Miles Davis

In 1966 a landmark suite of orchestral jazz entitled “The Universe Compositions" was written for Miles Davis and set to be recorded by The Miles Davis Quintet. That moment would never happen. The quintet broke up and the compositions were lost for 50 years...until they were finally recovered by Miles’ only protégé, Wallace Roney--the one man Miles would trust to fulfill his wish. As Wallace prepares to record and debut "Universe," he must find a way to uphold his mentor's legacy. The work would take on an added poignancy when Wallace unexpectedly passes in March 2020 before seeing the music's release out in the world.

One of the true legends of the jazz scene, Miles Davis was not only a virtuoso on the trumpet, but also one of the founders of cool Jazz, Groove, Hard Bop, and Fusion. Available for the first time completely digitally re-recorded is Davis' live performance in Montreal with rare concert footage. This is a must-have for all jazz lovers.

Нью-Йорк, ноябрь 1945 года. Начинающий талантливый музыкант Майлс Дейвис входит в квинтет выдающего джазмена Чарли Паркера. Со временем молодой трубач вырабатывает свой неповторимый стиль звучания. «В мертвой музыке мелодия погибает, все дело в импровизации», — говорил Майлс Дейвис. Постепенно музыкант приобретает огромную популярность и славу не только в США, но и за пределами страны. Дейвис вносит огромный вклад в развитие акустического джаза. Музыкальные новшества знаменитого трубача становятся ориентиром для композиторов на ближайшие полсотни лет. Карьера джазмена была неровной. Дейвис переживал тяжелые периоды депрессии из-за пристрастия к наркотикам и алкоголю.

Hôtel La Louisiane is, at its core, a film about freedom and dignity. Freedom for those who wish to live in a place where they are able to feel inspired. Dignity for the hotel owner to stand by his promise to his father and keep their mission alive: to provide an affordable sanctuary for artists and students in search of fulfilling employment, which they certainly won’t find at other hotels. Freedom, too, to be in an environment of tolerance and rid of prejudice. This film is not just a story about a mythical setting in Paris; it portrays the microcosm of a lifestyle in which collective values reign supreme. A film where what’s real and true is placed above national borders or cultural barriers.

This concert from July 8th, 1991 was the last of Miles Davis many appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival and took place only a few months before his death. Despite a defiant never look back philosophy, Miles was persuaded by Quincy Jones and Claude Nobs to take part in this tribute to his great friend Gil Evans, who had passed away in 1988. This truly unique concert was an historical event and a musical triumph, thankfully captured here for posterity. Miles Davis was a giant of 20th century music and this concert is as much a tribute to him as it is to the late Gil Evans.

This concert from the Jazz legend was recorded in 1973 with a very similar line-up to the later releases Dark Magus, Agharta, and Pangaea, featuring Al Foster on drums, Michael Henderson on bass, Mtume on percussion, Dave Liebman on sax, and, most importantly, Reggie Lucas and Pete Cosey on guitar. It contains some material from the previously listed albums, and plenty that is not, at least in any recognizable form. Jazz VIP. 2009.

From the mid-fifties to his death in the early nineties, Miles Davis was universally recognized as one of the most innovative musicians working in Jazz. He was also one of the most popular with his albums regularly breaking into the pop charts and he picked up a total of eight Grammy Awards. He also launched the careers of many jazz musicians including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Billy Cobham, John McLaughlin and many more. This concert, filmed in Munich in 1987, followed the release of his Grammy Award winning album Tutu and the set list features two tracks from that record, the title track and Portia , plus his unique arrangements of Michael Jackson's Human Nature and Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time.

Kind Of Blue: Celebrating A Masterpiece incorporates material from the 2004 mini-documentary, Made In Heaven, including black-and-white still photography of the recording sessions and the voices of Miles (at the sessions), as well as excerpts of radio interviews with the late Bill Evans.

Documentary about Miles Davis' legendary gig at the Isle of Wight Festival, August 1970. Includes full live footage and recent interviews with band mates and others.

This 1985 performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival captures Miles at one of his peaks in popularity. Throughout his long career, Miles utilized the best in contemporary pop music, and this time he had some uniquely suitable sources; Cyndi Lauper's hit "Time After Time" and Michael Jackson's "Human Nature." Combine funk, pop, and the founder of the Birth of the Cool, the result is an elegant restrained restatement of everything Miles Davis. Add in the virtuoso guitarist John Scofield - and the result is a musical treasure.

On October 9th, 1972 an exhibition of John Lennon/Yoko Ono's art, designed by the Master of the Fluxus movement, George Maciunas, opened at the Syracuse Museum of Art, in New York. On the same day an unusual group of John's and Yoko's friends, including Ringo, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Krasner, and many others, gathered to celebrate John's birthday. This film is a visual and audio record of that event.

In August 1970, 600,000 fans flocked to the Isle of Wight to witness the third and final festival to be held on the island. Besides the music, they also got a look at the greed, cynicism and corruption that would plague the music industry for years to come. They also witnessed the final, drugged out performance of Jimi Hendrix in England just two weeks before he would meet a tragic death. When it all was over, the fans view of rock and roll was never the same.

Маленький мальчик жил в городке на севере Австралии, когда однажды случилось чудо: в двух шагах от его дома приземлился самолет, и из него вышел джазмен Билли Кросс. Он играл и покорил своей музыкой сердце Джона Андерсона, так звали мальчика. Он вырос и сколотил группу, назвал ее «Dingo Dusters». Шли годы, Джон все чаще замыкался в себе, писал Билли Кроссу письма, на которые ни разу не приходило ответа, и мечтал лишь об одном: когда-нибудь съездить в Париж, где жил Билли, и сыграть вместе с кумиром всей своей жизни…

The extraordinary life of Quincy Jones -- one of the 20th century's most influential and talented composers, musicians and music producers -- provides the basis of this offbeat, free-form documentary tribute. With little regard for formal timelines and traditional documentary biography methods, the film is an amazing patchwork of personal insights featuring a constellation of music stars including his long-time friend Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Herbie Hancock, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie and rappers Big Daddy Kane and Flavor Flav, as well as politicians, filmmakers and other important people. Some of the most moving scenes involve Jones returning to his childhood home in Chicago and recounting honest and painful memories from his childhood. Jones does not shy from discussing everything -- from his mother's mental illness, to his marital problems, to his serious health conditions. He also looks frankly at his career.

Наступило Рождество… Но, к сожалению, волшебная сила этого чудесного праздника не в силах растопить лед в сердцах некоторых абсолютно черствых и самодовольных личностей. К числу подобных неисправимых типов относится и герой этой картины — магнат Фрэнк Кросс.Он богат, всесилен и абсолютно равнодушен ко всему, кроме собственных денег. Кросс — владелец собственного телеканала, безжалостный и хладнокровный бизнесмен, с очень жестоким чувством юмора.В общем, Фрэнк — один из тех парней, которые запросто могут испортить вам замечательный праздник. Таких людей, понятное дело, надо воспитывать, и чем быстрей, тем лучше. Ради такого случая в игру включаются сверхъестественные силы.В рождественскую ночь перевоспитанием Фрэнка займутся специально подобранные для этого существа. А именно:призрак прошлого — веселый таксист из ада; призрак настоящего — современная, задорная фея без комплексов, использующая методы рукопашного боя и ужасный, немногословный посланник будущего, с черепом, вместо лица…

Поставлен фильм-загадка по роману Патрис Чаплин. Визуально картина сделана весьма плотно и интересно - это первый художественный фильм Мэри Ламберт, известной видеоклипами, снятыми для Мадонны. Картина Мэри Ламберт начинается с того, что главная героиня, вся в синяках и побоях, в залитом кровью красном платье приходит в себя, лежа посереди бескрайнего поля, расположенного за аэродромом. Что с ней произошло? Где она? Почему такой вид? Она не помнит и не знает... Единственное падение, приносящее радость, - это падение в омут любви. Очнувшись на взлетном поле, Клер пытается вспомнить, что с ней произошло. Ее платье в крови, - и она думает, что убила человека - но кого? Постепенно Клер вспоминает события последних дней, проведенных в горячке любви: приезд в Испанию к бывшему любовнику Огустино, его жену, жестокую ревность... Клер не боится наказания, она надеется только на то, что Огустин жив.

«Фильм состоит из 124 коротких скетчей, каждый продолжительностью от полминуты до примерно двух минут. Портреты людей, с которыми я провел время, мест, времен года, погоды (штормы, снегопады, метели и так далее). Многое о моих друзьях кинематографистах - улицы и парки Нью-Йорка - короткий побег на природе, за город - ничего зрелищного, неважного праздника жизни, который к настоящему времени прошел, и остается только в качестве записи в этих личных кратких набросках...» Йонас Мекас.

Willie Ruff, musician, composer, educator, filmmaker, and Yale School of Music alumnus was on the faculty of the Yale School of Music from 1971 until his retirement in 2017. He directed and produced this short film which follows Dizzy Gillespie and Ruff’s musical partner Dwike Mitchell on a tour of key locations in the history of bebop in New York City. Gillespie led the filmmakers to Minton’s Playhouse, Carnegie Hall, the former site of the Savoy Ballroom, and made an unannounced stop at Miles’ Davis home. (Yale Film Archive)

In Manhattan's Central Park, a film crew directed by William Greaves is shooting a screen test with various pairs of actors. It's a confrontation between a couple: he demands to know what's wrong, she challenges his sexual orientation. Cameras shoot the exchange, and another camera records Greaves and his crew. Sometimes we watch the crew discussing this scene, its language, and the process of making a movie. Is there such a thing as natural language? Are all things related to sex? The camera records distractions - a woman rides horseback past them; a garrulous homeless vet who sleeps in the park chats them up. What's the nature of making a movie?
