Here's a video of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Wynton Kelly (I think), Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb (and three unnamed trombones) doing "So What" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4TbrgIdm0E). Trane was really becoming something at this point, but I'm amazed at how short his solo was. (Probably was because they were being filmed or whatever.)
Here's a decidedly more exciting version of the same tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtamURcUd2Y&search=miles%20davis) several years later by the greatest band Miles or anyone ever had: Miles, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams. Here they are doing "Footprints" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrxZLOCa_io&search=miles%20davis) and "Agitation" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORDe_MOyZNM&search=miles%20davis).
And several years later... Miles, Gary Bartz (who doesn't get to play in this clip), Keith Jarrett (as the white guy having the orgasm at the keyboard), Michael Henderson, Al Foster, and Mtume (of "Juicy Fruit" fame) doing... I don't know what (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDhA61nWtXc&search=miles%20davis).
And many many years later... Miles with Marcus Miller, Don Alias, Kenny Garrett, David Sanborn, and others doing "Tutu" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00tzcnyDL68&search=miles%20davis).
