Both men were Icons of their instruments. RIP David and Miles.
RIP also to drummer Ricky Wellman...and percussionist Don Alias
Night Music was the best music show ever on TV. Back when musical tastes were alot more eclectic than today.
And a LOT better educated.
I'd argue tastes are more eclectic now. The Internet completely changed the game. Young folks you may think only listen to a certain genre actually listen to a ton of old stuff and genres you may not think they do. I'm 47 btw.
Just heard David Sanborn died. What a player. Saw him in Glasgow jazz International concert. When you look at all these guys . What memories.
Anyone in 2020 wishing they could be in that audience 👋
Whose watching here 2020..Those great jazz players during my time..
Me
@@kamuelalee I am here in Finland and watching :-)
Always defending 80s Miles against the haters so yes, watching...
Me! I'm watching it and greatly enjoying. Hi from Montreal to every Miles' music lover.
Me too
This show used to air in the NYC area very late, like 1:00 a.m. or later on Sunday night into Monday morning. I used to stay up to watch it even though I had to get up early for work the next day. There was no youtube and DVDs hadn't become a thing yet either, so when a gem of a show like this came around, serious music fans simply had to sacrifice the sleep and stay up to watch. It's unfortunate this show was set up to fail by not being given a prime time TV slot. Nobody watched because it came on too late, then the network suits canceled the show saying nobody watches it. It never had a chance.
Bro, I swear you took my whole bio, lol. Did exactly the same thing staying up late on Sunday knowing I had to be up early the next day for work, but 'Sunday' was appointment viewing and as you said there wasn't ANYTHING like it on tv. No easy access repeated viewing on social media. Thanks for the memory.
While stationed in Germany my buddies told me about the show. He had discovered it while on leave. Thank God for you tube. RIP David. Love your music.
Used to get it on NHK Satellite. Loved that show.
U R exactly right, Thanks for tryn,Dave S❤😊
Rip David amd Miles thanks for your fine music
RIP Don Alias as well
4:54 so sorry for that we have lost such a nice human being and one of the best musicians that has ever lived.❤
Don’t know how Kenny Garrett would keep his shit together when Miles would give him that same intense stare he gave Coltrane, Cannonball, and Hancock. My god. So much respect for these musical gods.
Kenny don’t scare.
RIP. Thank you for sharing all this music with us. It meant so much for someone who had such limited access to these jazz legends to be introduced to them on your show.
Thank you David and Miles for all the great music. So much appreciation for both these giants. As well as all the great players on this video. Gone but never forgotten. Miles - my pick for the most important musician in the last century, and without a doubt the coolest dude ever!
Miles Davis and David Sanborn - doesn’t get better than this. Loved this show back in the late 80’s / early 90’s.
Jazz legends and stars of that time just jamming together. 😍🤩
And can’t forget the incomparable Kenny Garrett
Marcus Miller, one of the best bassists ever. When you have Miles Davis on your resume you’re somebody.
And Zappa.
And Marcus wrote and composed and arranged ghee TUTU record and Miles would only come in to check out how it was sounding and lay down his horn when needed. But Marcus…Marcus was playing all the instruments on the demos for Miles to listen to. Marcus is so much more than one of the best bass players of all time. He’s also one of the best composers and arrangers and writers of the last 40 years period.
@@jordandangelo180indeed!
So fortunate to see both David Sanborn and Miles Davis play together in a concert at the old Caravan of Dreams in Downtown Fort Worth - Talk about a show for the ages.
The INFAMOUS "TU TU"...This Song Is And forever will Be an Epic Classic From Marcus Miller featuring The INFAMOUS Miles Davis...My Blessed Vietnam Vet Father Who Played The Hammond B3 Organ and Trumpet 🎺 used to play this song all The Time ....Everybody Just Blended sooo Exceptionally Well Together...Loved and Still Love This Blessed Performance From This Show & This Particular Era In Time...💜💯🎨🆒🌎✨🇺🇸☮️🙏.
Miles was great....because he adapted to all aspects of change. Even embracing the blending of hip hop and jazz. I feel fortunate...I saw 👀 him live in 1981 and again in 1991.
Yeah, you are SOOOO lucky - I was too young to have gotten to see him live. As I majored in saxophone performance in college I hate that I never saw him live.
Sore thoat for 33 years, that is dedication to the craft the Creator blessed us with through him. Awesome job Miles Davis.
The sound of Miles is always to me like the sound of the Ocean, he can stretch you the endless shores, he can bring you the most beautiful rivers, he also can bring you the most fierce hurricanes and the biggest waves, he can drag you to the frozen waters of Europa where you don't wanna go. Miles was an absolute musical Alien on Earth.
hey...this is an amazing performance...and yes, your comments...getting inside........
Who’s watching greatness in 2024 ❤❤
Sunday Night is one of the best shows on tv. Just think of it. Miles and Sanborn playing Tutu together. It was great to see jazz and musical legends playing together on free tv. That will not happen again in my lifetime.
"Mr. Pastorius" is a beautiful and somber tribute to Jaco. Thanks Marcus.
Imagine Jaco being alive here in this still and playing bass?!
It is impossible to overstate how great Miles was, and how important to music. And Night Music was one of the best damn tv programs ever aired.
True icons RIP BROTHER TRUMPET PLAYER AND SAX PLAYER MILES AND DAVID
Miles would hit certain notes and you just wish you could keep it locked up in your head for life. Uncanny man! I'm so happy that his career direction evolved over all those precious years.
so would jimi hendrix
Jazz has only ever had a small following, not everyone appreciates or even understands it. Those who love jazz are grateful for opportinies like this to see the giants of this musical genre. The musicians themselves are some of the best out there. It is ironic, that there are those who start off in pop music and if there is any talent they eventually graduate to jazz its just all part of their own musical evolution. For myself, my exposure was my dad. He loved his jazz. Never forget that one time he brought home an album Dave Brubeck and Carmen McRae, yeah that one. He was so excited played it every chance he got blown away. I am 69 and still educating my ear evolving and learning as I go. Most of all grateful to have had my dad expose me to this artform at a young age.
I REALLY MISS THIS SHOW, IT WAS FOR MUSICIANS AND JAZZ LOVERS !!!!!!!
brian brianmh34 yes this snow was for jazz lovers indeed. It’s a shame it was cancelled.
For musicians and jazz lovers yes ! And for rock lovers as well ! For everyone really, because as I remember they used to feature all varieties all styles. Classical too. Great show !
@@Karensinger9 I agree. But it was on at like 1 am Sunday night, wasn't it? Even jazz lovers have to get up for work on Monday...
Am sorry guys but isn't just for jazz lovers, it's for all who love high quality music!!❤❤❤
@@mariacarvalho7260 If you like smooth jazz, fusion or standards that's fine. It mainly featured jazz/ blues artist at the time. Some metal heads R&B and blues guys or girls loved it but it was good show regardless
Great time capsule. One of the best jazz programs on air in America. All the musicians came into their own after the great fortune of playing with the one and only Miles. Hats of to Sanborn!
Yes absolutely the greatest musical program ever. You had to catch it late night just before the work week would start. I loved watching Omar Hakim and Djavan especially.
It's still amazing to see that Miles was able to adapt to changing trends in music. One really has to look over his entire career to understand that evolving and adapting was the norm rather than the exception for him.
smoothjazzaxe
I agree with your comments. When you wrote that "...Miles was able to adapt to changing trends in music", I may be off a bubble, but Herbie Hancock came to mind, as also being adaptable to trends. We've had some great artists visit our planet and bless our lives.
Hes a gemini as jimmy heath said
We had better simply accept that music will NEVER be this great again, and that we were privileged to be around in this era to hear, enjoy and appreciate it. Jazz in general - and Miles Davis's genius in particular - taught me how to live on a deeper, more spritual level that would have been possible without both. When something has the power to change your life, it is a sign that you have the ability to change. And change is growth.
I remember setting my alarm so that I could watch this show. I was so mad when it was cancelled!
I can't say i enjoy this period in the Miles discography as much as the earlier works, but I always respect him for doing exactly what he wanted to do, right up until the end. RIP Miles, and David Sanborn 😢
the miles and marcus collaboration is timeless, genius.
YES, they had collaboration on 3 different projects (albums) !!! Best music for my generation was Miles & Miller !!!!!
don h One of my all time favorite Albums, TUTU !
@@deniskostic1502 Marcus without the hat
WOW! With Rick Wellman on Drums too, Miles was All That and More!
"I've had a sore throat for 33 years" - Miles Davis
I didn't expect that and almost spit out my drink! Too funny, love that Miles!
David's music is tge sound track of my youth and years of discovering great music. Thank you David. Your music will live on. ❤
I saw Miles with this band at the North Sea Jazz Festival summer of 1989. It was a great show.
Can you imagine today seeing a TV program featuring Jazz music with the talent the likes of Miles, Miller, Sanborn & Kenny Garrett?!
with legendary special guests every week.
This is one of the greatest jazz videos I've ever heard, so grateful it's here. Pure silk magic.
If you haven't yet heard jack johnson,On the corner,live Evil,or Agharta,etc.. i would recommend you do so! this is tame compared to the brutal force & raw energy that Tutu,& all his stuff after man with the horn,he ran out of puff by then
The trading between Kenny Garret and David Sanborn is something else too
Yeah, David Sanborn bravely stands right in there with Kenny Garrett. And Sanborn's appearances on other episodes of Night Music, also show he's capable of much more than smooth jazz. Good journeyman level saxophone-ing. He's not stratospheric like a Kenny Garrett or, in a different context, a Phil Woods, but David Sanborn can play.
is that your assessment of Sanborn? That he's lesser than Garrett but, ya know, alright? And "more than smooth jazz"? You have a lot of research to do, my friend. Sanborn "bravely stands in there with Kenny Garrett?" Christ.
Sanborn's solo on In My Own Dream on the Paul Butterfield album of the same name is one of my favorite pieces of music. Never heard anything like it before and pretty much since.
TRUE. IT WAS PRETTY GOOD
@@nwilczyn research? listen. geez. kenny garrett is a monster.
Love Kenny's work on the Pastorius cut here. You can see why Miles chose to collaborate with him - just immense talent all around.
Miles... such a legend, whatever he does is magical. Enjoyed Kenny Garrett and David.
RIP Miles and Don Alias...Lord what a band...
Keep coming back to this year after year Love it - RIP now for David 🙏
SIMPLY : INCREDIBLY RARE ATMOSPHERE !!!!
JUST AMAZING !
Strastapheric groove!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Helped birth the Cool and it never stopped
Love this, Miles, David Sanborn and Marcus Miller...
I really loved the way Miles dressed, he was always super slick. He will never be topped and he was one of a kind, a genius and human. He revolutionized Jazz like no other. In my book this is the best personelle in his late period.
+Derfunkmeister Miles' attire--- "Clean as a mother fucker" as he himself used to say. "...one of a kind, a genius..." Mos' def. Yeah..."He revolutionized jazz like no other." In fact, he changed the course of music...jazz, pop & rock.... several times. "GOD !!!" as Mr. Kovacs states below...? In MY book too..he is, was, will always be. He is...with all due respect to the angel Gabriel, The baddest motherfucker to have ever picked up a horn.
+Derfunkmeister I like his late period the best
+Lisa Fan That was what made him so great. Ppl point the period they like. He had so many...And most were remarkably different. How many artists can that be said about? Few..very few.
Richard Marshall Bowman
yeah the popular "artists" now just do whatever sells. whether any of it is any good or not, it's just about money. I'm sure half of them don't think their stuff is any good but they will never admit it when the money's rolling in.
Musical GENIUS!! Miles could play any note he heard with precision. He is indeed a LEGEND
Sanborn is known as one of the creators of so-called "smooth jazz." But in actuality he can play jazz at the highest level as witnessed hear with Miles, Kenny Garrett, etc. Night Music was an incredible show. I love looking at these past episodes.
Ewerb7 bassist marcus miller played a huge role in being responsible for sanborns commercial success due to his composing, producing and playing bass on sanborns albums from the 80s to the mid 90s
I'll never forget when Voyeur came out....incredible album
Andrew Austin, I always loved the first track off that album, "Let's Just Say Goodbye." Run for Cover is cool. I really liked the album, "As We Speak."
Sanbirn can play anything. Look at his discography on Wikipedia. Jazz of every variety, blues, rock, country, pop, Experimental, R&B...
sanborn is genius
I remember when this show was on. SO EPIC. And this was one of the best performances. Such a monster band.
RIP SANBORN RIP MILES
It is great to hear this music again and Miles will always be a musical great
David Sanborn’s Show was an Oasis in a T V wasteland of pop….not that pop is insignificant, but this the real deal- the evolution of jazz .
From a small town in the north of Argentina, in solitude, taking care of the pandemic.
January 2021, my soul enjoys this sample of the genius Miles. Thank you Maestro
Was lovely to hear Miles dispensing with the mute in later times, as his chops got stronger. And to hear that gorgeous open tone again.
Wow. So true. Thanks forr the insight. nAfter he removes the mute on the final tune, he hits some amazing brassy notes that later inspire the other two fellows on horns to career heights in creativity. Wow!
The band at its best. RIP Miles, Ricky, and Don.
RIP Miles Davis Ricky Wellman
Man, I miss this show! I remember it came on Sunday nights after the news. A pretty great way to end a chill weekend. Geez, 31 years ago!
I used to watch 'Night Music' every Saturday like clockwork. It was such a progressive show which was far ahead of it time. I was heartbroken went it went off air. I remember seeing this performance when it aired. Jazz and Music legends in your living room every Saturday!
Same here.
Yes, this was a Great show! Miss it.
Tim Debaney
Man I believe it was late 80s.....88 or 89?
I was 21 years old and my fellow classmates would stay up late and watch this show religiously!
I had the Tutu album in heavy rotation at the flat. God how the time has flown by!
There was a song I saw SunRa do, called 'Repetition,' I think, that traumatized me.
Call me MONKH! so you have any more info? that sounds interesting lmao. can't find anything with that name in youtube
Yes, jazz purists don't like Mile's 80's music. To me, it sounds like he was working on a new kind of melody that is shared and passed around the instruments. This sounds very three dimensional. It is haunting.
If you can’t do better….look at all the styles that seem presaged by what Miles was doing. House, Jungle, Bass & Drum….maybe it wasn’t his best but Miles never stopped growing and expressing himself. One thing was always true, he had the best bands and always had people that would become huge on their own. Young lions
Miles would always say, “stop stepping on everyone else’s line, say what you want to say and shut up.”
No one gets to the heart of it like Miles. What a musician!
Not a recent performance. Soooo smooth. Talent is timeless, clearly,
If the first 6:30 of this doesn't shut up the "late Miles sucks" crowd then nothing will. Absolutely smoking hot music that is still funky and exciting and danceable today. And kudos to Sanborn. Man I wish there was a show like this now. And his first solo, he's right there with it.
By coincidence, after my first listen I paused at 6:19 because "Nope, not ready for the next piece; I just wanna listen to that again"
They come to earth,bring joy and leave it with us forever,Miles did that ,Thank you Mr Davis
Incredible performances that prove Miles Davis is alive and the most brilliant musician ever!
Jazz is America’s indigenous art form... it has inspired more young people to play music, create art and understand freedom!
My favorite indigenous art form but hardly the first or only...think Native American...oh them, right.
indigenous means "originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native." so in a sense jazz is kind of the opposite of indigenous? i.e. 2 layers of displacement (colonisation and slavery...?) anyway I agree with what you're saying fundamentally, that it's a positive force :)
It is the only Classical art form created in America
You put it exactly perfect, and the artistry of a "Jazz" musician is amazing, I feel Jazz in my soul, in my bones, and deeper. "I Love Jazz" ♥️✌️
@@curtisyoung2912 America is the gaping infected asshole of the world.
This was a brilliant program - so naturally the network cancelled it after only a season or two.
Best music show with the best production ever. Like listening to a recording and yet live ..
i agree Fitz--the show was too good for mass consumption... it was kick ass...I didnt appreciate Sanborn til I got into this show.
Im surprised it lasted that long,its to sofisticated for your typical tv viewer, now a show like this would be too high brow even for PBS.
I loved the show with Djavan.
I spoke with David. He said he loved it but the sponsors kept pulling out.?????? Go figure that one! Ground breaking program with fantastic artist. 1 of a kind!
Miles... Such class, talent and charisma is everlasting to watch and enjoy... Of course I continue to watch such a maestro!
Mr pastorius est vraiment l'hommage le plus emouvant de la part de miles, j'adore ce morceau ! merci
This is fantastic, to play in such a band must be a dream of every musician
Every true musician...The one's in it for the love of playing...
@@godbluffvdgg Ahh, the No True Scotsman strikes again ... I love playing, but I couldn't fit in with a band like this if my life depended on it. So, no- it would not be a dream for me to play in such an ensemble. It would be a nightmare.
Does that make me a not-true musician? Couldn't it just mean that I am not a _jazz_ musician and don't aspire to be one no matter how much I admire these players?
@@BigBri550 ahahah! The exceptions don't disprove the rule...I wouldn't fit in either but; as a musician; I would be gobsmacked to play with those guys...:)...
@@godbluffvdgg Actually, exceptions _do_ disprove the rule when the rule is absolute.
Don't get me wrong: the guys in this video are fantastic. But I wouldn't even dream of trying to play with them just like I wouldn't dream of trying to suit up and go play in a professional ballgame league. However, that is not a measure of my personal veracity & integrity.
There are experts and their aficianados in every field of music around the globe (yes, there are other countries & cultures besides in the United States and Europe), but even at that, proficiency does not always equal enjoyment. I really enjoy playing even at my comparatively meager level of ability, but trying to keep up with heavy hitters like these guys would just be a stress, not a joy (not to mention Miles Davis had a reputation for being not a very nice person).
@@BigBri550 You're not to hip on Rhetoric, I see. It's not that every musician or even the musicians that like jazz "DREAM" of playing with guys like Miles, Or Chick or any of the other masters; it's more of a wish to be that good...
Most of us are just like you. Happy to be able to make some decent sounds out of our instruments...:)...Health, love and freedom to you and yours and may we all have many more years to enjoy this stuff..
I’m watching here in 2020! ... a lovely day full of Jazz players, from Wes Montgomery, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker and Oscar Peterson. A dream of a concert.
I was privileged enough to hear
Mr. Miles Davis live several times along with his rare Musicians.
His presence was awfully fascinating even when in silence.
While playing . .
There R no words 2 describe
Oh yeah! Jawdropping! I remember this show airing late Sunday nights where I lived. My mom used to let me stay up and watch it! What a mom! :)
I remember way back in the day David Sanborn had a "Jazz Show" syndicated on Radio and as a kid I picked it up on a shortwave radio. NBC also did a show with him... Miss those days
Dave Sanborn is one legend some so called music critics slept on. Sanborn hosted Sunday Night (later called Night Music) with Jools Holland for the 1st season. Just himself in the second season.
THAT WAS FIRE! When Mr. Davis is playing, even if I'm sitting in my chair, I'm at attention.
Was fortunate enough to see Miles live in Concord California at this time. He performed Tutu with his bright red horn…an amazing experience. I didn’t fully appreciate that at the time…since he passed soon after. Now I know what a special gift it was. RIP brother! You were the MAN. Love it, love it!
What incredibly talented performers...multi-talented...they CREATE MUSIC as you watch them play...true art of IMPROVISATION. HATs off to each and every one - Miles Davis, David Sanborn, Marcus Miller, solo guitar, drums, the flute / soprano / saxophone player...I don't think that CREATIVITY can be explained much less taught...It can be shown....DIrectors like Spike Lee should think of filming movies about the GREAT AMERICAN MUSICIANS, otherwise this ART might be lost...not saved for the future generation musicians. Just imagine if we could watch real-time movies about Mozart or Rachmaninoff. Absolutely great music. The synchronized improvisation (most of the instruments playing synched together) at 16:25 is impossibly beautiful...Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!!!
I'll never get beyond the beauty this man brought into the world.
Hannibal is such a bad-ass tune and Miles really lays this sucker out.
Nevermind, THIS is my favorite video on CZcams
I love miles music I really love his attitude. He was a talented goodlooking little man. Who made loads of sense!!!
Fantastic to see this full clip. "Mr. Pastorious" is a beautiful tune.
I love this era of Miles. I love the early era, too.
THIS IS SIMPLY AMAZING !! IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS THE TV FROM THOSE DAYS. SO MUCH RUBBISH NOW. IT'S SAD AND EVEN DISCOURAGING. FORTUNATELY WE CAN ENJOY THIS NOW THANKS TO THE INTERNET.
I loved this band and time period for Miles' music.
I was sitting here and sort of falling asleep till I turned on these Miles Davis videos. So awesome I can't put it into words. Genius!
Forget singing for your supper. These musicians jammed for theirs.
Hot Fire!!!!!!!!! Miles was WAY ahead of the times back then. WOW!! 😊
Everything Miles does is a Milestone!!
5:50!
“Mr. Pastorius” is so beautiful, so sublime.. impossible to put into words the magical mental space that this music puts me in. Just transports me to places I never knew existed, and I don't know if these places are within me or somewhere out there. I just hope one day I'll be there in some way that feels physical.
Juan check out Jurgen Ziewe stuff on CZcams. Not sure if it'll resonate but perhaps . All good things.
Beautiful comment
October 18, 1989, sounds like tomorrow!!!!!
Somehow this video showed up in my feed and I was blown away by that! I was actually moved to tears several times during his performance particularly during Mr Pistorius. Miles's sense of time, Melody and phrasing in the chords underneath everything he plays are just genius! I'm fortunate enough to have seen Miles on a number of occasions one of which was with the band that we're seeing here in this video. Just the chill bump kind of vibe that not many musicians are capable of elicitating from their audience.
And THAT T-O-N-E !!!
I saw Miles with this band in VT in 89'.....great show!
Kenny Garret’s Solo at 9:53 is just divine. The man is a god. He does whatever he wants whenever he wants however he wants. Pure genius. The perfect marriage of technical mastery and musical creativity.
what a groove...VIVA MILES AD INFINITU)))))
I always like Mr.David music because he strive for perfection like I do, on my learning and 🎶 listening experience!
This is the best I've heard Miles play during this whole period. Great dynamics within the band, synths in the back where they should be.
He does sound strong here.
Glad this entire performance is available on video. Thanks for sharing.
4shaw my man
Ooowweeeee Miles' bassist is sick with it!! Omg dude is on another level....
That's Marcus Miller!
And Foley on piccolo bass
Marcus Miller I believe.
Nach wie vor - unerreicht!
Großartig ! Ich bin dankbar für so einen Musiker, der die Musikwelt auf den Kopf gestellt hat.
Danke Miles!!!
Siempre Tras Tus Pasos y Todo lo que nos Enseñaste.Gracias.Federico Alberti.y a tus inmensos Músicos,Que te Amamos!!!
