Miles at Montreux: Summertime

[SupahflyJazzguy]

Anyone else think that Kenny Garrett sounded like a Soprano on this one? I literally had no clue it was an alto until I saw this video.

[phuckju13]

1st time seing this tune live sounds better because this is a song you an ancore all day

[TheToninhokneto]

Miles, the best.

[TheToninhokneto]

The best

[Praebeo]

Amazing..

[erm1963]

the greatest of all time hands down!!!!!!!!!! often imitated NEVER EVER duplicated...........

[Rubystate]

just awesome!

[ValentinoSoirez]

so good, it gives me chills

[SteffanLlwyd]

Yep. It's the arrangement that makes Summertime sound like mid-Winter! Plus Miles' trumpet sounds like it could cut paper. Is this on any albums?

[ValentinoSoirez]

its on Porgy & Bess. fantastic album!

[harryraffles]

Miles originially ecorded it on Porgy and Bess, but the version above - superior in my opinion - is on the album 'Miles and Quincy Live at Montreux' which is still available.

[beatsbydivine]

One of my inspirations. My favorite track in the world, just more upbeat. Miles is "THE MAN". R.I.P.

[arcachucho]

This is wicked, I love Miles!!!

[kylegeee]

is this in a different key?

[MikeRichmondMusic]

Kenny Garrett-also sax

Grady Tate-drums

Mike Richmond-bass

Gil Goldstein-piano

George Gruntz-piano

[yellowdiva21]

is that kenny garrett on saxophone?

[squidmoosebear]

I think its Marcus Miller.

[yellowdiva21]

No i think marcus miller plays bass

[squidmoosebear]

Well, he plays bass, but also alto, clarinet, bass clarinet, guitar, keyboards, and he can sing. It just doesn't look quite like Garrett, but I could be wrong. Does anybody out there have a definitive answer?

[squidmoosebear]

OK, I checked it out yellowdiva21 and you were right - it is Kenny Garrett. Oh well, on my part.

[Jazzman303]

... This better be a joke... I doubt Marcus Miller could play with a 10th of KG's playing... Speaking of KG... Fuck Kenny G. These gay dude. But not Kenny Garrett

[yellowdiva21]

who the hell put a kenny g video response here? that was stupid!

[YetAnotherWebWarrior]

indeed!

[vrankulj]

Amen.

[SC515]

and again Amen.

[funkyonion59]

the audio is horrible (like most other youtube vids), but this is still AMAZING!!! Miles was one of the best! (i even named my dog after him!)

[roosevltacepluto]

What kind of Mute is he useing?

[WartsHogNYC]

Harmon, No Stem

[JMan8526]

Shaken, not stirred.

[esharpcool]

That was outrageous Miles Davis at His finest;if only He would have done the jam SO WHAT,with Gil Evans.

[javierbbjazz]

This is a moment when i like to be a man

[arribamorochaa]

when i`m listen this music

.

ooo ...

soo goodd (L)

[virafsurty]

wild jazz

[lebelge2006]

génial

[MaximillianWilliam]

mestro!!essa musica é linda!

[migmarfin]

I wonder why Quincy chose such a quick tempo for this, makes me feel a bit uneasy. I guess it was a very very busy summer...

[aShot74]

That's the way Gil Evans did it with Miles.

[Skygerobrian]

I thought the tempo gave it a greater amount of dynamics. This whole show was awsome absolutely love Miles Davis and Quincy Jones.

[BENJ1969]

Good point. The original rendition exemplified the title, "Summertime," and its slower paced, laid back feel. The song is basically the same. But the interpretation of a song with this title should be true to the feel it provokes.
