One reason that Miles had his back to the audience was because he wanted to them to focus on the other players when they took a solo.Jay needed to say something more positive.
kinda funny that TW is playing a newer K and not the better originals he played back in the day, I understand endorsement reasoning, but still those Turkish K's had had kicked ass on any newer USA made K's...
Bunch of Yahoo's focusing on Leno, instead of enjoying the music. Listen to MD original music and then how Tony Williams dominates the tribute. Then again TW dominates most music he played. Best pure jazz drummer I've ever heard, although I dig Billy Cobham as well.
@mrprogjazzgto: Those who worked with Miles will tell you that he was actually a kind and generous man to them, but he didn't suffer fools lightly and he wasn't about to tap dance for anyone. He remained true to himself.
Wow, I'm so embarrased for Leno, freaking clueless moron, lol! Thanks so much for posting this amazing video, beautiful playing out of everyone on here.
Jay Leno is just a huge anthropomorphised dick.

I agree, this great performance has nothing related to Jay Leno's show. It was like throwing pearls before swines.

It isn't that Miles "didn't like white people", Jay, it is that he didn't like fake ass people LIKE YOU.

@aarfeld Sure, he was a kind man at times. Miles Always brought new talent to the stage.
I met this great Russian artist(painter) Zybezik in Florida who used to run that
huge jazz concert in Russia in the 60's, 70's and 80s.
Miles stayed as a house guest and has pictures of Miles cooking dinner in his house in Russia

and why is the audio only on the left side?
HEYCHECKITOUTYO 2 years ago
that would be the cheap VCR I used to convert this to DVD, only had one audio output, couldn't figure out how to make it go through both speakers
balddanny72 1 year ago
@HEYCHECKITOUTYO it's actually because jay leno only opens one side of his mouth when he speaks.
