When Steve Allen asks the musicians what they are going to play, they tell him clearly and slowly "All Blues" - and he says "Oh, right... Blues of some kind or other." Duh.
If anyone owns the nintendo 64 game, "Mario-cart", go to 6' 14'' and you will notice that what Herbie plays is the almost the exact theme music which appears occasionally throughout the game. WOW!
Cheezus, Miles counts it out at like triple time! Must've wanted to get as much of the improvs in before they had to cut to commercials. How I miss Steve Allen. What a great show; thanks for uploading this clip!
most of the old Tonight Shows with Steve Allen are non-existent thanks to a custodian at a TV station clearing out and throwing reels of the show's original film reels into a barrel of acid, unknowingly as to their content. That's why clips like this one is really rare!

Steve was a comedian. He made clever comments. Miles didn't seem to take exception to his wisecrack about laryngitis. At the end, Burt was going to tell a true story about the Beatles. I wonder what it was.
Completely mind blowing genius from every person in the group. MIles of course, in his own world. But Shorter and Hancock? Jaysus, music does not get any better.
It's strange that they allowed people to smoke on tv in that era. They sure as hell wouldn't show most of the shit they show on tv now. of course now you can't smoke on tv. This is a great video though.
@helmfer Steve Allen should've known better than to say that Miles has "laryngitus," particularly since Miles' hoarse vocal and operation was a topic of conversation when he appeared on Allen's show before, in 1955. In the subsequent 9 years, what jazz fan didn't know why Miles spoke in a hoarse whisper?
Still, kudos to him for putting Miles and other jazz musicians on his show. This is fantastic!
Always appreciated the sophistication of Steve Allen who could make television into something better than what he termed the lowest common denominator. Beyond that, Miles Davis Wow!
@paranoidjones Just a side note: This show wasn't a network show either. It was syndicated. This is not meant to contradict your comment. It definitely was a different time for broadcast television.
@paranoidjones Hear! hear! Couldn't agree more! A iPhone has become a substitute for culture and creativity for nabobs who think talent comes from reality TV and civility from Ultimate Fight Club. What an incredibly vacuous, shallow, wilfully ignorant society this has become.
Funny really, media technology has got better, but the content to watch on it has got worse. It seems that we are in cultural freefall, and that not a snobby comment, I just feel many people are being distorted by those that set out to exploit them. When really you watch this video and you realise the pleasure you can take from things and people, when those things and people have taken the time to produce such wonderful things.
@paranoidjones You are SOOOOO right. This kind of brilliance is seldom heard again. Thank God for youtube in that case I suppose. So that we can at LEAST wittness what's come and gone and enjoy. Peace. :)
selmer bundy, that means it's produced by another company and stenciled "selmer usa", an entry-level-priced saxophon. depending on the maker they could be very good (some were made by keilwerth germany and some by american makers of good reputation). miles gave him a selmer paris mark six later.
THIS is a great piece of the story of jazz, the solo of Hancock is really cool!!! the world needs this kind of music.... but this kind of music is not throughly appreciable watchin a video on youtube... we need more real musicians like them!!
I agree with you, to get to this level we all know from the old school of hard knocks that it takes hard long hours of work, but not these days, anyone can rap or take a classic like this song and chop it up and make a mint off of it.

no, the republican party is far superior to the democratic party, but hte american people are the problem. They are the ones who defaulted on mortgages and racked up masssive credit card debt, which brought us to this economic crisis. Did George Bush tell people to take out loans they can't pay? NO. He called multiple times for fanny mae and freddie mac to stop giving loans to freaking bums, but the democrats in congress said "NO, we know what we are doing" Democrats know nothing about economics
Explain yourself, you Obama ass kisser. Exactly why do you dislike Sarah Palin? But wait, you can't becuase you can't even form an opinion because you have been brainwashed by the liberal media.
some love to steve allen. what other major tv host would give this much air time to a jazz group to perform? this was 1964, remember, when rock was taking over the world. beautiful performance by the band, but what was miles up to near the end of herbie's solo? herbie seemed to be waiting for his boss to show up.
I grew up in the 60's-I remeber well coming home after school and watching his afternoon show(Man In The Street,Louie Nye,etc)on Channel 11. Beautiful! I missed this show w Miles-I never even HEARD of him until 1971 or so,at which point this killer band was a piece of history. My loss-thanks for posting it. And another tip of the hat to Allen for his hip,funny show that kept this(then) 12-year-old in stiches-"Hi-HO,Stevie-rino!"
I think Miles was giving Herbie more time and space and thought he would use it but he was finished. If you see the brief exchange between them it seemed like that was the vibe.
it wasn't the live thing so much as the time period. miles sped up everything with the second quintet; and tempo was only part of it - harmony and form changed as well. he kept his repertoire very constant into the late sixties but the songs (walkin' is a good example) were rendered almost unrecognizable. it does take some getting used to if you like the studio version, but i like how miles kept things fresh.
WOW!!!!!Magnificent and weird co-ordination by everyone, they all seem to be drifting away at times but always know where to come back. This is truly ageless.
Wow, an actual video from the Steve Allen Show. How did "matthewcbrewer" even find this baby? It's awesome to see this; like taking a trip in a time machine.
Miles Smiles in regard to the fact that Herbie plays on the same plane of existence as Miles. It's the finding a soul mate. I can't get enough of the second great quintet, Williams, Shorter, Carter, Miles and Herbie, get outa here man, my vote for best jazz group this earth has ever seen.
An "early" performance by the "Second Great Quintet".....Wayne Shorter had recently joined Miles at this point, after exiting Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.....This band's 1967
performances show the final "development" of this quintet, and, as even Chris Botti had to admit on PBS, the future of jazz......
That's true...he does makes it sound easy, but I heard an radio interview with Ron and Herbie [back in the mid-1990's]
where they said they used to get together
[1 on 1] and practice playing over different chord cycles to get comfortable.....Also, the two of them had played together on many Blue Note records, for their own sessions, and as sidemen for others...all that works to create
that "E.S.P.", where they think and play as one person.....
I agree Wouter J, as mindblowing as Wooten can be (I suspect he's a cyborg as no human should be able to do what he does), I'll take Chambers, Keeter Betts, Neils Pederson et al anyday. The shit they were doing is just so tasty. This performance is truly great.
whenever people come towards me with big talk about Les Claypool, Victor Wooten or other contemporary bassplayers I tell them to check out Paul Chambers' work on "Kind of Blue" to hear what a truly great bassplyer sounds like. Don't get me wrong, Ron Carter is doing Chambers justice here though, no mistake about that.
beuh? herbie's solo makes me wanna kill myself for being unworthy. he makes them modal pieces so exciting by altering the harmonies in ways i don't quite understand
[by Jerry Coker]...that's where you transpose the given chord up a 1/2 step & return to original key center.....Sometimes he approaches the IV chord by preceeding it with
but he seems to side step with such ease, where it would take me a while to work out and then I'd never be able to slip back well. I've been trying this technique for ages, especially in relation to Tyner's playing, but its still never quite right.
the legendary Miles quintet... Wayne Shorter (who said Coltrane?), Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams... amazing. for me it's the best Miles period. it's not free, but it is more free than much free... they opened the structures, they worked on total improvising... one of the greatest jazz-bands of all times...
can't keep this song out of my head...heard a lot of jazz, but this has to be my favorite numer of all time...play it over and over and over. thanks for posting video.
When Steve Allen asks the musicians what they are going to play, they tell him clearly and slowly "All Blues" - and he says "Oh, right... Blues of some kind or other." Duh.

So under Miles' blue notes, theres a blue note? I think he's right.

I agree Wouter J, as mindblowing as Wooten can be (I suspect he's a cyborg as no human should be able to do what he does), I'll take Chambers, Keeter Betts, Neils Pederson et al anyday. The shit they were doing is just so tasty. This performance is truly great.

whenever people come towards me with big talk about Les Claypool, Victor Wooten or other contemporary bassplayers I tell them to check out Paul Chambers' work on "Kind of Blue" to hear what a truly great bassplyer sounds like. Don't get me wrong, Ron Carter is doing Chambers justice here though, no mistake about that.

beuh? herbie's solo makes me wanna kill myself for being unworthy. he makes them modal pieces so exciting by altering the harmonies in ways i don't quite understand

One technique has been called "side slipping"
[by Jerry Coker]...that's where you transpose the given chord up a 1/2 step & return to original key center.....Sometimes he approaches the IV chord by preceeding it with
a bV dominant 7th chord.....
MikeNichols50 3 years ago 2
but he seems to side step with such ease, where it would take me a while to work out and then I'd never be able to slip back well. I've been trying this technique for ages, especially in relation to Tyner's playing, but its still never quite right.

the legendary Miles quintet... Wayne Shorter (who said Coltrane?), Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony Williams... amazing. for me it's the best Miles period. it's not free, but it is more free than much free... they opened the structures, they worked on total improvising... one of the greatest jazz-bands of all times...

one of my all-time favorite songs. This song has been redone by so many folks because of it allows for a lot of improvisation.
