What did you learn from Miles Davis?

[DC Cornelius]

Not that hard if you know what you’re talking about.

pamos my musician friend. Please don't talk to me like that! I've been a professional guitarist for well over 45 years== I DO know what I'm talking about, Sir.This is not punting my album== please listen to my Miss Steria album & tell me where 'you feel' I may have gone wrong or something I could change/ do differently.. & also I would love you to suggest to me where you feel there is some influence.
I'm not here to troll!! I honestly joined this forum for opinions & suggestions from other musicians... I don't know what else to say. Sorry if I come across as being a troll.

Okay.

This is not punting my album== please listen to my Terra Firma album & tell me where 'you feel' I may have gone wrong or something I could change/ do differently.. & also I would love you to suggest to me where you feel there is some influence.

I listened to the track you posted elsewhere.

Alrighty.

[DC Cornelius]

All JMHO and I'll admit that there is a slim chance that I'm insane and/or speaking from a parallel universe. You never know.

You are not insane Peter my friend Parallel universes have not yet been proved to exist. Just like no one has proved that I've been influenced by MD.. Humans are fascinating, aint they!?

[DC Cornelius]

Okay.

yep, ok...leave it at that then

Lately, I've been listening only to Miles' music for months.
I don't get bored of it at all and I'm discovering new things all the time.

Milestones: A Miles Davis Archive-on youtube is a brilliant collection of Milese's works - I recommend it.
It's amazing that nowadays you can have such access to recordings and concerts of your favorite jazz artists.
What do I learn from this listening?
The answer is simple – everything.

I still practice with some of the Kind of Blue tunes. Blue in Green rules..!!

[Hep To The Jive]

Yep, If I say I've sat & worked out hundreds, probably thousands of tracks over the years for work= am I being influenced? What!? With elton fekin john & the pet shop boys as examples!?!? ERRR NO.Still, what do I know? Apparently nothing= maybe I have & just don't realize it

yea but my original guitar heros are Tony Iommy, Angus Young, guys like that, who I'm influnced by very much and copied solos note for note, learning the language so to speak, that allow me to play Santana solos and feel more than comfortable. Even I might puke inside playing those songs haha.

But if I play a jazz gig I wouldn't be able to do it if I didn't study the jazz language, and it's all in the standards, that you actually need to know, a lot of them! Improvise over the changes, swing... You wouldn't get any work if you don't know standards, because other musicians would not take you seriously. Of course there's fusion, you could prolly get away with just declaring I only do my own shit? I don't know maybe you can tell more from your experience.

DC cornelius boasts of a recording of an outstanding jazz guitarist-Barney Kessel , which he listened to at the age of 8.
He omitted the fact that this outstanding guitarist had been playing jazz standards all his life.
This is some kind of disgrace or I am an idiot.

is it a good way to spent valueable lifetime piling on a stranger on the internet just because his musical values do not align with yours? you tell me.

[kris]

I'll answer like this:
I love Miles Davis' music... That's why it's worth it!!
Of course you are right ... it's such a joke.
ps.
Now, do you answer me, do you like Miles's work?

Is it a good and valuable way of spending ones time to repeatedly state ones negative opinion about a musician, knowing that it's contrary to the purpose of the thread and likely to irritate people?

I don't know the conversations between the musicians so well -I was more focused on how they play-sorry.

you're more interested what DC Cornelius has to say than what miles has to say??

Great video clip!!!
Thanks

[kris]

I am most interested in what they brought to the development of jazz.
After all, I'm a jazz guitarist and I've been playing jazz for over 50 years.
And so it happened that I know some of Miles' albums very well.
Is this bad?

[kris]

I was there in the audience ... A sensational concert about which I can't forget -1983 ....

You really can hold it against a guy like Miles? Some words? They were gangsters, drunks, junkies, having fist altercations, pulling knives on each other... street smart people not college nerds professors. Saying ''sad motherfucker'' is nothing. Just a family affair. Who cares!

"they", huh? is this the fox news version of jazz? just a bunch of junkies?

[Hep To The Jive]

haha no no i didn't say 'just'. Junkies who made music the world fell in love with. Not emphasize it either, just to show how strange to cancel a jazz musician for calling another jazz musician ''sad mf"

[supersoul]

yeah, i get it. but i also like eric dolphy and miles called him a "sad motherfucker". so there's that.

"That's got to be Eric Dolphy - nobody else could sound that bad! The next time I see him I'm going to step on his foot. You print that. I think he's ridiculous. He's a sad motherfucker."

It's hilarious in the same way that Noel and Liam Gallagher are hilarious. Never let the truth get in the way of a good quote.

Miles could be harsh. His autobiography isn't pretty, but it is funny, and it's a lesson in the myriad uses of the word "motherfucker."

But it's also showbiz, and Miles was creating a mystique. Supposedly he was really shy and awkward. He was also really embarassed by his voice, so he made up the Prince of Darkness character as a kind of mask. The one place he let himself be vulnerable was thru his music, and he managed to continually make new music for 40 years. That's amazing to me, and so I take some of the things he said with a grain of salt.

[djg]

just to show how strange to cancel a jazz musician for calling another jazz musician ''sad mf"

now you're just fantasizing. i mentioned the fact that he did and nothing further. obviously the irony of people defending miles from being dissed is lost on you. you have no bloody idea how i feel about that quote. if anything i find it funny. like monk asking for the bathroom as a reaction to oscar peterson.
