em flow like she'd done the song for years.

[chakasong]

Chaka's gloves KICK ASS!! I'mma have to get a pair! Dead serious!
