My fave Miles Band. This was the Bitches Brew touring group. Miles wanted the record company to film the tour, but they didn't and missed the whole thing. Thank heavens for such a high quality recording as this to surface so many years later. This is one for the ages!

[@Chromexus]

Saw them ( augmented with Airto and McLaughlin) in Ann Arbor @ early 69. As Bitches Brew was not out, I went expecting an evening of In a Silent Way.. This group came out and blew the audience away- no one had at that point, heard Miles play such sounds. Great memories

[@PLOttawa]

Thank you for this gem of information. Totally makes sense. The sound has the same spirt of BB. Do you happen to know any other albums where the band played with Miles? It's also my favourite one too.

[@ulyssesgarner328]

This is what happens when a Band of geniuses find and extend a mode of operandi designed to condense their history of individualized experiences into a nuclear explosion of clarity and emotional substance.of the highest order.Each of their musical excursions,as an unit, was a masterpiece, which adequately condensed the history of jazz into a nightly statement of their group interaction. The music of the future had to change because of the important contributions of this Band in their present time! Thank you Miles, Wayne, Chick, Dave, and Jack.

[@callmemonkh9020]

Yes, man....

[@alessandromarchesini9039]

...if you want to speak in latin, learn it. Mode of operandi no, modus operandi yes...Just a little comment, you're sayin' about Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack de Johnette, you know? Well, don't tell only to open your mouth but try to say something...if you cannot...shut up and study, it's better.

#Breathtaking

[@JT-vt5kk]

Astonishing! I often find that, although I love free jazz, I am satisfied after about 15 minutes or so. But this just fascinates the whole way, and the dynamic range is unmatched. Everyone plays his ass off for sure, although to my ear, it is Jack who stitches the galactic tapestry together. He’s been my favorite musician for about 50 years now, and every time I hear this early stuff it just adds to my admiration. I wish there were more recordings of him with Chick and Dave. He did tour with Chick and Bobby McFerrin, maybe 15 years ago, I’ll never forget the three of them just standing at the front of the stage trading scat. Hilarious and adventurous and heartwarming. Thanks for this upload!

[@kofferfischii]

This is not Free Jazz.

[@robertwagner9014]

@@kofferfischii Perhaps they go into some forms at some point but from what I heard this is definitely freely improvised and it is jazz so that would by definition be free jazz.

22:04 hilarious da horn paired perfectly with da train I’m riding coming to a halt. Ironically I was having a thought of how jazz is all feel, as is life. Subsequently jazz is life as much as life is jazz. And dat horn tying with da train made it connect sweetly.

[@ceef8688]

I don't seek out Miles Davis much, but this one is super enjoyable. Thanks for sharing it!

[@ulyssesgarner328]

A profound teaching lesson. Life offers, all of us, an opportunity to condense all the memories of experiences we hold near and dear and translate them into a new vocabulary to reassess our present and define the apparatus we will design and use for future undertakings. This is an unique exercise in revealing the history of jazz up to this point. There is so much music in the breath and space between notes and the assumptions made by the individual artists that the words -revelatory and transcendent - do not adequately cover and describe this experience. Each set, played by this Band, was a masterpiece.

I have this bootleg. It’s incredible!!

[@Greyhound645]

Help me out here. How have I never heard this before? Live Evil is my favourite record of all time. And this is the beginnings if that vibe. Is this before In A Silent Way? It’s before Bitches Brew. Is this then the first ever example, of what we would regard as Fusion. Either way, what a line up. Jack DeJohnette is other worldly. It’s also great hearing Chick Corea where it’s not his band, and he’s part of another band. So not dominating because they are all at his level. I’ve just heard it for the first time on my Bose earbuds, whilst walking the dog, late at night, enjoying a modest toke. Thanks for putting this up. Gonna have another listen. London x

[@dylangatenby9928]

I agree Live Evil is a terrific album. This album is awesome too!!😮

[@davejones5745]

I believe "In a Silent Way" was the beginning of fusion, but I could be wrong.

[@dylangatenby9928]

@@davejones5745 Yes In a Silent Way could be considered the beginning of fusion so you’re not really wrong on that at all. Miles started delving into fusion with his albums Bitches Brew and Live Evil as well.

This is one of the kinds of music where you sound better if you're drunk. And to think Sam Rivers was too avant-garde for Miles in '64. More like ahead. And yes, I listened to the entire thing before I made my comment which should be a rule.

[@directcurrent5751]

This is a bit abstract. Like the B B tracks that would have been too difficult for public consumption in its time.

[@tonycampanelli4938]

and people wonder why Miles did not like white people want would guess maybe the cop did pull them overand Miles got over, the car and said something derogatory to the police officer at the time and the police officer who cares nightstick and smacked him right in the throat that's why if you listen to Miles's voice box is very badly damaged with at least playing you noticed that he turns his back. To the audience my estimation Miles Davis was genius what women young boy he did not do what you can't and started argument with police officer mama why people love his music if you go see him play when he was alive he would never look anybody right the face I really don't blame him but that was the time and Charlie Parker was the same way he did not like white people I guess it was time for the police officers created black people lightshit and that was very wrong but that was the time I have all of his albums when he played blue note I guess we'll never see above, I like Miles Davis God bless whatever he is

[@alessandromarchesini9039]

Corea better then Jarrett

[@esolarceoaol]

LOVE-LOVE-LOVED everything Miles put out with Herbie, Tony, Ron & Wayne throughout the 60s. I'm not a fan of this though. All of these artists could be soo musical! THIS "Double Image" is not musical. It is literally cacophony. Those of you who disagree don't bother telling me I "don't understand it". I was featured in Rolling Stone, had a record contract and opened for Thelonius Monk etc in 1968-69 playing this style with my band Smoke. But I grew out of it. THIS style reflects the turmoil of the 60s. It is now passe , obsolete and tedious.

[@sirqitous]

Hi Keni, I played in Smoke from 1975 on. My videos of our 2012 reunion (of the 1976 Fantasy studio sessions line-up) are on my page here at YT. I have many tracks of our Smoke sessions from the late 1970s on my soundcloud page. Also, I released a CD and digital album "Wandering Spirits featuring Salah Webb" in 2020 (Webb on polyphonic synth and beats, myself on viola) -- it's pretty cacophonous though, LOL -- reflecting the turmoil of the 21st century! I presume you know that Woodi (Salah) Webb passed away suddenly this spring. I attended and played at his life tribute in Palo Alto back in July. I'd like to be in touch with you; I'm working with family members to process the treasure trove of tapes of Smoke left behind by Webb. He'd been a good friend for 40 plus years, and we'd continued playing together up until I left California in 2021.

[@ubertar]

I tried searching for your band, curious to hear for myself whether you were actually playing in this style or just thought you were, but it seems to have vanished, like, well... smoke. I wasn't born when you were opening for Monk, but I and many others find this music vital, meaningful and inspiring. Every note makes sense to my ears. I don't find this to be particularly "out" compared to say, Braxton or Taylor or some of Sun Ra's more experimental stuff. It's mainly blues-based, really... not in form but note choice. It's fine if you don't like this music, but to claim it's not music is just silly and arrogant. "Passe, obsolete and tedious"... does that describe this work of art, or are you looking in the mirror?

[@circles79]

@esolarceoaol "passe , obsolete and tedious" haha, thankfully none of those things are true. Perhaps a bit of projection going on. Never heard of Smoke, no idea what that even is, but I'm guessing it fits some of your own descriptors. All of your credentials have absolutely no bearing on this stunningly beautiful music. Funny to me that some people still don't understand that there's no accounting for taste. never has been, never will be. Just because you moved on, don't expect the world to fit your tastes.

[@davejones5745]

And what do you expect from Miles at this point, hard bop, or a continuation of the great quintet? Miles was always on the forefront of change and this was the next step!
