Some Live Miles Davis for Your Thursday
It’s Thursday and I am traveling to St. Louis for a book signing. You know I love Miles Davis and will take an opportunity to talk about him. Well, today, I thought I would do some hunting around YouTube and see if I could find some classic Miles Davis live performances.
YouTube is great and you can find almost anything there. This is a performance from the old Steve Allen show and it shows the classic Miles Davis Quintet. These were some of the up and comers of the day and they played some of the best music with miles that are ever likely to hear. The band featured: Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams .
The song they are performing is from that album “Kind of Blue” that I rave about all the time too. These are not the folk who recorded that album, but they are the guys that made it their own and played some classic concerts.
So, while I travel via bus to St. Louis, you enjoy some classic live Miles Davis and his band, from a time when he was in his prime.
