  • HISTORIC MOMENTS. THOSE TIMES IN WHERE IF THE PLANETS WERE ALIGNED MILES DAVIS, WAYNE SHORTER, HERBIE HANCOCK, TONY WILLIAMS, CHARLIE PARKER, THELONIOUS MONK, WES MONTGOMERY, THE BIGGEST NAMES OF JAZZ IN THE PANET WERE PLAYING TOGETHER IN THE SAME STAGE...

  • 5 of some of the most influential musicians in one place. Ladies and gentlemen, this IS music.

  • so innovative it makes drummers like buddy rich and max roach cry. not ripping on either drummers. but man, tony was original

  • why isn't Tony Williams capitalized in the description

  • Miles wanted TW with his quintet more than anyone.."Man this fucker is for real!"

  • tonys left foot...damn!!!

  • I'm left Speachless....................­..

  • Would not replace any of these guys if you gave me 5 draft picks and a time machine.

  • "one of the greatest quartets of its time"? I'll raise you "highwater mark of jazz since the time they invented that "Jesus Christ"character". Lol

  • thats how america should invade in other countries..

  • bom pra caramba

  • Geni!!!!!!!

    

  • This is one of my favorite lineups of ALL time. Tony Williams is 17 years old man!!!!

  • Man, I love the change at 01:33

  • one of the greatest quintets in its time!!!

  • There's a great story concerning Miles and Tony Williams.

    After the initial set in some club the owner approached MIles and opined: "Miles, fabulous man...except that your drummer had a tendency to play to loud." Miles responded:

    You know why my drummer plays loud? It's because he's the baddest muthaf**ker on the planet."

  • I think Tony Williams was just old enough to drive a car at this point. Incredible musician, Miles always accepted younger players to teach him things,

  • @nobodady1

    According to Miles...it was Tony's band.

  • great sound quality for being live

  • I could be wrong, but this group recorded My Funny Valentine/Four and More with George Coleman on saxophone in 1964. This must be later than 1963, no?

  • but thanks for posting regardless, these guys are killin!

  • @bensax2bass

    It was 1967 in Berlin, in the night I was born :))

    Next night they played in my neighborhood, un4tune8ly I was too smoule for coming. But I'm shure I shouted anyway

  • in case anybody's wondering, this tune is called 'Agitation' and was first recorded on the album ESP

  • @250Yogi My favorite after "KOB"

  • just loving every second of this performance.

  • Just off this earth!

  • Concert took place in Stockholm 1967/10/31. Miles Davis was age 40, Wayne Shorter 34, Herbie Hancock 27, Ron Carter 30, Tony Williams 21.

  • great Miles !

  • The drummer has been watching too much Muppet Show.

  • @whatsitallabouthey Only one muppet connected to that sentence, and it ain't Tony Williams.

  • @bestbutter LOL ...@whatsitallabouthey areU idiot? Tony Williams plays ahead of time&space. after "The Quintet" only Bach.point

  • in "Stockholm" and most likely nervous. Basically, this is how great artists sound str8! Tony is screaming out for a blunt. I can feel'm....

  • don't think miles was feeling it in this concert

  • GSA "Project Funk Jam"/ "All Blues" 

  • Miles' playing time throughout the whole feel Iaido. There is no waste. So Japanese could be supported. Beauty and the time to quit while blowing. The ink painting - so. Many co-star becomes a unique KY only just. The have the best wind for swallowing.

  • Miles Davis!!!

    相変わらず,ロン&トニーのリズム隊が,マイルスを煽ってますね­え。

    この疾走感はモダンジャズの最も先鋭的な鋭さを創出してますね­。

    upされた方に敬意を表します。

    Amazing♪!!!!!!!

  • 25 people think Justin Beiber is the highest of musical achievement.

  • @jesuscouch omg soooo funny!!!!!!!!

  • that is so awesome when wayne centers his solo around that one not and plays solely that one note for like 8 bars while syncopating...what a mastery of musicianship each and every one of them posesses

  • I did have seen Wayne Shorter recently in Concertgebouw Amsterdam, but He did not like it. And played only the soprane sax. But together with my hero and also Herbie Hancock:it is fabuluos!Is Herbie H. still alive?

  • What song are they playing?

  • @doorrobotics something from the album esp i think rj or 81 or iris or little one maybe esp im not sure

  • @yourfamilydocter my bad. is shoulda known its agitation on the album esp

  • What is Hancock's most famous music?

  • @Otuyonrui his stuff with the head hunters i think or his work with miles needless to say

  • @Otuyonrui watermelon man, cantaloupe island, chameleon, maiden voyage

  • true jazz...... Miles said....".time floats in this band...there is no double time or half time..... we move in and out like an orchestra ....we slow down ...we speed up.... we weave like tapestry"

  • This had to have been one of the best black jazz bands put together. They were all so young. Tony Williams was the youngest. All are still living except for Tony and Miles. Wayne - Ron - Herbie are still with us.

  • @jbasslindsey

    Best black jazz bands? Really?

  • this drummer rukes!

  • Drummer is flying back there..... oh yeah I'm blazing away no problem.... can't see me I'm too fast... *yawn* *stretch* I just made that up on the spot... whoa was that mach 3?  I think that might be a new record

  • @KuatBacktoid Williams was a muther.

  • Greatest black music

  • this band was Miles' greatest acheivement !

  • @longboarder1960

    probably true.

  • Cameraandanno is correct.

  • メンツ、豪華すぎ(笑)!

  • Birth of the punk drummer

  • improvising (esp soloing) at speeds like these is one of the hardest tasks as a drummer

  • MAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Que chamos tan bellos, Wayne es apenas un carajito y ya tremendo virtuoso. Gracias a todos ellos estudié en Berklee.

  • Uhh, it's amazing they could play such cool, free & energetic music wearing those suits...

  • To my untrained ear, Tony Williams kinda sounds like Elvin Jones.

  • @zypherax Well, both of them played in a style that was more free and sporadic than a lot of jazz drummers, but there were some things that were different and similar between them. Tony used to play (0:57) the hi-hat on quarter or eight-notes instead of the standard of using it on 2 and 4 to keep time, and to me, he strayed away even more from his contemporaries because he relied less on swing. Elvin played the hi-hat inside the ride for comping, and he relied solely on swing to keep time.

  • Sweet.... don't get no better...

  • major jazz fan here, from the perspective of listener, not musician. suffice it to say , THIS is CLASSIC jazz at its best! ammmmazing! check out how the cats are in-tune with each other. i have to stop typing so i can really pay attention. as for tony williams, dayyyyum, the cat was amazing, still is, even though he's now an ancestor. as for shorter, the cat is like the best champagne one could ever taste, i.e., he just keeps getting better and better over time.

  • 25 pessoas não viram o video

  • 25 people had a eargasm and press the wrong button

  • ron carter fuckin kills it!!!

    

  • well tony is a legend and actually i like his playing...but i think he rly ruins this one :(

  • @FoolOfTheWeek Really? How? In what way?

  • @biotonk well the video quality may be also guilty here but i think he just overplays it, i just would like it more with less drums. anyway i heard it again now and i think its depending on my mood as well because i wouldnt use the world "ruins" this time.

  • @FoolOfTheWeek I disagree ... Tony is perfect, he is his own tough voice and comps like a mutha!! Everything he does is just perfect for the song. If it were somebody else on drums playing in a different way, this tune just wouldn't be the same. Tony's individual energy is an effing huge part of this.

  • I recently went to the Fillmore JAzz Fest in San Fran. Didn't hear a lick of jazz! Nothing even remotely like this stuff! I guess since that venue was free I shouldn't complain but that whole festival was whack!

  • @msudlp hahahahah

  • @msudlp ...awwwww.. don't you just hate that..

  • these people out the door, and no longer has anything else to be said.

    thanks!

  • esse pessoal sai pela porta, e já não tem mais nada pra ser dito.

    obrigado!

  • where can i get this full video?

  • behave yourselves, your on TV and your lucky to be at this time. Beatles and elvis were getting all the hits and jazz went into transition and experimentaion during the sixties. What a shame for the great aritist of this time.

  • @paisteguy799 I love this analogy. Spot on.

  • Although Miles was a great trumpet player, he was an asshole.

  • @Voodomania at times ,yes x)

  • @Voodomania Yeah. Pretty much. To fans, interviewers, his wifes. I love his music though.

  • nobody could really play miles, no one could do hendrix robert johnson or coltrane, too strong of character, you gota give it to ghost dogg for giving a pretty good shot at BIRD..least we got this great footage..

  • Don Cheadle as Miles Davis......perfect

  • splendid!

  • jazz = harmony in the chaos

  • inacreditável

  • Is there a video/DVD of this whole concert?

  • I like jazz

  • this is one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my life.

    besides coltrane and elvin

  • this is one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my life.

  • wow amazing my sis tld i hate it then i punched her badly

  • Don Cheadle as Miles would be the perfect choice....i hear there is a script floating around.

  • @kimedmundson1 exactly

  • oy -

    wheres the rest of herbie's solo?

  • ron carter is one awesome dude

  • @MriPTuser Exactly!!!

  • マイルスのプレイは全時代を通して居合道を感じる。無駄がない。­だから日本人に支持されるのかも。吹き際と引き際の美。水墨画の­よう。ただ異色なだけにKYになってしまう共演者も多い。タメが­演歌風にならないのも最高。

  • @4dabz i was going to say the same thing

  • @4dabz i put that in google translate, here is what it said:

    "Miles' playing time throughout the whole feel Iaido. There is no waste. So Japanese could be supported. Beauty and the time to quit while blowing. The ink painting - so. Many co-star becomes a unique KY only just. The have the best wind for swallowing."

    No good?

  • Hey drummers!!!! Tony williams rules... \o/

    very fast...

  • is this Hardbop?

  • @WAVEMANIACLien Yes and no. The band takes up a lot from Hard Bop but they also use elements of avant-garde. - Keith Waters has just written an inspiring book about that: "The Studio Recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet 1965-1968", New York et al. 2011

    @250Yogi: The tune is called "Agitation", composed by Davis (they made a studio recording for the album "E.S.P.", January 1965 in Los Angeles).

  • is this Hardbop?

  • This is incredible. I can hardly imagine a more impressive grouping of musicians. What tune is this?

  • Miles D.nagy ragadozó

  • WoW ... now this is as much as genius as you can get ... damn ... all those guys together ...

  • what tune is this?

  • this is music

    

  • This is 1967, not 1963. In 1963 Wayne Shorter was not yet in the band (George Coleman was). And this is the later, freer side of the second great quintet. So Tony Williams was 22. Well, still amazing though...

  • this is blowing my mind so much that i don't even know that its blowing my mind.

  • you know music has to change with the times and each time frame produces incredible music, but this the jazz era had that one special thing which is lacking in most modern forms "class"

  • Actually, they are the truly "All Blacks", the other guys are just .... er.... an episode of Glee I guess....

  • tony williams was awesome at only 17 here

  • zoned out right now

  • these guys put me in the zone.

  • Tony was 17...SEVENTEEN in this clip. While most teens limit their aspirations to smoking pot, looking at boobs, and partaking in under-aged drinking whenever possible, Tony had perhaps a more productive agenda (though I'm sure he did all those other things too).

  • @lydianflatseven tony didn't look at boobs. he was gay.

  • Look kids REAL MUSIC!!!!

  • they dont make them like they used too..... groups that is. Pure genious

  • HOW ABOUT A NICE HAND FOR A YOUNG TONY WILLIAMS.....!

  • Herbie Hancock?? Miles Davis?? Tony Williams? Can not be bad ...

  • Smokin amazing awesome rare footage.......Woowwwwww R Tullius

  • Did you know Tony Williams was a wonderful piano player also?

  • this is just brilliant

  • DAMN what a combination of great players!

  • jazz music is good. especially, listening at midnight.

  • Tony William is so good, he's drumming is insane

  • these are the greats.i love and appreciate all of you

  • grea t !

  • Tony dances all over the drums......there is only implied 2 and 4....

    the form is totally open, they are in 1.

  • Does anyone know the sticks that Tony was using at the time ?

  • Magnificent. Too good to be true

  • Don Cheadle as Miles Davis

  • @Ausir2001 ,,,coorl!!mang,,dong cheagle as davis...that rocks!!

  • @Ausir2001 The black who plays the captain on the Fox show Fringe. He also played the captain in the Wire on HBO. Sorry i forget his name.

  • @Ausir2001 Lance Reddick is his name.

  • @Ausir2001 . I agree he would do well. Common Clint! You put Forest Whitaker in as Bird for the Charlie Parker story. Miles' story has to be just as intreging if not more. His music spans way more time and way more musical genres.

  • the fuck are the 19 people who dislike this?

  • @EvanTempleton oh man you are funny!

  • Tony Williams was such an outstanding drummer. He always amazed me.

  • FUCK YOU

  • This can't be 1963. Shorter did not join Miles before 1964. I'd say this is 1967.

    I wish there was some videos of 1963 quintet with George Coleman though.

    My favorite group of that period.

  • "Agitation", live version of rack on the LP "ESP"....

  • This is a live version of "Agitation" from the LP "ESP".

    One of the first jazz records I heard...

    some of my favorite records of all time by anybody include these jazz LPs, get the vinyl if you can:

    Miles: ESP, Nefertiti, Filles de Kilimanjaro (all this quintet)

    Coltrane: Live at Birdland

    Herbie Hancock: Maiden Voyage

  • @lopezb Don't leave out Chick Corea & Dave Holland on Filles de Kilimanjaro. That beautiful begining with bass - drum - piano on Mademoiselle Mabry is magical.

  • @MrHenigans Absolutly.

  • One big Genius!

  • There's different subjective tastes... and then there's Miles Davis' bands.

  • What album is this from?

  • This is from 1967, not 1963.

  • The Art of Improvocation!

  • I have this CD!

  • Luv to see Miles 'n the guys whenever possible. 

  • The original "Fab Five"

  • far farfrom music and swing and colours..

    remind me sunday mornings on the radio 35 years ago...

    analog3D sound in mono ....velvet for ears

  • I think that only good people can love this music:-)

  • I think that only good people can love this music.
