    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.

    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 Z.

    So what? It's simply brilliant jazz!
  • We got to be grateful to have this gem accessible in the palm of our hands.

    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...

    at 1:18 Coltrane is like: Ok I better get my shit ready to follow that. And of course he does.
  • @raulsouza5866
    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 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!
  • @hut66au
    This is golden, everyone is awesome, but John Coltrane, in his short solo, is amazing. So precise.

    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.
  • The way Coltrane emerged gives me chills every time I listen to this PERFECT song!! Timeless
  • @boblocke7951
    Miles and Trane. Two of the coolest humans to ever walk the planet!

    At the age of 76 I now realize why these guys are immortal. They are actually honest to God musicians.

    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.
