This is not free jazz form, but stays the best band of all times (i have a preference for W. Shorter).

[Mizamort]

Waou, too fast for me...this bopers are really crazy to play so fast...crazy, I should say drugged....

[stefanobass75]

woooooow!

powerful, elegant, intense.

[sonicboomfunk]

Why the FUCK would you even punch this into your search....STUPID, DUMB...HATER...FUCKS...This Is The SHIT!!!!!!!

[sonicboomfunk]

I'm gonna give you the definition of STUPID hatred...what people of color have been enduring for years...as well as other sects...from STUPID people...HOW the FUCK can you listen to this...all the way through and then you say you dislike...2 STUPID HATE FILLED (obviously) people!

[miketharipr]

Wow! Burnin'! Is this before Wayne joined the band?

[TheRajfather]

brilliant tempo

[peppersax]

Hey, could you guys play it a little faster?: Lol Every solo......rippped!!!! Tony Williams was what, 17, 18 years old? These 'cats' were all at the top of their game!!!

[thermosoverfil]

One of the secrets of Miles' longevity was his ability to recreate himself. Never complacent, never in the comfort zone, always moving on. This tune sums it up. The moody study of modes from the 1950s has grown into a breakneck tour de force. I love both but this is music at the edge. Dangerous.

[WAMEDJO]

@thermosoverfil

It is said that it was Tony Williams that push Miles to improve his speed at playing the trumpet. The story doesn't tell how he made to convince the Sorcerer but he did, that's a fact.

[BriansThing]

All awesome musicians

[vinny6737]

Tony Williams is da bomb on drums

[makasoona34]

holy crap thts like 320bpm miles and coltrane are insane!! Not sure who the drummer is here but hes insane too! AMAZING performance

[vibes7drum2]

This is an amazing example of the command Miles has over his music. The time blends with the universe in a seamless flow. The tones are so vivid as to reflect his total mastery of the space in and around each note. The Lord is with him.

[klassiekerrally]

Miles was a wizard. His mid 60s 5tet is the dogs. Check Live At The Plugged Nickel . . . magic!

[ryan216]

AMAZING!!!



[ryan216]

AMAZING



[turhan47]

pure...........



[MrTedbleen]

It's not free jazz-not even close.

[WugglesMartin]

Is this really free jazz?

[1deborahsf]

Eu ficaria o dia inteiro ouvindo isso. O que e´ isso? Copiando o colega acima. Um balsamo para os ouvidos...

[intoto2007]

Why nobody told me about this GREAT MUSIC?

[sabalouie2000]

2 dislikes...too raw for their ears!

[cutececi5]

This music is incredible.

[mikethesax]

WOW! The chops were flyin'! Never heard Miles play like that before. George Coleman great, the rhythm section unbelievable! The greatest ever? This is jazz played at it's highest level.

[quilombyte]

so fast!!!

[dahmin]

Cool performance and glasses 8)

[johngoo343]

check out my 26 best blues and jazz guitarist's video

[lancasterII]

Biff Henderson!

[SLAYER0429]

what a brilliant tempo opposed to the recorded version

[TheManRaptor]

Miles Tones = Milestones !

[KA1ZR]

how good are those glasses aye!

[jw22345]

if only i had those glasses

[LuizPagan]

Coleman's playing for me is VERY enjoyable. I love the My Funny Valentine album. I bought it when it was on wax and a lot later got it on a 2 disc CD. A lot, lot later Coleman did some excellent work with somebody Miles admired greatly, Ahmad Jamal.

[rockyL48]

... I'm very sure it was Coleman on the boss reed, not Mobley. Coleman is merely competent and while I've grown to appreciate him somewhat, in my later years, he doesn't compare to Mobley or, to be sure, the great J.C.

[rockyL48]

not really...check out Mile's benefit performance for a civil rights organization at one of NYC's cultural institutions. the one with Miles wearing a polka-dot tie and holding his trumpet in that iconic pose. The Columbia LP from, I believe 1964. I don't have the LP with me, now but check out the liner notes.

[jadams7961]

I dig this Jazz instrumental!

[ThePimpfuls]

im playin this for jazz band i see why my jazz band doesnt play his version lol

[ClassicRockFan1220]

Shit this is moving!

[nonameformetodaypf]

fuck thats quick!! miles davis on his bebop times awesome

[flugeliscious]

This is George Coleman on tenor sax. Please correct; it's definitely not

John Coltrane!

[rockyL48]

@flugeliscious Right. Coleman had a plodding, earnest style which, while competent, couldn't hold its own next to that dazzling harmonic ribbon of sound Coltrane started spinning in the late fifties, early sixties.

I remember buying Mile's columia rec., "My Funny Valentine" and being bitterly disappointed, having just heard "Kind of Blue"

[rockyL48]

@flugeliscious Right. Coleman's style was a bland, plodding earnestness which, while competent, didn't measure up to Coltrane's dazzyingly harmonic musical ribbon.

I remember spending my paper route money on Mile's "My Funny Valentine" on Columbia after just listening to "Kind of Blue" and being, well, let down at Coleman's playing.

[Rugt980]

@rockyL48 u got it wrong my funny valentine had hank mobley and trane. Both Mobley and coleman, miles main tenor players between 1960-64 are fantastic saxophonists!!

[SIRONEDRAGON]

great tune

[maomaotittymcmao]

those are some full blown coke glasses ive i ever seen em. strange link between cocaine and insane head dress, i guess him n george clinton shopped at the same place.

[OrganicThumb420]

exactly you can take those glasses off and walla perfect place to chop coke or heroin.

[PIEROROMOLO]

I'd like to know what session is it.

[Honz230]

Trane is the boss.

[rockyL48]

Actually, the glasses Miles is shown wearing were au curant for the late sixties and early seventies. Milestones is a tune emblematic of his work from the late fifties to mid-sixtiesl

And, drugs? Miles had kicked heroin by the time he was headlining on Prestige and Columbia, in the late fifties, early sixties. The drugs of choice for jazz musicians, during that period, were marijuana and heroin. Cocaine was unheard of in all but the most chi-chi circles.

[artistml]

@rockyL48 Miles was on Cocaine during various times in his later period. This is fairly common knowledge.

[rockyL48]

Sad to hear ;that, artistml. I grew up on Davis(I was eight when my uncle got me hooked on Miles): Miles, by the time I had started listening to him, had kicked the H and, by the force of his will, gotten Coltrane straightened out, as well (which precipitated trane's explosive burst of creativity on the later atlantic recordings and Impulse.)

.

[rockyL48]

....My interest in Miles's doings started to wane with the release of "Orbit" and flatlined upon my hearing "Bitches Brew" so I'll freely admit that anything after 1967 ala Miles would not be something I'd have closely followed

[analbleediscool]

@rockyL48 as a being of this era i must ask what chi-chi means?

[rockyL48]

@analbleediscool Chic--usually connoting [what was then], the arty, well-off crowd. Imagine some obscure but loaded [in every sense of the word] Baronness and the like cavorting at Newport, circa 1958.

[aldcor]

@rockyL48

"I could be a great musician if only i could be free" C. Parker

So, he started to use drugs.

[ddecto]

@rockyL48 he said in his autobiography that he did small amounts of coke before forty-twenty type shows, and once he eliminated those, he didn't need them much.

[rockyL48]

@ddecto Thanks for the heads-up, ddecto! Bebop and its progeny (cool, modal, hard-bop) was, for me, a revelation. I didn't care much about rock, motown, etc (although, later,I did tweek on modal rock [Byrds, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Buffalo Springfield) because of its relative chordic/harmonal complexity).

I freely admit that, after the mid-to-late sixties, my interest in Miles waned. I wasn't even well into my teens and I was beginning to act like an old fogey.

[OneofakindCrew]

Haha pffff, thats some fast-ass shitt!

these niggaz were on some drugs that day, definitely!

[HateRunsDeep]

LMAO.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[CZGagi]

you can't imagine what they have played

[noiculo]

Masters Miles,Tonny Williams,great version.....

[douglasgorney]

¡Mucho mejor punch!

[peppersax]

Miles was the epitome of............cool! Aren't people wearing those glasses now?

[aghoranathi]

gee wizz, thats fast. 360bpm?

[angelbeta]

Yes, it is fast. I like it though. What's the speed of the studio recording?

[stereom]

Studio version is moderately fast, this is very fast. The tempo of the song's performance could vary even more, as the 1969 band played a version of "Milestones" that appears to be half-speed from this 1963 live version! I've got a live recording where the band plays "Miles Runs The Voodoo Down" which has a mid-tempo groove and it immediately segues into "Milestones" in similar tempo.

[ggnzlz2008]

Esta es mjor versión que la del 58 (con cannonball adderley y coltrane) mucho mejor punch y tempo. Los solistas están más sueltos.

George Colleman tenor, Herbie Hancock piano, Ron Carter contrabajo, Tony Williams Batería.

[myhanmei]

드럼 베이스 죽일셈-_-;;;;

[loudrussell]

DAMN!!!!!!!!

[KINGOFMETAL767]

mmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm campbells good

[am3155]

Milestones, live and kickin. Never heard this track before. Amazing solo work, thanx for posting. Gotta love youtube.

[ansyf125]

Nothing better...

[wrldbfree2]

Man this brings back memories washing moms car on sunday morning listening to KBCA in L.A. I was in High School I remember going to the lighthouse in hermosa beach This is COOL

[sheriffii]

its from four and more,george coleman

[kaguth]

I gotta get those glasses.

[Harryvin007]

Welding glasses.

[jazzmangiant]

holy shit this is amazing

[wefwef08]

where did you get the picture?

[amusicianinparis]

The Phrasing is so different of Coltrane and also the sound. He's no John.

[crackheadwillie]

late 60's possibly early 70's. Trane likely dead by then.

[joznick1]

yer wilding, miles didn't play like this then

[BrutalBeef666]

this aint john coltrane, its george coleman or someone

[chatmancat]

I think it is wayne shorter, if it is the 65' formation with herbie Ect...

[Jazzman303]

Can't you just hear that that isn't Coltrane just by his sound... Coleman's and Trane's sounds are pretty different

[basshero449]

i do this in my school band and i play bass! so fun..

[joznick1]

hell yeah

[bubyuki2003]

great performance.

and,

this tenor is coltrane.

[Jazzman303]

No.. Its not Trane... Trane swings way harder.. but George is the man.

[ToroQ3000]

Damn. That's textbook epicness everyone's listening to right here!

[nyshoefly]

this is not john coltrane , its george coleman i believe...thanks for posting it though!

[jazztrmpr94]

Interesting tempo for this song, but I like it.

[circuscbx]

coleman is also on the complete concert CD.....miles said it was the best he ever heard him play that night. I love the bit in Stella where miles plays this bad-ass line, and then leaves it open, and some cat in the audience yells out so loud that it picks up on the mic. CLASSIC!!

[zdamned1]

which concert CD? i want to buy it just to hear what you described

[circusbone]

Its on the CD 1964 The Complete Concert My Funny Valentine......and the cut is Stella by Starlight....just listened to it this morning, to get my day going in a cool way.....trust me, its worth it.

[meissonen]

Maybe this is track 3 in the album "Miles Davis In Europe".

I found it now, and I also want to listen to this.

[chatmancat]

That's it !

Miles Davis (Trompette)

Herbie Hancock (Piano)

Ron Carter (Contrebasse)

George Coleman (Saxophone ténor)

Tony Williams (Batterie).

In 1963, at Antibes.

[MilesTrane21]

It wasn't a member of the audience, it was Tony Williams.

[JAZZI40]

Is this Milestone from album "Miles in Berlin" or "Miles in Europe"?

[4eyedCyclopes]

um, that aint Coltrane playin...

[jimbosingleton]

never heard this one.blazing tempo. not the famous berlin version with wayne. i say george coleman on tenor having a GREAT night,herbie,ron, and tony.

[bassscape]

FUCKING cool version! The solos are really killing, this tempo is real bad. Amazing.

[hoven]

This is the best "Milestones".

so fast.

[wrowuess]

He's not Coltrane! And this is the 2nd quintet of Miles Davis!!! What a ignorance!

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Right, this is the Miles of the 60s. Miles + Coltrane was 1956-1960, interrupted by Coltrane's stint with Monk in 1957.
