I ask a friend to me to buy it. Discovery.
First, the huge sound of the drums, Al Foster was the last band before breaking 1975. Still wild. Then Marcus Miller, young studios bass with his jazz bass 1975 maple fingerboard. Funky the guy!
Well, let us say at the outset: it is not on this record I was returned by the sound of the master. "It Took me three years to get the sound again." Then, in 1981, it is a little rusty.
Saw: Jean-Pierre and his paroxysmal rise of Mike Stern, young guitarist who asks Miles to the Hendrix. Mind-blowing. Mino Cinelu passed a bad time to his skin: the slap! And ... Bill Evans? No pianist of Kind of Blue, of course, the saxophonist. It fills holes when Miles is out of breath.
Backseat Betty. It improves. Beautiful sound muted but then, when it opens, I get chills every time. He found a little sound of In a Silent Way. Moving, crying. The bass Marcus agreements in the end is terrifying.
Fast track is removed, even disheveled. Resumption of Jean-Pierre, not bad!
My man's gone now is a title of Gershwin. Dark, very modern with a touch of ternary in the end, Miles on keyboards. Kix is a strange kind of reggae music genre in the 21st century.
31 October 1985. I filled my gaps Milesdavisologie. I know the whole period 1965-1969, the best in my opinion with awesome Hancock, Carter, Williams and Shorter. I dabbled Big Fun, On the corner (I always listen loop), Bitches Brew (which I never enjoyed, sorry!). With Coltrane, of course (Milestone, Kind of Blue 'Round About Midnight) even with Bird ...
Of course, I bought the new drives ALL: The man with the horn, Star People (grand album), Decoy (not bad, except Code MD, too electronic) and the youngest: You're under arrest with his recovery Jack Johnson in the introduction, Time after time, Human Nature. I am very excited by the prospect of such a true genius. I have not been disappointed.
Arthur H. explains that at the time he was employed in a theater in Paris. He does not mind playing that night. Error! He takes the biggest slap of his life! There remains petrified! Same for me. Miles found that his immense and fragile at once. It will search notes, THE note to which nobody ever thought before him. He even makes us the introduction of Round Midnight before moving to Time after time. Forest National, Brussels. Bobby McFerrin solo opening act.
Unfortunately, I missed Al Foster and Marcus Miller, replaced by the nephew of Miles Vince Wilbur Jr. and Darryl Jones. Mike Stern has a shrill sound that twist the ears at times. I preferred John Scofield (concert in Berlin on TV October 31, 1983, big time). Nevertheless, I was with a friend and left the room after the fire storm of a supercharged band without being able to exchange a word for an hour ... Should we recover from our emotions.
I had just seen the best concert of my life. I saw Miles in 1986, 1987 and 1988. I really disliked this fourth concert ... In the second, I remember this couple septuagenarian who enters the Cirque Royal, undermined as in opera. Miles began, "You're Under Arrest" bale background with guitar distortion, furious drums, keyboards strident sounds, dissonances. I see my two grown bourges who see the greatest jazz trumpeter (it was not cool jazz of 1959) leave the current room, hands on ears. AH! We finally among connoisseurs! In 1988, Miles was absently and only improvise on simple patterns without chord changes almost. He seemed exhausted. Crushed under the synthetic sounds ... I still took some shots at the edge of the stage and one of them throne in my living room ...
We Want Miles is the best live album Miles period FUNK / electric. I found my first concert in 1985 something Get up with it, of On the corner for energy and groove, and even In a Silent Way for its clean sound. Most of my friends of yesterday and today love this record, even my young neighbor India smiled nothing but evoke this music ...
Miles has been dead for nearly twenty years but this record has not aged. His art is decisive for having incorporated Sly Stone, Hendrix, James Brown, modal music. Into a three-bladed music, an earthquake. Sometimes a fragile whisper. Of course, from Tutu, he left orders Marcus Miller for the arrangements, if not the compositions, giving the most questionable and often less interesting results, dated as very fashionable at the time. Listen anyway Star People (1983, fantastic) and Decoy (1984), possibly The man with the horn (1981). Not forgetting In a Silent Way (1969, the first fusion jazz record of all time), On the corner (1973 Miles Funky Al Foster), Get Up With It (1972-1974, funky rhythm with a Honky Tonk where John McLaughlin sounds like Keith Richards on Midnight Rambler), Big Fun (1969-1974). You will not be disappointed ...
Miles away ...
