bradm Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 If you like "Bitches Brew", there are a couple of others you should consider picking up. First, there's a multi-CD set of the complete Bitches Brew sessions; it's expensive (and I don't have it), but it's reported to be fantastic. Slightly cheaper is "It's About That Time", which is a Miles quintet that wasn't recorded live very much; it's from the Fillmore East in 1970, IIRC. It's essentially "Bitches Brew" live, and has similar content to the "Black Beauty" album, but without the cuts. It's 2 CDs, and worth every penny.

puddles Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Brad,dude,that sounds fee-nomenal! I wonder if Record Runner or CD whorehouse would have it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 I'd pick up 1970's " Live Evil " too. It's killer stuff with some of the same line-up as " Bitches ", including John McLaughlin, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddles Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Yo,Yo whats the name of that movie about Miles,I think its in B&W but not sure...wow,its been about 6 years since Ive seen it...HELP, I WANNA GO RENT IT TODAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 I got "It's About That Time" at Record Runner; it was just under $30, IIRC. (Also, I had it wrong: "Black Beauty" was recorded at the Fillmore West around the same time; "Miles Davis At Fillmore: Live At The Fillmore East" was the one I was thinking of.) Here's a good web site for Miles Davis and here's info on It's About That Time. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Hey Puddles, if you want a great music site, with all the Miles reviewed and cross-referenced, check out this: allmusic.com. It's the website for the popular guides/books: All Music Guide; All Movie Guide etc... I check out this site daily. I go crazy with the excellent reviews, write-ups and bios.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Yeah i'd have to say Live Evil or Dark Magus are sweeter than bitches brew, but essential listening is also Agarhta and Pangaea, the afternoon/evening concerts from Japan....amazing. But the overlooked classic for me is the soundtrack to 'Jack Johnson' - it fuggin rocks. The guitar is right up front(well over to one side actually) but it sounds wicked.

Jaimoe Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 " A Tribute To Jack Johnson " is an evil masterpiece. Get it at all costs ( which shouldn't be that much ). Oddly, I'm wearing a Miles t-shirt today at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the recent re-issue of "Dark Magus" (in the cardboard digi-fold packaging) and the old re-issue of "Pangea" (normal plastic double-thick 2-CD case), and while the music is similar (that whole "scorched earth" pre-retirement Miles), the sound on "Dark Magus" is, IMHO, 'way better than "Pangea": it's fuller, richer, and has higher levels. Does "Agharta" sound similar to "Pangea"? I don't have it yet (it's on the to-get list), and have to get the to-get list in priority order.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 Agharta and Pangaea are afternoon and evening concerts of the same day recorded with the same gear-as similar sounding as albums could get. Really could be a 4 CD set. The digipak rereleases have all been cleaned up and remastered, and generally sound better than all the other live Miles. I'd say the only digipak release i don't like so much is the Philharmonic Hall 72 show....I dunno, just doesn't go where the other ones do. For something else milesish and cool, try Donald Byrd-Electric Byrd. 1970 release that sees Byrd's trumpet run through delays to make spaced out textured jazz romps....very cool.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 oh yeah i think it's agharta that has the tribute to jack johnson as the second side, might kill 2 birds there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
