The Sound of Miles Davis

PBS has been showing this 4 song set intermittently the past few days.




...So What




...The Duke




...Blues for Pablo




...New Rhumba


It's a TV performance from 1959 featuring most of the Kind Of Blue musicians (sans Bill Evans & Cannonball Adderley) augmented by the Gil Evans Orchestra.

more interesting and entertaining from a visual point of view than
anything i've seen on tv all of this year so far, lol.

why aren't there more things like this on tv? even if they don't
make this kind of stuff anymore they should at least re-run this
kind of show all the time on tv. this is legacy stuff, the kind
of thing kids need to be introduced to.

from a sonic point of view, i'm floating right now lol love it love
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Glad you're enjoying it.

It's interesting to note that if you look at some of the major Jazz releases of that year...

Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Giant Steps - John Coltrane
Time Out - Dave Brubeck
Portrait in Jazz - Bill Evans
Sketches of Spain - Miles Davis


And some Pop tunes of the same year...

I Only Have Eyes For You - The Flamingos
Misty - Johnny Mathis
High Hopes - Frank Sinatra
Mack The Knife - Bobby Darin
Only Sixteen - Sam Cooke

That were getting mixed in with the emerging R&B/R&R tunes...

What'd I Say - Ray Charles
Kansas City - Wilbur Harrison
There Goes My Baby - The Drifters
Poison Ivy - The Coasters
La Bamba - Ritchie Valens

There was still a high level of musicality in all this music.

Where did it all go wrong? lol

Great stuff. The old "Night Music" shows (with David Sanborn) used to play these clips. I love Miles.

All Miles' music 2 me is the definition of progression, because while some cats never played it the same way twice, Miles never played it the same way ONCE. he he
