Once upon a time gods walked upon the Earth.
And they played the best jazz anyone ever played.

This band is still ahead of its time today.

every time I watch a Quintet performance from this era, I always come away being more impressed by Tony Williams and Ron Carter than anyone else on the stage. it's almost impossible to overstate how incredibly dynamic and potent they are. for all the legend surrounding Herbie or Wayne or Miles himself, they are simply not as physically impressive as the powerhouse workhorse energy and constant - seamless, ceaseless - creative flow which is radiating from Tony and Ron. with virtually no letting up from start to finish. just boundless enthusiasm and inspiration. if you've never played drums or double bass, I don't think you can imagine how difficult it is to maintain such frenetic pace or high tempo for one whole song, let alone a complete show. Williams own internal stamina could power entire cities... the size and strength in Carter's fingers would make the branches of a Redwood jealous... absolutely incredible

Tony Williams is only 20 years old here. Can you imagine?

若い頃、レコードでしかジャズを知ることができなかった。

こうして実際の映像を見ることができて、本当に嬉しい。
涙が出てくるほど嬉しい。
その場で実際に聞きたかった。

I have no words for the joy of seeing this in color. On behalf of the entire planet, THANK YOU.

[victormora]

And this is no studio recording. This the real thing!

[toughlikerocks]

RIP Miles, Tony, and Wayne. You were the greatest. I'm glad we still have Rob and Herbie still kickin' it and making music

I just read an interview with Pat Metheny talking about how this quintet and the Beatles were around for roughly the same time and between them created some of the greatest music ever.

[walterfoerderer]

Small side note, the band was introduced by the late Joachim-Ernst Behrendt, Behrendt was THE German "Jazzpabst" (Jazz Pope), a journalist who worked in radio and television, wrote several books on jazz and also worked as a jazz producer.

In just four short years, different music, new band, and outfits instead of suits. No one in American serious music grasped forward more than Miles Davis.

[llllloolllll]

Miles, please come back, someone invented Reggaeton and everything is not the same, please COME TO ME!

[gj]

May this be preserved for future generations to witness the apex of musical creativity and skill.

After watching this video on what would have been Miles' 95th birthday, I immediately had to put on my CD of 'Filles de Kilimanjaro'; I can't get enough of this Quintet.

[ronojames]

The all time best group at the top of their game.

[alansenzaki]

Saw this quintet twice back in the day. Nice to see them again in color. Sounds as fresh as it did 50 odd years later. Miles was one slick dude. I always checked out his threads. Nothing was off the rack. He must have made his personal taylor rich!

[cristianopazokunstmann]

Minute 14:13, wowwww Miles Davis playing a magnificent introduction for I Fall In Love Too Easily. What a sound, selection of notes, maximum elegance and quite impressive mastery of the tempo. Genius. Incredible, one of my favorite parts of the video.

[mrmike]

Man what a magnificent document of the greatest quartet in jazz history. IMO

[papi]

Herbie hancock is amazing on them keys

[spirwes]

Oh my god, there are pearls appearing. Superb. Young men in suits and ties play music from another world. It's a real pleasure for me to be able to watch now.
