I saw this band at the Royal Festival Hall London in '82 or '83 - it made my hairs stand on the back of my neck ... afterwards Herbie invited anyone from audience to come backstage if they wanted- the vibe was incredible.. Wynton was at an upright in one of the practise rooms off the main artist suite and was demonstrating stuff informally friendly on the piano like ' this is what Herbie plays for Bb7 altered' ... one of most amazing summer evenings of my life ... 40 years ago !

Miles made a comment back in the eighties, that that CURRENT TIME, was so different from the 60's, if you tried to go back and play THAT ERA'S MUSIC...the FEELING WOULD NOT BE THE SAME. MAke NEW MUSIC. For THIS DAY, and THIS TIME. Miles was CORRECT, as He frequently was speaking about MUSIC.

Tony is definitely one of the most eccentric jazz drummers ever. Who else would show up to acoustic jazz gig with a huge bright yellow kit in "rock" sizes with black dots, 2B sticks, heavy cymbals and a sleevless jumpsuit when the other guys are wearing suits :D Truly one of a kind player.

Whenever I see him, and whomever he's playing with, Tony Williams always knocks me out! Miles Davis was right when he said a talent like Tony's comes along every 50 years, ...actually it's been longer than that, tremendous!

I recorded this from PBS when it aired. I was 13 years old and played trumpet in band, and Wynton was one of my heroes. I didn't completely understand this music then, but I knew I loved what I heard. My Mom thought it was a great improvement over the Heavy Metal I'd been listening to up to that point. This one performance, which I revisited on that VHS tape for the rest of my life, changed my life. I began the journey back through the histories of these musicians, and discovered the Miles Davis albums of the 1960's (which was a whole OTHER world), with Hancock, Carter, and Williams on them, solely because of this one performance. Thank you, Rejean Emond, for posting this in its entirety! Pure fire.

Like a previous poster commented: it had been done 20 years earlier and it was authentic when Miles did the chromaticism thing on Miles Smiles. Nobody can argue that Wynton isn't technically proficient and a stellar trumpet player, but the chromaticism, the articulation, minus all the 1/2 valve glissando's are just trumpet bravado. And then in the 90's Wallace Roney came along and did the same thing. After one tune, it wears on you. No musical surprises. In '82, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Chet Baker, Art Farmer, Donald Byrd were all still around, playing in top form but Wynton got the media. Younger players in high school were taken by Wynton's trumpet bravado, but missed the lack of melodic genius that the fore mentioned players were still showcasing that was a style all their own After you get over that's Herbie, Ron and Tony, all playing great, the total package comes off as just a repeat.

OK I interviewed Branford once on that and that's not *quite* how it went down. He said that after a few stops on the tour, Ron Carter told him (I'm quoting from memory after many years here), "You know, it's really great that you idolize us and you have all our records. But we hired you to play, and so far you guys ain't playing shit." That kind of pushed them out of their shells.

I agree. I never heard him play with such a clear message. On the one hand his phrasing pays respect to Miles Davis, but he adds a clear penchant for classical precision. It works really well. Perhaps too many distractions of certain conquests and his beef with the former which attests to the need to conquer some kind of checklist. The former built a fortress of music itself.
