I didn't watch the whole thing but why is Miles Davis in the tags?

If this is too discordant and erratic, try : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVNAdwFFWjI

Thanks for posting this, really. I hadn't heard of Himori Uehara before and I'm off to buy everything she's ever done and send her envelopes full of my hair.

Self-fascinated wall of text time!

I write music and the more I learn and develop, the less music seems interesting, like the "magic" is slowly being eroded the more I understand composition. Classical, prog and jazz - really good jazz - are protected against that effect, and remain as amazing as they were the first time I ever heard them. Jazz is especially stimulating and fascinating, although I still love everything from Muse to King Crimson to Nobuo Uematsu to Miles Davis. Hiromi Uehara just makes me want to blow my fucking head off with 12 gauge.

why isnt this sifted?
this is MILES DAVIS for fucks sake!
*promote!

I witnessed this musically stillborn event live, the year before Davis' death-It was what finally got me out of the CWM Pavillion....thanks to Miles Davis, I dinna get stuck in traffic!

1. I like to think I make the internets a better place by submiting quality videos (because everyone needs an excuse for wasting all that time on one site)
2. sometimes I do fall for that "who'll submit this digg-ed video first" frenzy. it's that feeling you get when you beat Zifnab to the ZPR embed... not that I ever did, but it's the best example of what I'm trying to say. especially in the beginning when climbing the vs hierarchy was still fun (cause with each step you got new *toys, of course). but often it's not even intentional. I just happen to spend a lot of time browsing different video aggregators but I never post videos only because they're popular and I know they might get a lot of votes.
3. I post videos on topics I feel are not represented enough on the sift and/or stuff I like but nobody else seems to appreciate.
4. yes, I do. my themes are:
- flying (also an almost childish fascination with jet fighters)
- jazz musicians I really like
- good slovenian music
- other stuff that originates from my local background, geographicaly or otherwise; anything from music, cinema, arts to interesting sights... also a lot of Slavoj Žižek
5. not intentionaly. but then, maybe my videos do describe me better than my balkan english ever could (I feel awkward using english, that's why I usualy keep my comments short:)

I think that's Kenny Garrett with a flute, Foley (Joe McCreary) on guitar, David Sanborn on sax...


Methinks you're right. As well as Don Alias on percussion, I believe. If I'm not mistaken, this is taken from David Sanborn's earlier TV show called Night Music. He had a lot of prominent guests on his program, but I didn't know he managed to get Miles himself in there.

Choggster,

I just posted a video that I think belongs in your jazz channel, but I wanted to get your approval first since it is not your traditional Miles Davis kind of jazz.

Let me know what you think of where it should go.

The Tofu

fixed that for ya! listened to this soooo many times now.

In reply to this comment by plastiquemonkey:
this is called "all blues".

nice red embed.

I love this - but I prefer the Miles Davis version from Sketches of Spain. I saw the Miles version performed once in London with a full orchestra - incredible!
