Thank God someone filmed this, recorded this, and that we can go online and watch it in 2018 from anywhere in the world. We're so lucky, I pray the next generations experience even greater gifts that these.
Well put !
This is the Final and Last Generation!
After listening to the album We Like it here by Snarky Puppy, i can assure you that our generation is taking good care of jazz 💯
What a great way of putting it. From my own experience, people I talk to don’t understand or have any desires to understand Jazz music of any genre it’s like in the modern world it’s received bad press from many ignorant journalists. Hopefully the tide will turn. I am a presenter on a local radio station and will always slip the odd gem in when I get the chance. People need educating. This music is unique and it’s great how the solos are different each time but the tune is recognisable. That’s what’s great with Jazz.
You has Jazz!!
Amen
"I don't often take smoke breaks, but when I do them, I do them in the middle of the coolest song ever."--Miles

Coltrane: "When I start playing I don't know how to stop."
Miles: "I'll tell you how to stop. Take the horn out 'cha mouth."
+John Smithwick lol yea because Coltrane never stops playing
2023 and still one of the best jazz recordings ever produced
My guy 👌👌
Amen
Without a doubt...GENIUS!
truth
Along with Dave Brubeck 😉🇬🇧
isn't this just one of the coolest videos of all time, what happened to this level of cool
Omg I found you, and yes This is so cool
Glyphosate and atrazine
As a kid in the 90s I first heard this and thought this is what adulthood sounded like
great comment!!!!:):):)
Yes!
You and I both!
Born in 73' I'm just getting to the adult stage.......... I guess?
I'm totally impressed with that statement. Dude, you got it. You really got it.
Saw Miles at The Village Gate NYC in 1968.
Richard Pryor was the opening act.
$3.50 cover.
One drink minimum.
Being old has it's advantages

Zax Buzz How cool!
That’s amazing
Well put!
Never old. A very special witness :)
how long was Miles’ set ?
Thank GOD this piece of musical history was filmed .
Amen
God didn't invent music lol
Was the devil according to religion
@@juliandarch9278Yes, He did. Everything comes from God, even our skills.
@@juliandarch9278then why is music played in churches☠️
Coltrane is the hot shot, but I love Miles Davis insane control and his subtlety and his TONE. It reaches outside of jazz.
Miles never overplayed. Miles never felt the need to prove himself to anyone by playing fast, though obviously he could. He just laid back in the pocket and said what he wanted to say. Clearly, concisely and without pretense. For me this is what a true Master does. He gets his point across so that anyone can understand...
True. Even though he played with a laid back pace, his Solo is on point. Some people need to play fast to show off, but Miles need not. It's like he was conversing straight "to the point". No need for fancy words or something. Straight class.
💯💯
@@yosuapangaribuan5057 yeah. Thats kinda the meaning of the song. From what I understand he saw all the super fast intricate melodies of the Jazz hits at the time and decided to write a song with a 4 note melody, and sound completely badass anyway.
You can see it in the music where the bass plays a complicated rhythm and then the melody responds with two notes that mimic a person saying “so what” as if it is calling into question the purpose of the complicatedness of the bass line, symbolic for Jazz at the time.
Alright, geek out over, move along.
well said
...check out his bebop stuff before he went cool or modal. Miles did 'overplay'.

In my car because I can't sleep. It's 3:15am and while I sit in suburban Philadelphia, I watch this video. I've heard this number at least 10,000 times in my life, but it's nothing sweeter than this video footage right here. Phenomenal capture and so happy, u can come here anytime to watch. Thank you.
I'm listening at 9 in the morning,and while it's still great,I have to agree it's much better late at night when everyone is asleep. 😴
Miles 6 that space in a melody is strong as complexity.
Where you parked?on me way!🇬🇧
I'm sitting by the back bay of Biloxi and just play this for my dad. He passed four years ago today. So I'm sending this out to my dad. He loved jazz so much. I him so much .
I’m 30 years old, born in ‘92. I try to tell my students at the high school I work at, that THIS IS MUSIC. Nothing like some Miles Davis n Coltrane to start my day with some coffee the smell of morning dew. 🤧🤧 That.. is LIFE.
in my school only i listen to miles and john
Now i really want to be your student
everything is music.....don't misguide your students
@@ashwin87music 'THIS' is music doesnt mean or imply that there is no other type of music
Man.. are you telling me some of my hs teachers back in the day were just 30-something year olds? They seemed ancient to me back then...
I've been trying to quit smoking so I thought I would listen to some cool jazz...who has a light?
Hi
,😀 I know that feeling. I have been 3 weeks without smoking
Right?
I got the light, you got the cig?
Stop
I'm a 12 year old drummer and asked my teacher to teach me jazz and this is the first jazz song I learned. So glad I asked him. This song is just amazing and I can listen to it for hours.
I fell in love with jazz as a five year old boy at a time when jazz was waning in.popularity back in 1969. The first jazz album I remember listening too was Wes Montgomery's A Day in the Life.
Ol Dee I don’t even know what I’m doing here, I’m a progressive metal guitarist. But this music is pretty frickin awesome
@@danielc9606 prog metal and jazz sometimes going hand by hand. Just mention Alarum and Atheist.
:)
i like how everyone here is just ignoring the hater that probably has two accounts to like his own comments
Man, Coltrane's solo here is just amazing, he plays so fast but at the same time is so coherent and emotional, the timing is right, and the tone is fucking sweet. It contrasts with Miles' part well too.
The gospel of John
Emotional?
@@kevinstewart3029 ❤❤
@@shavodhall1169 yes, he means it is charged with emotion... it makes you feel a lot of emotions
Eu tava procurando esse comentário, alguém falando do Coltrane
I was looking for this comment, someone talking about Coltrane
Thank you very much
The magnificent Miles Davis and the spectacular John Coltrane, ladies and gentlemen! It doesn't get any better! Two icons!! Incredible! R.I.P. to both!
You know you've reached God status when you can just casually smoke a cig while Coltrane is soloing
Jack Sanner ♥️❤️❤️
It's true. Nobody but Miles could get away with that.
No human will ever reach God status I don't care who is playing
grimble like arturo
yes... a "cigarette"
at 1:18 Coltrane is like: Ok I better get my shit ready to follow that. And of course he does.
Trane was thinking of a masterplan
No doubt he had his own "plan" and followed through with it. My original observation and comment wasn't meant to suggest otherwise. Trane was listening to Miles and the video captures a moment of respect. A moment in time where you realize you have to follow greatness and he responds with greatness.
Two musical geniuses at work
+Lane Guthrie hahaha :)
+C Lawson :)
We got to be grateful to have this gem accessible in the palm of our hands.

You can say cool or say Miles. The definition is the same.
Muito legal 👍🏻
A Miles Davis fan here too.
Yes
yes!!! for me ,togheter with marcello mastroianni, miles was the coolest person ever , the definition of cool

R.I.P. Miles Davis
(1926-1991)
That was my Mam's lifespan to the the exact years. This brilliant track should have been her final curtain song.
The way Coltrane emerged gives me chills every time I listen to this PERFECT song!! Timeless
Yasssss! 🎷❤
That tone unmistakable... the gospel of John
Trance was all over this his solo was transcendent some real Holy Ghost sheet! 🤘🏾😆😃
Heavenly
amazing description of it. I got chills too
1:42 This shot goes way too hard. With the dude in the back smoking as Miles lays out some of the tastiest tunes you'll ever hear
At the age of 76 I now realize why these guys are immortal. They are actually honest to God musicians.
BOB ..ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!
@@alessandrogrisoni4918 So true on that.........
What a great comment... this craft requires commitment/ discipline/ and love
Absolutely! This music really brings people up, not down, like this God awful millennial, whiney, depressing, so-called music.
Smoking while Coltrane does his thing. Textbook definition of badass.
Alfredo Bullen ..and he was grooving in place while he stood.
Miles died at the age of 65 from respiratory failure, so I would say more the definition of bad lungs than badass. Miles was a badass, but his smoking sure as hell wasn't the reason.
Coltrane absolutely SHREDS here
...super rude...bad for his health??? Wtf? This video is straight murder and you’re talking health concerns 😂
@Gideon October I'm not a big fan of him but he earned this status for sure. He was an innovator and had this special cool demeanor
This is the kind of song that makes you wanna go to a bar, order scotch and smoke cigarretes while you think about your life while the bartender cleans a glass for the millionth time.
😂 true tho...❤
Absolutely. See you there. Makers Mark and a Marlborough red please.
c i g a r e t t e s
This is my first time listening to jazz.I now understand what my wife feels. I now feel it too🎉😮😊
Welcome to heaven my friend
Congrat's , birdie found ya way home ♡
It is March 2020 who is still jammin to this classic?
This is eternal, don't bother. The world may be going down, and it will be cool if this is playing somewhere.
James Brown's musical director shared So What was the key to Cold Sweat. Wow. Myles gifted The King. A classic that will be in heaven.
This will never die
I am.....
Awesome!
Miles and Trane. Two of the coolest humans to ever walk the planet!
Yes,Yes,Yes, and Yes...how it would be fantastic to observe and hear their collaboration in this era...
seeing them together is like a glitch in history
Don't forget to add Monk.
🐐 🐐 of JAZZ
back when music was music
I queued for return tickets in London in 1985 and the queue was more than worth it. I got to see Miles Davis live from a box seat. Unforgotten to this day and deep in my heart.
You had an experience like no other....
Good to see there's still a lot of passion for good jazz music!!!
Always will be !
+SLRok how can you hate songs like this one? ;)
GhostKiller Games it's CZcams people will find a way to hate anything lol.
SLRok that's unfortunate :/
+SLRok Jazz "music" will never be good.
My older brother was named after miles Davis.. my dad played drums for nearly 70 years.... great jazz drummer taking me to many gigs x we lost our dad in April.. just two weeks ago me and my brother heard this playing in the hilton where we were staying .. my brother miles said " it's dad Joe he giving us a sign " my dad's favourite track of all time xx
Sorry for loss
Great story!
May your sorrows pass quickly....
Be prepared to hear this song a good few times then. Trust me, he'll probably want you to hear this until the day you die! Not that I'd mind, since it's such a good tune. And sorry for your loss
MIGHTY JOE WHITE ??? ........with a unique and greatest way . Respect !
To think...this was from a half hour special on CBS, featuring Miles and company. Airing on national network TV, circa 1959. Amazing.
This song and entire album NEVER gets old. Every time I listen to it, it sounds fresh. This entire band is amazing.
Never. This is probably one of the most important and significant works of the 20th century. It's revolutionary today, almost seventy years later.
Masterpiece
@@abumichal you serious?
@@abdullahbhinder9023 yes
@@abumichal to each their own. It's mostly forgotten. Having touched very few people today and will be wiped from memory a few decades on.
@@abdullahbhinder9023 This is NOT the session for the LP, it is from a live TV broadcast by most of the same musicians. The pianist is NOT Bill Evans, who played on the original session. But both versions of this band DID, indeed, change music, and was one of the great bands in jazz history, and Miles and Bill Evans were its two most important members.
The older jazz gets and the more it enters history, the more clear it is what an essential bridge this music is between the past and what we think of as "modernity." Not only modern music, but modern culture, what began to arise in the middle of the 20th century and is on overdrive today. Seminal stuff here.
speak on it
The average person doesn’t realise how influential the modal framework has been on all of music. Lots of musicians nowadays don’t even know they’re using it
Can you explain how this is a bridge?
@@valentinarmenta4982 This is one of the songs responsible for making a sub-genre of Jazz called Modal Jazz really popular. Modal Jazz ofc gave importance to musical modes and the chords that were derived from them. Almost all songs today use modes and this song in a way is to be credited for it.
@@shravanranjeeth2135 Bebop had been a lot busier, with everyone playing lots of notes. By comparison, these modal songs had much more space between chordal changes, and gave the soloist more room to pick and choose notes more sparsely, within a context of mood and emotional depth.
Coltrane's solo is so intense, it contrasts well against such a simple melody that seems to have just 2 musical notes. I liked Miles's musical ideas during this period.
Check out what he plays on Dark Magus. Like the tune What I Say.
Right? And right from the very first note when he enters and then he continues right this was so amazing as well
Holy cow that's Coltrane.
Even before he starts playing, it's like the voice of his God is speaking to him . . .so much an instrument of pure jazz.
Don't forget the bass is part of the melody
Considering Miles just got out of heroin abuse a few years prior and immediately got a contract at Columbia Records, releasing this masterpiece is just another testament to what an amazing artist Miles truly was. An inspiration for generations.
Most definitely one of the greatest.
Everone was a shooter back then Parker and what l found out recently and may surprise you Marilyn Monroe; l kid you not...Yeap Everybody...
I’m honored to have played Milestones with Jimmy Cobb in New York!
This is golden, everyone is awesome, but John Coltrane, in his short solo, is amazing. So precise.

I can not believe how miles and some others were talking whilst John was playing!
@@ranakeen9884 Maybe because they played together for years at this point and in Miles’s mind Coltrane was not a deity as jazz fans today see him. Back then he was just a great tenor sax player who was Miles’s sideman before going on to be a significant band leader himself!
@@jibsmokestack1 yeah. You're right. I imagine the conversation was: "man! That cat can blow!" And miles says something like "yeah and that's why I am here."
So precise, so expressive. Coltrane really shined here. Couldn’t agree more
Having the blessing of live footage of Coltrane playing is like having footage of Beethoven playing the piano or conducting a symphony...a true joy.
John's style is unteachable, either you have it or you don't. The notes he plays are mystical and refreshing to hear.
The gospel of John... it's about the spirit of a man...
Because he's an individual, he had his influences but worked incredibly hard on his own style, ideas, concepts. They say no one practiced more than him. Add that to his natural ability, humility and you get a great musician and man
The first time I heard this and the Kind of Blue album I literally cried. It hit me hard. I can't even describe the sounds I heard. I had never felt this way about any music.
It's not that bad 😉
Hello Cathy how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
I remember hearing it back in the sixties,and even as a little boy I knew it was cool! Still love it!
haha i love the bit where coltrane takes over and you catch a glance of miles just having a quick smoke in the corner
3:09
thats awesome! haha
TheMojoTribe These are seriously cool cats
The coolest 9 minutes EVER!!!
I saw Miles Davis in Washington D.C. in 1976 when I was 15. I took my stepbrother, a virtuoso classical pianist, to hear him. Miles played with his back to the audience
Why?
@@nelsonbi2008 Miles Davis was someone I really wanted to hear and I thought my step brother would find it interesting
This is the best definition of Jazz on the planet!! This is Jazz, Jazz is this!!
This is what cool looks and sounds like, each musician giving 'space' to each other's creativity. The epitome of true cool. Eternal.
Yes 🙌🏽
Reminds me of the movie collateral. "Cool"
The best definition of cool...,
Can a movie ever be this cool? Has there a movie been this cool?
Amén!
One of the best pieces of music humanity has produced!
They should have put it in Voyager
Ivar...ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!
I wished it would never end.
So few minimalists today that let the music speak for itself. No lights, costumes, bombs, trapeze stuff just a few guys defining time in their own creative way replete with volume dynamics, manipulation of tempo and tone; its a woven tapestry for all to listen and study. This tune always makes me think.
Coltrane's solo sounds like a conversation within a conversation within.....
trance drove miles crazy with his searching seating solos...but he loved it
one of a kind on sax. kinda like Jaco was, and Amy W.
so what ?
heroin rocks!!!
Jazz is merely the Blues on heroin.
There's still only one word to describe this . . . Cool . . . .
Miles Davis is "cool" personified. Look up "Cool" in the dictionary....any dictionary....an' you'll see a picture of Miles.
So Miles.
thats 2 words!
Mcqeen
So what...?
Wynton Kelly on keys shows great restraint by not trying to pick up on Coltrane's intensity but rather brings a smooth and easy break between Coltrane and Miles. It gives the listener a bit of a breather with simple but pleasing phrasing that's like a palette cleanser after the rush of Coltrane's intensity so that the listener doesn't get exhausted trying to keep up with the cascades of notes from 'Trane and Miles. Really artful display of less is more by Kelly.
Grew up listening to this song as a kid. My father knew what he was doing when he listened to jazz without his earphones to give us some culture and introduce us to great music.
R.I.P. Jimmy Cobb; 20-01-1929 - 24-05-2020!
Was listening to this, cause, it's Miles's 🎂 today, and I read your comment. RIP Jimmy Cobb. You left us a rich legacy🌹🙏🌹
He was the last of the legendary sextet on that amazing album. Sorry to hear of his passing.
Damn.
And I love the fact that Jimmy was out there giving drum clinics right up to age 90!
La BUENA Musica amigo, produce en el ser humano efectos extraordinarios !!!! y, tambien EDUCA tu oido y GUSTO Musical. Yo soy fanatico del genero JAZZ y la CLASICA de los Grandes Maestros que incluye la musica LIRICA...saludos desde Peru...
When I was a Black little girl back in the 60's and mama would have music like this blasting on her newly aquired RCA Sterio record player it would hurt my ears and boggle my mind that she would play this crazy waaay-out shit that seemed so out of step with the times- why couldn't she groove to Smokey Robinson or Aretha Franklin or James Brown like everyone else i knew?!! And then she'd rub it in by smiling a huge smile on her face while snapping her fingers to this crazy music...I remember looking up into mama’s 22yrs young face and with a puzzled look on my 8yrs face exclaiming, "You're serious huh? You really like this stuff huh (hoping she'd realize she had momentarily lost her mind again) smile and continue her gyrations in complete confidence while saying, "Yeah, I love it!" I felt personally insulted.
I learned later in life while studying music in on of music classes at the University of Southern California that music mama listen to was as classy and jazzy as it gets and that Miles Dewey Davis was THE #1 JAZZ ARTIST OF ALL TIME. I been lovin this shit in a mad crazy way and threw in some Art Blakey, and Wes Montgomery to boot ~_~♡
Uh. She had you when she was 14?
One of my earliest memories in life - waking up in a Sunday morning and Miles playing loud on my father's stereo in the living room...
Love from Athens, Greece!
Miles was a game changer for sure! I never saw him but I did see Art Blakey in DC. Amazing.
@johnmartlewidk kinda messed up
Thank you for a lovely story. You almost brought me to tears.😧
He really was very special. I have been a fan for many years and still get great pleasure from listening (and now of course viewing) to Miles. Kind regards to all his fans from an 87 year old Englishman. March, 2023.
Thank you, dear old 'cousin'...here in New Mexico, we love Miles, too. Leslie Piper(84)

Biggest brain - This video is entirely Blue Red and Green
@@bartsola8349 I think about that every time I watch a video
So what? It's simply brilliant jazz!
Coltrane is blowing minds!! Miles is just so cool in his approach to melody! I love how each solo piece from each band member takes you on a journey. No one is really better than anybody else, just different, and it's such a trip to see how people translate their emotion into music. Everyone has a story to tell!
Kind of Blue was my first introduction to jazz.
Opened a new world to me.
...it never gets old. Miles Davis delivers about the most perfect solo there is to start this gem of a performance. And then John Coltrane takes flight, masterful. This piece of film is a national treasure, or should be. The greatest art form this country ever produced, with two of it's greatest practitioners in top form.
3:40 Best part, easily. The Trombone player takes his eyes off the ground and looks over at Coltrane in admiration, the tall guy with the glasses shows the slightest smirk, and Miles looks over to John and gasps in disbelief at what he just heard. Coltrane was a genius!
I hate when people do this. I checked this moment out and NONE of this happens. It doesn’t matter - Coltrane is a genius anyway. But why would you write this. I know why, because you are mentally incapacitated
@@ineedtostopwatchingyoutube5211 Are you fucking blind?!
to me it kind of looks like he just opened his mouth to say something to the guy next to him, at least he didn’t have his eyes wide in surprise…
not trying to take anything away from John Coltrane just calling it like I see it
The tall guy with the glasses is my late Uncle Bill Elton. I was two years old in 1959 didn’t become aware of this video until about four years ago. He said they told all the white guys to smoke if you got ‘em to try to make them look cool for the video
The best jazz instrumental composition ever
Miles Davis was a musical genius
So was Trane, Wynton and Paul Cambers. Cobb wasn’t a genius but a great drummer just below that level. The drummer he replaced in the band Philly Joe Jones and the drummer who succeeded him Tony Williams were both geniuses. Plenty of geniuses in jazz at that time across multiple groups!
how?

The great Jimmy Cobb, one of the best drummers ever. Played what was exactly perfect for the song. I've listened to this song on Kind of Blue hundreds of times -- and what I always hear is Jimmy playing that most lilting swing of all time.
In the liner notes for Kind Of Blue Cobb is quoted as saying "It [Kind Of Blue] must have been made in heaven." My guess is he's referring to the fact that there was basically no rehearsal for the album and none of the artists had performed any of the songs previous to recording (hard thing to do since Miles Davis had basically only composed them just hours before). All the songs are basically a first take and done and all the parts are pretty much improvised on the spot. Pretty amazing, really, and a true testament to the incredible genius of the players.
@@bghoody5665 I'm no expert but I believe this was rather common in the bop era. I read that Money Jungle (another legendary album IMHO) was the same thing - Monk just got the scribbles before recording, and the Duke just started playing.
You can her the instruments say “so what” amazing 💯

I love jazz from this time in history. Eorll Garner, Red Garland, Dave Brubeck, Vince Garaldi and so many others are just the best.
Everything about this performance screams COOL. Nobody is smiling, everyone is laidback but in sync. And the stamp of coolness was when Miles puts his fingers to his lips and just walks off after he plays the last chorus…masters at work!!
They blow a jazz cigarette during Coltrane's solo. On national Tv live in the late 50's. Hippest shit I ever saw.
same for miles
Wayne Shorter is my main man though. Him and James moody.
The Birth of Cool.
You can't help but light a cigarette or two with this song. Winter night Jazz kind of stuff.
So true and I don't even smoke. Makes you want to smoke though, just for the cool. haha
I'm here because I watched "Door Does Impression of Miles Davis"
I just watched it too. CZcams algorithm really love showing us something unpredictable,huh?
Me too!😃
The guy is a legend
Hahaha same!
+1, He is performing better then the door tho
So what? Its all freedom. I grew up with music. Songs we write when you’re young and full of the cosmic energy of life. As we get older our bodies quickly evolve to the timing mixture. When our soul threads the universe and touches a piece of a mysterious substance of time.
Miles is one of a kind , Love Miles , Dizzy , Louis and Chet
The seminal example of modal jazz.
I don't own a refrigerator, I just play this song to my food

Oh yeah Man!
That's cool ... ❄
The Kind of Blue LP still gives me chills. This live performance is wonderful.
From the album “Kind of Blue”. The best selling jazz LP ever! And rightly so!
I love how Miles walks out of the camera's shot and let's Paul Chambers and his double bass take centre stage. Jimmy Cobb's brushwork is sublime.
No BS, no trying to play better than the other guy, no trying to show how great you are ... just taking your turn to say what what you have to say within the context of the theme, simple, clear, unadorned, beautiful and clear ... amazing, genius ... I remember growing up in LA, listening to a jazz radio station called KBCA listing to cats like Miles, Jimmy Smith, Dexter Gorden, Gabor Szabo, Wes Montgomery, Coltrane ... hearing their genius play through the quiet stilness of my bedroom at night ...lucky me!
Mario Pookster the legends you have listed, give me goosebumps listening to them, a lost era of real musicians I wish we still had. When people where human and gave us gifts on a simple day where we enjoyed meaningful acts, Cooking, having a drink, a cigar, talking about what drives us to signify the simple things we wish others could relate to that brings us together. I love jazz so much I believe jazz is life.
I first heard Miles while volunteering at my college radio station. Cool stuff. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music
Lucky you, indeed.
Most say it has all deteriorated due to overpopulation, and I can see that is a major factor, but of course, greed and lust for power was always lurking there in any time of ease and prosperity. When the pressure and heat are up like present times, the dross rises to the surface, then the status quo is asserted more vigorously by the stratas of elites, and the common folk are driven into corners by economics, and socially all the simple enjoyments often get buried in the wake of meaningless destruction that follows useless pupose. Get my drift Jason Smith? Just a lot more difficult, and sometimes impossible to relax and think, and enjoy simple things I guess.
Sorry, I forgot to say that you are right! JAZZ IS LIFE. a philosophy of creative co operation brother, so I am swinging with the time and rhythm like you, and we share the love that these inspiring souls still play for us. We bop, and jive, and swing, and lay back to enjoy what COOL really means.
Arguably the best song written and performed!!!
I just said the same thing....
I now use this album as a reference point for every other jazz album I listen to. I keep coming back like a good smoke.
Miles "I invented cool" Davis
Miles “I invented most of jazz tendencies” Davis
Miles " angry black man with a bad attitude and prejudice " Davis
@@martinkerker1190 no
@@martinkerker1190 He used to release his stress by going to France and bang a white French chick along the way and probably much more. I guess he wasn't that prejudice 🤷🏾♂️
El-Nazr McDowell bad and rude language 😡 !! He was actually in love with her but they didn’t get married because of the racist atmosphere at this time, her name was Juliette Greco and she died last September she was 93 ( rip ).
My mom told me that my father was playing this when I came home from the hospital at 3 days old. I still listen to it about three times a week. Hell yeah, Miles! No one will ever be as cool.
Sweet. We were listening to Debussy when my son was 5 days old and he almost rolled over to the radio to touch the music 🎵🎶🎵💘💖🤟
These cats are so cool. They defined what cool was at that time. "So What" has held up well into the 21st century.
Coltrane's solo is mesmerizing!!
That John Coltrane solo is one the best solos I’ve ever heard in my life. One of my favourite Jazz songs ever. I can watch this every year 😢😢😢😢❤️
Me too dude. It's so pure
Check out Dexter Gordon's solo in End Of A Love Affair after he plays the opening. And Cannonball Adderley's Love For Sale.
@@sclogse1 just heard Cannonball Adderley’s solo in Love for sale, it was excellent, while, I haven’t been able to find the other song where Dexter Gordon solo’ed, however, none can compare to how soulful and spiritual John Coltrane’s solo is on So What, it just takes you places man 😢.
john coltrane splits miles play perfect
Whenever I feel that the world is messed up I find my way to this song.
Sweet.
+embe1 I can see and Hear why.
+embe1 So true :)
+Gewooneenliefhebber Kind of true
+embe1 That's cause you have good taste! (The rest of the world is invited too.)
This was the very first Miles Davis song I ever heard. It has been a long and wonderful journey exploring his music ever since that day long ago.
Some folks don't like Miles,
I say So What!
Classic never to be forgotten 🎶🎺🔥
You get it
Coltrane makes Miles drop his "Cool",for a split-second,lol 3:40-3:42,his facial expression is priceless.Two Masters of their craft.Peace
Well yea! You can only stay cool for so long in the face of something so gorgous.
I've watched this a million times and never noticed Mile's 'smile' after Coltrane hit those arpeggios. I was too busy checking the trombonist response. Now, you just gave me another reason to watch a few more thousand times:)
When you listen to Miles, and you feel like you know and understand him. The feel is just crazy, you start crafting better in your own field. By him being himself he allows you to be your best self too.
every note, every inflection, every touch, means something. So much more than just sound! Its still hear today. But the greats are... Great!!!
Every time I hear this I just can’t believe how fantastic it is…
This is my first time and I think it's completely overrated. There's no reason why I would ever want to listen to it again.
@@bw2937
That is so sad to hear… My condolences.
@@bw2937 same here. I don't know who these artists are ,it's fine to listen to , but nothing great or special about it.
