umbertino Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 From "Amandla" ("power" in one of S.African languages) 1989 Track composed by keyboardist George Duke-RIP who used to play w Frank Zappa earlier...... I just love it ( do love most Davis material actually...Old and more recent) Never got to see him in concert unfortunately.....Once I just missed him for a couple of days ( I was abroad and he played in my area....I did return only 2 days later) Miles started out as a classic acoustic jazz ensemble musician and leader.....Then he became one of the first and best representives of electric jazz ( for which he got criticized mercilessly by jazz purists) I personally love his acoustic stage and also his electric one....Hat off to one of the most important musicians of the 20th century Album cover by M.Davis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 Beautiful track Miles' tribute to bass player Jaco Pastorius-RIP ( deemed as best electric bass player in the world for some time....) who played for a certain period with Weather Report in albums and live concerts Was lucky enough to see him in 1986 here in Italy.... but not with Weather Report ( which I had already seen anyway the year before...Bassist was Alphonso Johnson...Another stunning bass-player).... Impressive in the least.....He got killed in 1987 unfortunately ... I re-posted maybe 6 / 7 months ago an interesting doc about him containing various testimonials ( mainly drummer Peter Erskine and bassist Marcus Miller) Miles and Jaco never played together as far as I know ( I might be wrong on this one though...)...But Miles had always great bassists.....Marcus Miller etc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaco_Pastorius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
