Miles Davis, Live in 1967

[Guy Berger]

I'd like to start a thread on the incredible live music recorded by the Miles Davis Quintet during 1967. Peter Losin lists 10 live recordings:

1) April 7 @ Berkeley, CA (64:28): Agitation/Footprints/'Round Midnight/No Blues/Masqualero/I Fall in Love too Easily/Riot/Walkin'/On Green Dolphin Street/Gingerbread Boy/The Theme [Albert Stinson plays bass instead of Ron Carter]

This Berkeley date was part of a West Coast swing, during which the Quintet also went into the studio and recorded the alternate take of "Limbo". They then returned back east and recorded music for the Sorcerer, Water Babies and Nefertiti albums.

2) July 2 @ Newport Jazz Festival (20:32): Gingerbread Boy/Footprints/'Round Midnight

In October the Quintet toured as part of the "Newport Jazz Festival in Europe".

3) October 28 @ Antwerp (62:32): Agitation/Footprints/'Round Midnight/No Blues/Riot/On Green Dolphin Street/Masqualero/Gingerbread Boy/The Theme

4) October 30 @ Rotterdam (49:02): Footprints/'Round Midnight/No Blues/On Green Dolphin Street/Riot/Masqualero

5) October 31 @ Stockholm (33:08): Agitation/Footprints/'Round Midnight/Gingerbread Boy/The Theme

6) November 1 @ Helsinki (15:24): Footprints/'Round Midnight

7) November 2 @ Copenhagen (47:12): Agitation/Footprints/'Round Midnight/No Blues/Masqualero

8) November 4 @ Berlin (42:47): Agitation/Footprints/'Round Midnight/No Blues/Masqualero

9) November 6 @ Paris (90:33): Agitation/Footprints/'Round Midnight/No Blues/Masqualero/I Fall in Love too Easily/Riot/Walkin'/On Green Dolphin Street/The Theme

10) November 7 @ Karlsruhe (94:55): Agitation/Footprints/'Round Midnight/No Blues/Masqualero/I Fall in Love too Easily/Riot/Walkin'/On Green Dolphin Street/Gingerbread Boy/The Theme

According to Losin and Chambers, Miles had a falling out with George Wein and returned to the US. Interestingly, the next recording date for the Quintet would be the December 4 "Circle in the Round" session.

P.S. Joe Henderson played with the group from January to March. Too bad no tapes have surfaced...

I would love to have some of this stuff. Joe Henderson and Miles. Maybe somewhere some tapes exists.

[Guy Berger]

I've had some of these recordings (3-10) for about two years and have listened to them on-and-off, but I've been really listening to them for the first time recently. (You could probably spend a lifetime listening to this stuff.)

Anyway, some thoughts on the Oct. 30 gig in Rotterdam. The second half of the concert is really poorly recorded, but some crazy shit happens on "Riot". On the original studio recording, there's soloing over a sort of funky-Latin background. The live performance on Oct. 28 is different in that the playing is much more manic, more of a freebop feel than a funky one. But on the Oct. 30, after a typical rowdy opening to the tune, Williams goes silent (or nearly silent, it's hard to tell from the recording). Instead you have Herbie playing weird shifting trills (sounds a little like Steve Reich!) over which both Miles and Wayne play their solos. It's a total mindfuck. Herbie is totally on during the second half of this concert -- his solos on "Green Dolphin Street" and "Masqualero" are fantastic.

I know Rooster Ties and Bertrand are big fans of the Antwerp 10/28 gig -- any thoughts on its merits relative to Rotterdam?

In general, the music on these concerts is much freer than that on the Plugged Nickel recordings. The group plays the music as a medley; there are rarely pauses between tunes. The tunes guide the improvisations, but you could almost think of the concert as a continuous improvisation with occasional melodies popping up. Hancock is even more responsive to the soloists, and the shift in material from standards toward originals allows the group to be looser with forms. Miles is at the top of his game as far as playing -- his opening " 'Round Midnight" duets with Hancock are stunning. (And interestingly, like the '69 recording Shorter opens the middle section of RM at a racetrack tempo.) "No Blues", which was generally just a "swinging" tune in '65, is more exploratory, There are parts during Shorter's solo in the Rotterdam gig where it almost turns into a sax-drums duet.

p.s. If nobody else has offered this stuff before the end of August (26th or 27th), I will probably be able to seed a tree/vine then.

Has this music been part of a tree? Or has it come out on bootleg cds?

Heard nothing of that band live (well, except for the Plugged Nickel, but that's pretty early in the game).

It's been bootleg. I have someone it, and what I did manage to fine sounds great.

[king ubu]

Well, don't anyone call me lazy... I just checked the Miles Trees Website, and saw that except for items 1) and 2) of the list above, all has been part of a '67 Europe tree.

Anyone willing to share?

I had never even heard of trees until today. Why am I so out of touch!

[JSngry]

I dunno. Maybe you need to conundrumial instigation to get the diagnostication synchified.

Worked for me, but then again, it might have just been a mountain making a hill for the mole to get to the other side of.

Who knows?

Just as I thought.

[Tony Pusey]

Well, I cannot add anything to the general discussion, but I would love to get a hold of this stuff if anybody is willing to share!

[jazzbo]

If one looks at the www.miles-trees.org site you'll find a list of persons willing to trade for/provide the former tree cdrs.

I have a bootleg of Miles with Stitt in London in 1960. That should be added to the list.

[Guy Berger]

On the Paris 11/6 date, Shorter has a cool unaccompanied solo during "Walkin' ". I don't recall any other Miles recordings, official or otherwise, where this happens.

I've got the 11/6 Paris concert (or at least 70 minutes of it-- it starts with 'Round Midnight) on a JMY cd called "No Blues". I guess it's a bootleg. Because of this thread I started re-listening to it and it's terrific! I think I like it better than anything else I've heard by the 2nd quintet including the studio sessions. I saw the group live in 1965 but don't think they were playing at this level then.)

Anyway Guy, if your offer of starting at tree is still good please count me in. I can't wait to hear more of this.

Ok,

Here's the deal. I'm not at home so I don't have access to the CDs in question, but I'll copy them as soon as I get back. You guys work out how the structure and I'll mail a copy to the seed sometime in September.

Guy

p.s. Besides the 6 '67 CDs, I have 13 CDs from '69 and 8 CDs from '70. Not sure how big of an MD dose people can handle, but I have no problem copying the whole shebang.

[medjuck]

Uhhh. I'm not sure what a seed is but I'm game. I have a bunch of Miles bootlegs but most of them are from '6o and earlier.

[sonnyhill]

Guy, I'm down. Just hit me with a pm when you're ready to start.

My understanding of a tree is that one person starts it by burning the material and sending it to one or two other people, who then burn copies and send them out to one or two individuals on a list and so on and so on. . . . each person who receives copies of the subject material has the responsibility of sending it to designated individuals on the list until every "leaf" on the tree receives a copy.

I think it is a superb idea. Its kind of like the movie "Pay it Forward." The Second Quintet was the greatest band ever.

Count me in, I can't get enough Miles!

[WD45]

I am in--have CD burner and post office in my building as well!

I have some mid-seventies dates I can add as well.

[Tony Pusey]

Just dont forget me y`all ! Since I have no experiance of this just tell me what to do when its time! Thanks.

[medjuck]

BTW: re: Hardbop's list of bootlegs: Is this a list of what you have personally? There's los of Miles's bootlegs pre- 1959 availaable on cd. I've got quite a few myself. Which we can add to the tree if people want.

[PHILLYQ]

How about this- everyone who is interested in getting on this tree, pop me an email at pmquirk@msn.com with your real name and snail mail address. I'll put them together and make an order of mailing and send that out to everyone who replies, so everyone knows who to send to and where it's coming from.

If that's agreeable, I'll get the copies from Guy and send on to the next & so on. I'll volunteer to assemble the mailing list so as to get the least postage for everyone(well, almost everyone).

Do we want to do the whole shebang? That's about 25-30 discs. I'm OK with that-what sayest fellow leaves/branches?
