Man this is incredible. Thank you.

This is greater than great. The intro is killing me, Micheal Henderson's slow bass groove combined with Jarrett's wonderful sound on the electric piano. Can't thank you enough for sharing!

where is john mclaughlin?

[megaladon73]

@mongolord11 I asked myself that too - I think around that time he was touring with Mahavishnu, they had just released their first album in '71..

[ZRMDMK]

Is that percusionist man the brazilian Airto Moreira ?



[egyptianminor]

@FatoushDosEmirados Actually, no. There are two percussionists here: the guy sitting down is Don Alias and the guy standing is James Mtume Foreman - son of legendary HardBop tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath. They are both American. Airto Moreira, played in the band until late 1970 or early 1971.

This is slow to develop but the close up camera work is some of the best of Miles, in my opinion. Great to see him using the wah pedal. Keys and sax are great in this clip.

This is not "Funky Tonk." On JACK JOHNSON it was part of a side B suite called "Yesternow." Wonderful stuff. I heard this same band with Jack DeJohnette on drums some 40 years ago. I love Jarrett's Fender Rhodes solo towards the end. For someone who hated electric keys he certainly elicited a wonderful, original sound.

@chipstern

Yep . You've got me there) I'd love to see those Miles' groups of 70-s live. Was Airto there at the concert you've heard?

[superkulmedkniv25]

I always forget to ask my granfather if he was here. He live in Oslo. Just found out this summer that we share taste in music :D

Is this on dvd yet? I wish the Miles Davis estate put some of his performances to Jazz Icons to produce to us!!!!
