One of my favourite lecturers talking about one of my favourite musicians. Looking forward to listening 🧠🎺💚

this was really great. I have loved Miles Davis for over 45 years. I never understood why, Now I understand! It's always different and always exploring. For a few years I have believe that Bitches brew is an incredible social piece. You need to listen from the beginning to the end, after 15 minutes you're totally extatic, but anyone walking by at around 17 minutes screams "turn that junk off" Total perfection!

Thank you, Professor Wes Cecil. I agree, Miles Davis was a creative genius in Jazz, and he did affect many other musicians. His music was extraordinary, and the intellectual capacity to explore different sounds and to compose. What a trumpet player, and each album was amazing RIP 🙏 ❤Miles Davis Enormous visionary, but Bach was my composer. It all comes back to Bach. Musicians in all genera's I love. Thank you again, a wonderful tribute to Miles Davis you gave.❤ .

I love Batch!

In this new mod quickie now digital age we're in it's very refreshing to have quality info in this format. The art of just listening. The fact that you choose Miles & his cohorts means you must love m. The photo shows his genius. His paintings, etc are great. PBS has a good doc on MD.

An unexpected lecture but a welcome one! Love the content my friend, I've learned a lot. LOVED the Brave New World/1984 lecture and many others in the past

Excellent lecture, and I never knew much about Miles Davis.

Good lecture. Bob Dylan is like that in his huge catalog the musician s on stage with him play an entirely different set almost every gig. He is looking for a magic moment when what occurs will never happen again. Which is living to the max. Not letting the past take away from experience the now to the fullest. I saw Miles once at the Hollywood bowl on The Man With The Horn Lp tour.

nice very good, so informativ. Miles Davis is the only ONE. I have been listening to him for years. and still hope the Album with Larry Coryell and Prince will see the servers. Thanks

You’re the best. I grew up with Miles Davis so this was a walk down memory lane. A very intelligent one!

I've been listening and enjoying your philosophy lectures for years, but did not know you were a jazz enthusiast. More please!

B… Brew reminds me of The Liquid Tension Experiment :)

Yea, his autobiography pretty much tells it all. And it’s icing on the cake when you have the albums to listen to align with the book. Good breakdown of the genius. But Jazz fusion doesn’t happen until his albums In A Silent Way & Bitches Brew in 1969. Miles second great quintet from 1964-1968 was not fusion.

This was very unexpected and unexpectedly enjoyable

Good evening from France, Wes

As for jazz artists not being considered a fine art. In the world of hiphop James Yancey was raised with a rich musical history that gave hiphop complexity.

Great now do clipping Im kidding you would hate it

When are true, factual and detailed documentaries going to be made? Big deal, so Miles and Gil simply met, simply clicked, simply booked musicians, simply booked a studio and simply recorded? That is so Humpty Dumpty-like! Shades of Chick's later composition, one of his many, and others' airy-fairy-tale titles. How about digging and delving into the money trail? Who was behind the two? Who was paying? What was the deal? Were the musicians their choices or the record company's? Instead of simply regurgitating the Downbeat Chronicles.

Have you ever heard of Ken Burns?

The average master musician influences or founds 2.87 artistic movements in their career. This is false. Miles Davis, who founded 11.5 without stopping to get rich, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Sun Ra, Mingus, Monk, Ellington , Dolphy, Shepp these to me are the pinnacle of jazz. Miles always bored me tbh.
