Great vid. Doesn't Miles look a little bit amazed as he listens to John after his own great solo?

Cool. I use to work on Jazz Express magazine in London and had the pleasure of meeting Miles Davis (and other jazz greats, such as Dizzy Gillespie, Flip Phillips, and Benny Carter, as well as the likes of Scott Hamilton and Ronnie Scott ). Great musician.
The PizzaExpress Jazz Club (the Jazz Basement) on Dean Street in Soho was and is one of the best venues in the UK. Back in 1989, Benny Carter was playing there on his 81st birthday (man the guy's baritone sax was almost as big as he was, he wasn't the tallest of men, neither am I though) and after the last set and the customers gone, several of us stayed on into the wee hours of the morning celebrating his birthday, eating pizza, drinking and listening to him play and tell stories. What a life he had. Man, it was great.
Nice day in Dublin, this Easter Friday. Think I'll head to Dalkey Quarry to do a bit of climbing.

Good way to start my day, I might have to do that everyday. Any idea who the rest of the musicians are? Drummer, Bassist, Trombone players with the cool cat goat-T? That tune is so huge it makes everything else seem insignificant.

Jazz training tip: smoke a stack of cigarettes before and after your solos-seems to work for Miles and Coltrane.
Bachar, have you been holding out on us with the training secrets?

I just watched it again this morning, total synchronicity, that wouldn't have happened had you not posted this, a year ago.
Never saw the vid before the o post, upthread. But the music has been a 'favorite thing,' since early adulthood.
And good on us that no one snaped at Locker's bait, upthread.

I own Kind of Blue..I think the only jazz album I have. That is a pretty cool video.
My dad just went into the army and was in New York walking around with his other teenage buds waiting for a troop ship. He said they ducked into this dinky little bar and Dizzy Gillespie was jamming in the afternoon. He found out that it was Birdland..which didn't mean too much to him at the time.

Mr PC (Paul Chambers) on bass, Jimmy Cobb on drums, probably Wynton Kelly on piano in that vid. Miles was the greatest as he was probably the only musician in any field to change things around 4 or 5 times. Many guys, including Trane, had 1 or 2 things but Miles kept reinventing the music.
If you like the electric stuff check out the DVD "Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue"
