Not normally a big jazz fan, but like this - can see where Ludovic Navarre of St Germain gets his ideas! Do SG get a play on RP - 'Tourist' is just so good!

Yes...a previous post indicated they thought this was intentionally "out of tune". Yes it's an intentional move for MD to be atonal in these certain runs. There are passages he does that ARE "in tune"...which indicates that he is intentionally doing this. I don't prefer it for there is a reason for scales that work and don't work in various keys. I appreciate the affect Miles is going for here...I just don't like it. My two cents.

This would be a nice song if the electronic stuff matched Miles' scale. So out of tune! Seriously?!

I dig it man. Let your soul free, listen to the groovy tune. Miles was such a varied trumpeter. From laid back to electronic. Awesome man. |

Any old timers remember what it sounded like when you put an LP on a turntable that has gotten warped in the sun? That's what this turd sounds like. I like some MD stuff, but this thing sounds like everyone assured that they were out of tune with one another before starting to play. Sucks IMHO.

Hip Hop killed Miles Davis before he could make a complete ass of himself! The good die young, legends die just in time!

Thankyou for that comment as I see another Jazz fan in here .. Have this on Video absolutely amazing, and he keeps chewing gum all the the way through, such a laid back character. My first purchase was 'Porgy and Bess' all those years ago and have most of his releases. What I admire most of this genius is the dabbling/experimenting all forms of music during his career, Sadly missed but his legacy will live on forever.
This is my first 10

What's interesting is that this is probably the least challenging stuff Miles put out. It anticipated a lot of later very cool things, but the technical difficulty is pretty low, at least for him.

I would be willing to bet that, if you put each instrument in this tune on a chromatic tuner, that you would find that there were at least three instruments that were a 1/2 key off from each other (at least three different keys). Miles Davis was typically out of key with his band, but in this tune, some of the other instruments are out of key with each other (and Miles) as well. Incredible! It's like they don't tune up with each other before playing! I've never heard any other professional music like it. Some singers can't sing on key, but this seems like it is an intentional style choice here. Some people probably love everything Miles did, and I like some of it, but I have to say I prefer listening to musicians that are all playing in the same key. Let the bashing begin . . I can take it.
It's called dissonance. It gives it that edgy feel that makes you a little uncomfortable. But go with it- it's cool. |

Perhaps it doesn´t span 50 years exactly, but his body of work was cutting edge or thereabouts in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and with this sole work, I think 90s.

Even if you are right (it's too late to go checking with software, let's just say it could or could not be true), the fact that the music is just sexy is enough to consider trying to play a bit detuned. Personally I like this album way more than the rest of Davis' work (some of which I do enjoy). |
