MILES DAVIS SEXTET
Philadelphia 1970 [LMPP228, 1CD]
Live at the Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA; November 17, 1970. Very good soundboard.
On November 17, 1970, Miles Davis played a set at the old Electric Factory with a band that included Jack DeJohnette on drums, Michael Henderson on electric bass, Keith Jarrett on keyboards (electric piano and organ), Gary Bartz on alto and soprano saxophone and Airto Moreira on percussion. This show was seven months after the release of the revolutionary and classic Bitches Brew and captures some serious funkiness and improvisation of the electric Miles period.
Thanks to hey man for sharing the tracks at The Traders’ Den.
Original notes:
- According to P Losin, “The original tape consists of three fragments”… audience recording.”
- Original material indeed consists of three fragments in the wrong order. Some slight tracking was necessary in order to put it back together. No sound processing applied. This sounds more like a soundboard than an audience recording.
- This is a soundboard recording
- All instruments are clearly mic’d (esp. percussion) and are mixed to sound about the same distance away.
- Frequency response to about 14 khz is not seen in “audience” tapes made at this time.
- Track 02: brief amplitude drops at 3:28, 4:02, 4:11, 5:08, 5:17, 5:48, 6:12, 6:21, 7:30; 8:44 fade out masking a cut; 9:45 brief drop out.
- Track 04: brief amplitude drops at 2:44, 3:00, 3:39, 3:54, 4:02; 10:00 thru 10:16 gap/splice, from 10:29 until end of set there is a brief amplitude drop ~ 6 sec intervals, most likely associated with an artifact of the way the tape was wound.
- Track 06: cuts at end.
Track 07: cuts at start.
