Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Live at the Fillmore East, March 1970 presents a previously unreleased window on the inception of jazz-rock and Miles Davis's involvement in it. Leaning heavily on the soon-to-be-released Bitches Brew and looking back no further than 1962's "Masqualero", the quintet rumbled, squalled and stomped through two sets that might have surprised even fans of Davis's new rock-influenced sound. At times edgier than even the challenging Brew, the music was non-stop, polyrhythmic and crashing while remaining groove-orientated. With Miles blowing one aggressive solo after another, saxophonist Wayne Shorter and drummer Jack DeJohnette rise to the moment while providing reminders of the angular sound of Miles's 1960s group. While "Bitches Brew" itself appears in a drastically shortened but still relatively hushed treatment, the first of two versions of "It's About That Time" breaks away from the mid tempo meditation of In A Silent Way into full-tilt tumult. These 90 minutes capture Miles headed in the direction of Jack Johnson, stopping to give the rock audience a glimpse of him working at another peak. --Rickey Wright
CD Description
The creative vision of Miles Davis was at its most mercurial in the late '60s and early '70s. He advanced the language of jazz (and pop) not just with each album, but practically with each gig. A perfect case in point is this live two-discset. LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST is like manna from heaven for Miles fans, its nine cuts all previously unreleased performances from a formation of Miles's band that didn't stabilise long enough for a studio release. A considerably differentversion of this band had recorded the groundbreaking BITCHES BREW not much more than six months before this Fillmore appearance, but the record released as AT THE FILLMORE in 1971, featured yet another incarnation, sans Wayne Shorter, whose last gig with Miles is captured here.
Accordingly, thisrelease finds Davis and cohorts in transition between the abstract jazz-rock of BITCHES BREW and the funkified, modal jams of subsequent recordings. The two sets documented here draw largely from BITCHES BREW, but the variations just a fewmonths down the line are startling. Chick Corea's ring-modulated electric piano creates a Stockhausen-like maelstrom ofsound, while Shorter plays some of the most daring, freewheeling solos of his career. Dave Holland splits the difference between funk, rock, and jazz, joining with Jack DeJohnette's roiling drums to forge a tumbling sonic carnival ride. The entire band blazes through every tune working on all cylinders, making a monstrously joyful noise by which the rest ofus are still edified, even decades after the fact.
