In 1972, Miles Davis released On The Corner. In his autobiography, Miles felt Columbia Records didn't push the album, which added to his frustrations, but it was also a time when Miles learnt more of Stockhausen's concepts of music. He said: "I had always written in a circular way and through Stockhausen I could see that I didn't want to ever play again from eight bars to eight bars, because I never end songs; they just keep going on."
With percussionist Mtume Heath and guitarist Pete Cosey in the lineup, "the band settled down into a deep African thing, a deep African-American groove, with a lot of emphasis on drums and rhythm, and not on individual solos."
Miles added: "I would try exploring one chord with this band, one chord in a tune, trying to get everyone to master these small little simple things like rhythm. We would take a chord and make it work for five minutes with variations, cross rhythms, things like that. Say Al Foster is playing in 4/4, Mtume might be playing in 6/8, or 7/4, and the guitarist might be comping in another time signature, or another rhythm altogether different. That's a lot of intricate shit we were working off this one chord."
For audiences attending this show in London in 1973, they would have thought of Miles playing tracks from On The Corner. But for many, the performance, though fiery, probably sounded more like improvisations and noddlings. Tracks like Turnaroundphrase and Tune In 5, which featured here, would only reach a wider audience with the release of the Dark Magus live album in 1974.
For now, fans can say a word of thanks to saxophonist Dave Liebman who had the presence of mind to put a tape recorder on stage and record the shows.
As valleybird commented on the internet: "This is an excellent stage recording, and so is the performance itself! Click on start, close your eyes if you like, and be on stage with the band! Thanks to Dave Liebman, who I believe is the source of this tape. What you get here is an excellent capture of the stage sound at a Victorian entertainment theater, the Rainbow Theater. The sound of the drums sound natural... There is only low interference of the PA, what you get is their stage amp line, which wasn't so bad for this time. A really interesting recording for audiophiles too."

Listen to these two sets and it’s hard to imagine that Miles Davis would soon stop playing for the next four years. The band is firing on all cylinders; the music is passionately performed and any other group would have died for this. Filled with Miles’ staccato, jump-start bursts, with a backing wash of drums and cymbals that sound like shredding glass and a meandering, funky guitar - components such as nuance and precision may take a backseat to spontaneity and the magic of the musical kill… and it is all still surprisingly fresh today.

Miles Davis - The Black Album {Unreleased}

Miles Davis - The Black Album

Unreleased studio and live tracks 
recorded between 1983 and 1989

Very good studio soundboard

Studio Recordings @224

**Enclosed Notes**

Between 2001 and 2002, Warner Brothers were working on a boxed set that was to include everything Miles Davis had recorded in the studio during his time with the company, 1985-1991, including many previously unreleased studio outtakes, plus some particularly noteworthy live material from the same era. The box was to be called The Last Word, and was initially earmarked for release on Rhino Records in September 2001, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Miles’s death.

In July 2002, the now-defunct ICE newsletter reported:

Originally slated for release August 2002, Rhino pulled [Miles Davis’] The Last Word from rotation stating: “We deeply regret the fact that we will not be releasing [the box set] on August 20,” David Dorn, VP of Media Relations for Warner Strategic Marketing, told ICE. “Our commitment has always been to offer consumers the best possible audio and video products for the best possible value. Due to developing circumstances beyond our control, we felt that this box set would not, in its finished form, meet our standards, or the standards our customers expect from our products.”

Even then, a four-CD set had been sent out to the press and to retailers.

At miles-beyond.com, in a note dated February 2005, Paul Tingen explained why The Last Word project stopped and ends his notes with this:

The banning of my liner notes turned out to be only the beginning of what went wrong with an increasingly ill-fated and ultimately doomed project. Prince, perhaps still motivated by resentment towards Warners, refused to give permission for the release of the three tracks written by him for Miles that Matt Pierson (head of jazz at Warners) wanted to include in the 6-CD set, and similar legal issues held up the release of much of the material from the memorable all-star La Villette concert in Paris in 1991.

Gradually the 6-CD set shrivelled to just 4 CDs, with very little previously unreleased material, which had been kind of the main point of the set. There must still have been a real belief in getting it out, because under huge time pressure Bill Milkowski completed new liner notes in just four days (!), and some CD-R review copies were sent out, without art work. Then some time in 2002 the release was quietly abandoned altogether. Officially no reasons were given. When I queried an insider at Rhino, he would only say: ‘Estate problems.’

So while it is unlikely that you’ll ever get to hear all of the music included in the original 6-CD set, here, at least, is the story of the music in more detail than ever before.

In the meantime, the Japanese Legendary Collection Series released The Black Album, a two-CD compilation featuring some of the unreleased tracks from the aborted The Last Word and other unreleased tracks.

On October 18, 2010, Warner released the two-CD compilation, Perfect Way: The Warner Bros Years. Apart from previously released tracks, the set includes three previously unreleased live tracks - Portia, Carnival and Human Nature - from the 1986 Nice Jazz Festival and two unreleased tracks - Digg That and Rubberband - from the much talked-about Rubberband sessions in 1985, just after he signed to Warner, that featured keyboardist Adam Holzman, Vince Wilburn Jr on drums and Steve Reid on percussion.

For those who are still keeping count, only four of The Black Album’s tracks are officially available. Included here is one still unreleased track from the four-CD Last Word.

*Original Notes*

After you digest that big old Nevilles po-boy for lunch, maybe you would like some evening music as well. The second great Miles Davis Quintet at the peak of their powers in the pre-electric era; Miles with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. A very nicely recorded show from BRT radio in Belgium with what was then the best band in the world. When you listen to these live recordings it brings home the fact that this was a working band. Not just any working band but just about the hardest working band around. This band played constantly in the clubs, the halls and the studio and the level of their musical conversation shows it. By late 1967 they are pushing the boundaries every night even on the tunes they had played for years. I'm going to post 2 of these shows but this one has always been my favorite of the two.

Track List:
1) Agitation
2) Footprints
3) 'Round Midnight
4) No Blues
5) Riot
6) On Green Dolphin Street
7) Masqualero
8) Gingerbread Boy
9) The Theme

Miles Davis trumpet
Wayne Shorter tenor sax
Herbie Hancock piano
Ron Carter bass

Miles Davis - Live Amnesty International Concert 1986

Miles Davis - Live Giants Stadium

East Rutherford, NJ 

Amnesty International Concert
June 15, 1986
Broadcast Source @320


During June 1986, the human rights organisation Amnesty International ran a series of concerts across the USA, designed to raise the profile of its work. There were six benefit concerts and the final one was held in the huge outdoor Giants Stadium, featuring an array of artists that included Joni Mitchell, Little Steven, Joan Armatrading, Yoko Ono - and Miles.

Miles played a set lasting just under 30 minutes and his band consisted of Robben Ford (guitar), Bob Berg (saxophone), Robert Irving IIII and Adam Holzman (keyboards), Felton Crews (bass), Steve Thornton (percussion) and Vince Wilburn Jr (drums). There was also a special guest artist who sat in with the band - more on him later. It was a warm, sunny day and the vast audience was in good spirits - lots of beach balls were being passed amongst the crowd. Miles and his band were also in good humour - Miles exchanged smiles with a number of band members, blew kisses and pulled his tongue at the camera, and waved to the crowd. It was also a casual affair, with Miles wearing a light jacket, shirt and black and white polka dot trousers, Ford in shirt and jeans and Wilburn Jr sporting a baseball cap, tee-shirt and shorts. This was also a time when many of Miles's band emulated his habit of wearing sun glasses - Ford, Crews, Irving and Berg all sport them. Read more here:

   After playing a lot of these white rock halls, I was starting to wonder why I shouldn’t be trying to get to young black kids with my music. They were into funk, music they could dance to. It took me a while to really get into the concept all the way… Jack DeJohnette left the group late in 1971, around the same time Keith Jarrett left. I wanted the drummer to play certain funk rhythms… I didn’t want the band playing totally free all the time, because I was moving closer to the funk groove in my head.

Excellent Unknown Source @192

This is what Miles wrote in his autobiography: “Airto Moreira quit early in 1971 and I got Jimmy Heath’s son, Mtume, to replace him on percussion. We didn’t record for a while because you have to let a band get used to playing together before you record anything. We went out on the road to try to get things together.
“Jack DeJohnette left the group late in 1971, around the same time Keith Jarrett left. I wanted the drummer to play certain funk rhythms, a role just like everybody else in the group had. I didn’t want the band playing totally free all the time, because I was moving closer to the funk groove in my head. Now, Jack could play drums like a motherf***er in a groove; he could really do that shit, but he also wanted to do other things, play a little freer, be a leader, do things his own way, so he left…
“I tried out Leon Ndugu Chancler… But after Gary Bartz, Keith, and Jack left my working band, I got my musicians from funk groups and not jazz bands because that’s the way I was going. Those guys were the last pure jazz players I’ve had in my bands up until today.”

The date of this music is uncertain. The Davis Septet was booked for several nights at Paul's Mall in mid-October 1973. One set from October 17 has been issued on JMY ME-6403. My guess is that these sets took place before the October 17 date but after the recording sessions for Liebman's Lookout Farm, which took place at Generation Sound Studios in New York on October 10-11.

Although these shows have circulated for years with the venue as the Jazz Workshop, according to Jim Rose, a member of the Davis entourage from 1972 on, the venue was Paul's Mall.

Miles Davis - Live Fillmore West 1970

Miles Davis - Live Fillmore West
San Francisco, CA.

April 12, 1970

Excellent Soundboard @ Flac

“After Bitches Brew,  Clive Davis put me in touch with Bill Graham, who owned the Fillmore in San Francisco and the Fillmore East in downtown  New York. Bill wanted me to play San Francisco first, with the Grateful Dead, and so we did. That was an eye-opening concert for me, because there were about five thousand people there that night, mostly young, white hippies, and they hadn’t hardly heard of me if they had heard of me at all. We opened for the Grateful Dead, but another group came on before us. The place was packed with these real spacy, high white people, and when we first started playing, people were walking around and talking. But after a while, they all got quiet and really got into the music. I played a little of something like Sketches in Spain and then we went into the Bitches Brew shit and that really blew them out. After that concert, every time I would play out there in San Francisco, a lot of young white people showed up at the gigs.”
