Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue / Made In Heaven [pt I]

[wsvanderveen]

Fuck this. Can I just get the music. I don't want to hear about other humans commenting on it.

[1v4nSMF1lh0]

O disco da minha vida.

[aegfotografias]

Comecei a gostar de Jazz graças a Miles Davis e SO WHAT.............so what!!!! LOL

This guy was a genious, that´s why most call him The Picasso of Jazz......................

[aegfotografias]

Impressionante, Miles sempre me impressiona. O cara foi mesmo o Picasso do Jazz e ponto!!! isso não se discute.

[Deisinoful]

What's the point of these foolish random unconnected snippets of commentaries by celebrities about another celebrity? If just listening to music is not enough they could at least have someone really analysing Davis' music. I can't stand this American format of music documentary. 

[goucho1169]

can someone please give me a mla citation for this video!!!!!! i am using it for a school paper!

[RameshChotanagour]

@goucho1169 if you were in my class (I am a teacher) the youtube link would be perfectly acceptable as a citation. The important thing about a citation is that it gives the reader the chance to refer back to the original--the citation itself says nothing about the quality or reliability of the original source (mla is no 'better' or 'worse' than youtube in this sense); it just shows where you got your stuff. But THIS is an ORIGINAL source--original interviews, first-hand. A good teacher loves it!

[goucho1169]

@RameshChotanagour thank you very much!!

[blac2thafuture]

timeless miles , my dad used to play miles around the house when i was kid , he said it would cool me out

kind of bule -- masterpiece

[footjer]

There are 3 Holly Books(Pr.Moses,Pr.Jesus,Pr.Moh­amed) and Kind of Blue from Miles Davis.Peace,Love and Understanding for all Human being. Somalia.

[bimwopbarn]

ha wat is it about older people they always have to specify that they have the REAL vinyl albums

[jakjonsun]

no doubt it's a great album -- but the over-adulation of Kind of Blue in a way avoids true appreciation of Miles' entire work; by comparison Kind of blue is rather mainstream and plain -- for me 80s Miles is the best

[Whatisthescore]

@jakjonsun no way

[theinvisiblelight]

@jakjonsun BAAAAAHAHAHA ibet you liked kenny G too!

[Kinlow54]

@jakjonsun It is not over-adulation to understand the greatness of Kind of Blue for no other muscian in any other form of music had ever put together an entire album in which every song consists of every musican playing "melody" on every instrument.

To produce a piece of music like this using only "melody" could only be accomplished by a genius. In light of this, Kind of Blue, more than any other work by Miles, is a testimony to his true genius!

[gonzosavatar]

If you'll listen, Bill Cosby tells you the name of the tune.

[aevo01]

so what.

[khalifa1313]

what tune is this playing in the background..?

[diplomatiks]

@khalifa1313 "So What'

[humblebear]

was kind of blue recorded live with all the musicians playing together or was it layered? thanks

[jonnydarkmusic]

All the musicians playing together, that's the only way you can play jazz.

[aevo01]

all playing toghether

all songs are first take

flameco sketches is the second take

[RATMfan92]

Herbie Hancock! One of my favorite artists! I think he's as good as Miles was.

[Ormaaj]

I can't listen to this without saying:

Fuck yeah.

[Lillogambino]

those first chords...they have a NY morning written all over them...there cannot be better jazz!

[soulangel835a]

@Lillogambino  a nyc sunday morning

[nexisbeats]

This record surpasses special.

[Ldstructo]

Why is it that in order to build jazz up you have to knock hip hop?

I like them both for what they are. I am a child of the 80's and grew up on both musics. If you really respected one as much of the other you would realize that one is simply an extension of the other.

[aishasgoat]

Yes, Hip-Hop needs to be dropped into the trash-bin !

We have to go back into the time, where these things have been happening.

The Hip-Hop Gangs can not be considered any useful extension of such.

So here you had a very fine and educated character and perceptive mind, ... but why was there not any logical continuation of this?

[Ldstructo]

There was no logical continuation because posting boards have limits. Hip Hop as a culture is an extension of all American artforms...rap the music is an extension of jazz, the blues, classical music, poetry- it's whole basis is extemporaneous in nature.

When I say rap and hip hop recognize that much of what is tagged as that today does not qualify.

Regardless you can't say that the bad examples of these groups only affect people of color. There are more poor Whites in America than Blacks.

[aishasgoat]

There is something wrong with certain Elements in Rap and Hip-Hop Music.

These Elements have a certain influence on the black and colored Cummunities, which is not benefitial for them and does harm to them.

[Ldstructo]

Aisha I completely disagree. No one trashes the blues now and you can argue that blues was the hip hop of its day.

What is wrong is people taking personal responsibility for the rearing and care of their children. I'm not saying that the messages that this brand of "rap" if you want to call it that are sending out today is the best, but good soap parenting cuts through greasy oil and bullshit.

The problems that exist were before hiphop, if you blame them blame visual media too.

[stealth387]

"No one trashes the blues now" - I agree with your point but the same sort of disapproval by the older generation towards the new generation that exists in Hip Hop today, existed in the Blues back in the 50s and 60s. The Blues musicians who came up in the 30s/40s or earlier, were critical of musicians that came afterwards for playing Jump music and calling it the Blues.

[stealth387]

So, in any style of music, there has always been a certain atmosphere following the "golden era" of that style, whereby people from that era criticize the merit of the new generation's ability to play the music that they feel they've earned the right to call their own. Rap is still relevant today, mostly for the fact that it is still the most popular style of music and nothing has yet to eclipse it.

[stealth387]

I feel that Rap or Hip Hop(which includes all the art forms of the culture) still has room to grow. Like any other style of music there are still musicians in the field that continue to innovate and advance the art, and whom are not recieving the due that they deserve. The originators of Hip Hop are still quite young and the culture is still relevant and growing. The thing is that the business of Rap music has evolved and the image of the culture has transformed over the years.

[stealth387]

The originators claim to the culture is legitimate and they have a right to comment on Hip Hop today, but when the artform reaches the end of it's creative potential they will have to step aside for whatever comes next. That being said, some of the early bluesmen gave props to the generation that took on the Blues in the 60s. John Lee Hooker admired Jimi Hendrix for example. You'll find other examples as well, of older bluesmen collaborating with the bluesmen of the 60s.

[Whatisthescore]

@stealth387 Rap can be really cool but today most rappers aren't in it for the music..Tupac (who knows if he was in it for the music) was incredible with rhythm.

[aevo01]

@stealth387 you don´t know what you are talking about.

[aishasgoat]

This documentary is so cool, I wished, that it could be refurbished and put on the market, to show

all those rapper chap imbeciles, ..what exactly they have been missing.

Miles has always been a close friend of mine, close to my mind ... and close to what is actually going on in a moment of time.

This record is a milestone, not only in music but in the exploration and expansion of the human mind as well.

I was very concerned, when I learned, he had died before he could perform his opum magnus.

[Ldstructo]

Furthermore, Miles respected Rap and saw it as an extension of what he and his contemporaries were doing with Jazz.

He felt it was the next black artform to blow. And, he was right.

[aishasgoat]

Quick question:

Who was this Mister T, which is featured on your Channel Page?

This seems to have been a quite remarkable person.

Is this man still alive?

[Ldstructo]

LOL, I would think you were joking a little. I'm not sure but then again I'm not sure whether you are of American birth or even a child of the 70's or 80's, so.....

Mr. T was an American hero figure from a show called the A-Team. He played a mercenary hero that was a big brolic man that had a hard heart for his enemies, but a soft shoulder for kids. He became very popular and was in movies like Rocky II, had a Saturday Morning Cartoon, and was big into mentoring.

Yes, he is still alive.

[aishasgoat]

So, how old is this man now?

[Ldstructo]

If you wiki him you can find out. Just google "Mr. T" or B.A. Barackus (that was the name of his character on the show)

[Infectiousthought]

to bad all the gangsta and money booty sex worshipers whored themselves out. if u want real rap/hiphop u need to search the underground

[flippenpinoi]

sorry i love ATCQ but qtip sounds like an effing idiot.

[zuck21]

myall time favorite album..long live miles

[doctormente]

sencillamente es excelso ,pienso q es de lo mas grande que se ha hecho musicalmente hablando

[TriggerHappyMariachi]

who's the whacko at 0:33?

[DigitalFortress7220]

TriggerHappyMariachi the "whacko" is Q tip from A Tribe Called Quest a hip hop group very popular in the 1990's. Their music was good one of my favorite groups when I was in my teens. But now that I'm into jazz I realize that stuff can't even compare. Sad thing is most people my age and younger probably have never even listened to Miles. Will this beautiful music still be remembered 50yrs from now. I certainly hope so. But there's a whole gen. that doesn't have the appreciation. Sad.

[TriggerHappyMariachi]

thank you, dude. well i only called him that because what he said didn't make any sense. you shouldn't have a bible and never read it just as you shouldn't have a miles davis record, especially this one, and not listen to it. i got hooked on jazz through a documentary series on bbc. my huge respect to all the jazz greats!

[anthrax1218]

I think in most great bands there's one member, besides the leader, that defines the way the album is thought of. Davis attracted and created these types of players, Coltrane with the first quintet and Williams with the second. Here though, Evans is that guy. I can't even begin to describe how important he was to this session. His playing and solo on "Flamenco Sketches" is brilliant. It's also cool to hear how much he changed "Peace Piece" to make, in my opinion, the album's best and final tune.

[raininmyst]

LOL @ Bill Cosby! 0:28

[pjccannella]

do u know that Frank Sinatra is Miles Davis fav singer. TRUE!!

[djsleepyg]

hey, "barkofink"...my favorite post on you tube. i cannot get enough of this record. my favorite record, from my favorite artist! no doubt!

[vova47]

It´s a great record, but I don´t get all the hype. I can name about 20 jazz albums that are at least as good or better IMO.

This said, "Blue in Green" is absolute masterpiece. But I prefer " The Jazztrack"

album of the same group for overall feeling.

[cathmuller]

I watched all 3 parts of this documentary. Just sublime. An almost unbearably beautiful album and this film is a stunning homage. Thank you barkofink, so very much, for posting this movie in its entirety. It made my night. Truly, a speacial treat.

[trumpetmaster5505]

can someone post just the song on here?!

[PatarWolfe]

I've never been to a record store that didn't carry kind of blue, and probably wouldn't shop there if they didn't.

[xRIKTERx]

i'm twenty and was never super into jazz but always appreciated it...i'm more into independant hip hop...but miles davis has really peaked my interest lately cause i been kinda depressed...gotta keep an open mind...good music is good music, regardless of when it was made or to what discepline it belongs...keep this music ALIVE...kill popular radio

[bhuj89]

good hip hop - and in my opinion indie hip hop is good music - is based on jazz too. thats the difference between true hip hop fans and wanna bes: appreciating jazz/soul/funk legends cuz they paved the way for rap

[mvp13klb59]

great comment,smart comment...

bhuj89.....

tell it like it is..!!!!

[EvolvedOutlaw]

Well done...great post...miles davis...phenominal

[mharty111]

Thanks for posting this.

we are playing all of the songs in my high school jazz band.

[flippenpinoi]

awesome!

there was this guy who had the same series up but he took it down for some odd reason.

i watch this at least once a week

[WendyGrace11]

Yeah, thankyou. One of my favourite records of all time...every home should have one!

[avs002]

Thanks for putting this up!!

I'm currently sorting through "The Complete Kind Of Blue Sessions" - basically the album with about 15 minutes of outtakes & bloopers.

I'm hoping to post a new video around it sometime soon.

[4eyedCyclopes]

avs002..well, have ya done it yet??? not a rhetorical question..i went to your page but there was just too damn many videos to look through..let me know, please.
