  • quote from miles himself, " you cant play anything on the horn that louis hasnt played already".

  • When Miles was in Bird's band recording his first set, he refused to play this song because it was "too hard". Man, he really figured things out on this recording. This guy is legend.

  • @funk45750 Go back and listen to the Hot 5 and Hot 7, you'll see what Miles means (if you can get past the abysmal recording gear in the 20s, which mostly I struggle with)

  • ... love Red Garland's piano, gentle yet strong. Philly Joe Jones is one of my favorite drummers and I love Miles' conclusion here, sonorous and moody.

    I hadn't even known that Miles recorded this song with his own band; thanks for posting.

  • I don't think Tunisia is all that nice right now, with the revolution and everything. Oh old times! <3 I'm tempted to comment on my wonderful taste in music XD

  • @soadfreak8888

    whose louis? I don't think louis armstrong plays this kinda jazz? I dunno.? just figuring this shit out now myself. man i cut my teeth on system thow. hope they regroup \m/

  • One of the great Miles recordings. The rhythm section is so together.

  • @FurlanPaolo I would argue that george shearing was the king of block chords, he would do full on blocks while red would play in octaves and shearing would hit it at raging speeds, it originated from milt buckner

  • @noidealeftbehind That's Red Garland, my friend... the king of block chords.

  • Che figata!

  • chido por el miles, pero el toque parker y gillespie faltaron... yo no se que comida haya sido central en la gastronomía gringa de esa época, pero dizzy y charlie eran como los frijoles y tortilla.. miles pudo haber sido el chile pero le faltó potencia
