Don’t play with Miles Davis…George Coleman & Cannonball Adderley Snoring (RARE RECORDINGS)
Some true pieces of history. First audio piece is from the "Seven Steps to Heaven" tune is "So Near, So Far". There seemed to be some confusion about the form on Miles' end. Miles clears it all right up.
Band Personnel:
Miles Davis - Trumpet
George Coleman - Tenor Sax
Victor Feldman - Piano (apologies for Herbie Hancock's face during his dialogue)
Ron Carter - Bass
Frank Butler - Drums (apologies again)
The second excerpt is from the ever famous Miles Davis Sextet recordings at 30th Street Columbia Studios, New York 1958.
This star studded cast of musicians would create arguably the greatest/most listened to jazz album of all time, "Kind of Blue". It appears that while attempting to record a take of "Stella by Starlight", Cannonball Adderley can't seem to stay awake while Miles plays the head. "Don't snore over my solo, Bitch."
Band Personnel:
Miles Davis - Trumpet
Cannonball Adderley - Alto Sax
John Coltrane - Tenor Sax
Bill Evans - Piano
Paul Chambers - Bass
Jimmy Cobb - Drums
Please Enjoy. And Like.

Shit man, for Miles that's pleasant small talk.
What I get from this is that Miles was actually funny as hell, fun to be around, and that he enjoyed the camaraderie of his band mates

@Andrea Smith do you speak from experience?
Those old time jazz guys were the best. Miles included. I was so lucky to have met many in my youth. They were true musical geniuses that wrote the equivalent of a Beethoven Symphony real time in front of you on stage. And in between sets would chat with you, share a drink with you as if they were just like anyone else. It could be Dizzy, Sonny, or any of the other jazz greats. They were our Bachs and Mozarts. I miss them all.
Take eight " you take eight"
I really feel connected when I hear their voices. That's why I look for albums with a lot of takes. There is always some conversation on them.
Cannonball Adderley was a great favourite of mine when I was a kid - 'cannonball' being a being a cleaned up version of 'cannibal' his original nickname reflecting his appetite for food of all kinds.
"Take eight"..."No,you take eight" Lmao

I wish any traces of studio stuff that was recorded for his sessions would be released as a box set “Miles walkin and talking - the complete Miles studio banter. Starting with “ I’ll play it and tell it to you later”

What I would give to have been there amongst these musicians. What a line up! Davis could say whatever the hell he liked to me and I would just smile to be there. Sounds like they`re just talking shit to each other. That`s totally normal in my circle of friends. If Miles was pissed off, we`d all know it. Or else he would walk out. How fortunate that this valuable, fly on the wall insight was kept. Thanks for posting this.

Miles voice gave me chills... I think it's coming from the earth's depths
I think that the 1st excerpt is from the Hollywood sessions with Victor Feldman on piano and Frank Butler on drums. I say that because you can clearly hear an English accent, i.e. Victor Feldman. Miles even say's 'Look here, Vic' at 1min50secs. Also, 'So Near, So Far' was composed by London jazz musicians Tony Crombie and Benny Green, and seeing the Vic Feldman had only recently moved to LA from London, it makes sense that it is him on the session.

Yes, definitely. He also tells Frank Butler, " don't put so much space in your stroke, man " . He must not have dug the way he was playing the cymbal beat. He's harsh with George ...."Is that method thinking?" Ouch! Wonder what he meant by " you ain't back in NY!! "

I think "you ain't back in NY" was a reply to George saying to Miles "you got a lot of nerve talking to me like that". Miles probably meant for it to kill George's ego or something like that
Angry Miles? He seemed like He was a good mood to me, comparatively speaking. "Man, fuck you we ain't in New York!"

Song is "Stella By Starlight." It's obvious when Davis starts to play the head and then they say it
A room full of Kings perfecting their art.
"Whole lot of nerve to talk to me like that" "Man, fuck you, man! You ain't back in New York! Shit." Damn.
East St. Louis state of mind - It's only anger if you hear shots fired.
“Is that method thinking?” 😂😂
"No I'm not, you are, for thinking I am" LOL
That's his get down , he was enjoying himself.shooting the breeze.
And then they play and I'm in heaven

Miles was addressing "Big" George Coleman. Both George and Jimmy Cobb are still playing gigs in NYC. If you're in town your best opportunity to catch either is at SMOKE on the upper west side of manhattan.

I wondered that too. Sounds kinda high, Coltrane's voice was probably too deep. Cannonball wouldn't be the one laughing. I don't know what PC's voice sounded like but he probably didn't have a mic next to his mouth, and that laugh is very clear and close sounding. So I suspect it was Cobb.
1:44 "Nigga, what the fuck you lookin' at? You think you the only one who can blow a damn horn!? If you stop sniffing that shit you could focus on more than a fly on the wall!"
