"Rock is a white man's word. Blues is a white man's word. Jazz is a white man's word." -- Miles Davis

"One thing about Miles and his music, in working with Miles, you can experiment as much as you wish. You can take his music, you can cut it up, you can put the filters in you can do anything you want to as long as he knows who it is. I mean, he's not going to let just anyone do it." -- Teo Macero

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 3 May 2007 21:47 (eighteen years ago)

Jack Johnson

― Bill Magill, Thursday, 3 May 2007 21:48 (eighteen years ago)

I haven't heard them all either, but "He Loved Him Madly" is my favorite Miles, so I'll go with Get Up With It, followed by Jack Johnson.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 3 May 2007 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

Goddamn, OTC/Jack Johnson/Agharta! Can't pick.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 3 May 2007 21:52 (eighteen years ago)

Jack Johnson, but I also wanna give a shout to the title track of "Circle in the Round," which is from either '69 or '70, right?

― If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Thursday, 3 May 2007 22:01 (eighteen years ago)

Dark Magus edges out Live-Evil, just.

― Matt #2, Thursday, 3 May 2007 22:04 (eighteen years ago)

Pangaea and Jack Johnson are probably the most conventional, and also my favorites.

― Jordan, Thursday, 3 May 2007 22:06 (eighteen years ago)

It was Agharta or Jack Johnson, and I went with the "What would I miss more if I never heard it again?" and chose Johnson.

― I eat cannibals, Thursday, 3 May 2007 22:59 (eighteen years ago)

Circle in the Round (mainly 50's/60's outtakes, and it gets my contrarian vote -- better sidemen compared to the 70's bands, though it breaks no new wind) and Water Babies (outtakes from '67/'68) were stopgap releases while Miles was out-of-action.

― mark 0, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:11 (eighteen years ago)

Plaza's also old stuff -- '58, I think.

― If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:14 (eighteen years ago)

GO WITH THE HENDERSON WALLOP

― Andy K, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:16 (eighteen years ago)

Another great (posthumous) one is It's About That Time -- Fillmore, early 1970.

Miles Davis took the stage of New York's Fillmore East with five other players on March 7, 1970. Leaning heavily on the soon-to-be-released Bitches Brew and looking back no further than 1967's "Masqualero," they rumbled, squawled, and stomped through two sets that might have surprised even fans of Davis's new rock-influenced sound. At times edgier than even the challenging Brew, the music was nonstop, polyrhythmic, and crashing while remaining groove-oriented. With Miles blowing one aggressive solo after another, saxophonist Wayne Shorter and drummer Jack DeJohnette rise to the moment while providing reminders of the angular sound of the '60s trio. While "Bitches Brew" itself appears in a drastically shortened but still relatively hushed treatment, the first of two versions of "It's About That Time" breaks away from In a Silent Way's midtempo meditation into full-tilt tumult. These 90 minutes capture Miles headed in the direction of Jack Johnson, stopping to give the rock audience a glimpse of himself working at another peak. --Rickey Wright

"on the corner" is gonna win but "live/evil" is the shit too

― félix pié, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:23 (eighteen years ago)

anybody have access to that review from "the wire" (issue 164) where they covered black beauty, live/evil, dark magus and live at the fillmore east??

i remember that being some evocative stuff.

― moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:24 (eighteen years ago)

Bitches Brew came out in 1970, so that should've been included too. If you use Allmusic as a source, you shouldn't trust that on jazz record dates, because for some reason it lists recording dates instead of release dates. (For example, it has Bitches Brew as a 1969 record.)

― Tuomas, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:25 (eighteen years ago)

better sidemen compared to the 70's bands, though it breaks no new wind

hahaha

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:28 (eighteen years ago)

Haven't heard half of these (looking forward to though!) but I will use my ILM-right and vote for Get Up With It, not least because of Rated X which I guess is what that Macero quote is all about.

― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:51 (eighteen years ago)

boring brew

― moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:57 (eighteen years ago)

Agharta or Jack Johnson. A tough choice.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:59 (eighteen years ago)

On the Corner, easy.

Get Up With It would be # 2, easy.

― xhuxk, Friday, 4 May 2007 00:08 (eighteen years ago)

"Calypso Frelimo" from Get Up has always been my favorite single piece of '70s Miles. But I listen to the Jack Johnson sessions 5-disc obsessively these days. Damn that's some beautiful music like nothing else. not a fan of On the Corner, that gets theoretical to me although it's not bad at all, all this stuff is pretty good. I like some of the stuff he did with sitar and John McLaughlin, I think that's on Big Fun. I like all of it, but definitely Jack and Agartha are the peaks. Some of Get Up I find overly theoretical as well. What's cool about that '70 stuff is that it sounds so much like what Sly was doing around the same time, like those unreleased instrumentals on the new Riot reissue could've used a trumpet.

― whisperineddhurt, Friday, 4 May 2007 00:44 (eighteen years ago)

You have already voted in this poll and cannot vote again.

;____; otc is the pick but dark magus is so close to it for me. i get quite different things out of the two of them.

― haitch, Friday, 4 May 2007 00:59 (eighteen years ago)

What's cool about that '70 stuff is that it sounds so much like what Sly was doing around the same time, like those unreleased instrumentals on the new Riot reissue could've used a trumpet.

i dunno what the liner notes are like on those new sly reissues but miles is meant to be on a lot of riot, according to that really great mojo article from a few years ago. mostly doing keyboard though - "clusters" ahoy!

― haitch, Friday, 4 May 2007 01:05 (eighteen years ago)

Edd, I don't get the "theoretical" part (though I think I've heard you say it before.) On The Corner is catchy! And I swear I feel more funk on that one and Get Up With It than on his other '70s records (all of which I like -- the ones I've heard, anyway. I put three of them in my metal book, in fact. But I've never really gotten what's supposed to make Jack Johnson the great one.)

― xhuxk, Friday, 4 May 2007 01:11 (eighteen years ago)

that's exactly how I feel about On The Corner. I'm kinda with Lester Bangs on this one, but for totally different reasons.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 4 May 2007 01:25 (eighteen years ago)

Lester was correct about Get Up With It too, it's a pretty terrifying record at times. Not just "Rated X" either.

― Dimension 5ive, Friday, 4 May 2007 01:37 (eighteen years ago)

This is among my favorite music ever and if Bitches Brew were in there, it'd be my top pick, easy.

That said, I'm gonna give a little shout out for In Concert: Live At Philharmonic Hall, b/c it's On The Corner live, w/ "Ife" and "Rated X" and dark as shit.

― Naive Teen Idol, Friday, 4 May 2007 02:46 (eighteen years ago)

Agharta followed by Pangaea followed by Get Up With It followed by On The Corner followed by Dark Magus followed by Live-Evil, etc.

*ahem*

Anyways, the only 70s Miles I've heard are the most obvious ones (Brew, Johnson, Corner). Of those, Brew has never really grabbed me and I could never decide in a millenium between the other two.

― The Reverend, Friday, 4 May 2007 02:51 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, fuck that. Only one of them has evil handclaps. On the Corner, it is.

Awesome

Oh, fuck that. Only one of them has evil handclaps. On the Corner, it is.

Also sleigh bells. OTC = OTM.

Count me in as someone who doesn't particularly get Jack Johnson.

― Rock Hardy, Friday, 4 May 2007 03:07 (eighteen years ago)

Clearly, then, you've never heard the moment leading up to Miles's entrance on Side 1...

I was just getting a chuckle out of how, today, Rated X freaks my mother out, my mother who's always complaining about how music these days just can't stand up to Miles Davis's black funk and Crosby Stills and Nash's wonderful tunesmithing whatever. But I went over to their house for a bit and slapped on that Miles, with his one-finger organ solo, and she started in with the "What the hell is that noise? Turn it off!"
Ma's more nostalgiac for the idea of the weird-ass Miles than actually into listening to weird-ass Miles, I think.

― I eat cannibals, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:26 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, and this is about the best time for Miles, in my humble. The stuff I never got was all the old Kind of Blue boring bop. Angry and dark and disorienting, yeah, I can do that. Puckered little ballads? Never got it.

― I eat cannibals, Friday, 4 May 2007 04:29 (eighteen years ago)

Well, certainly. Miles assembled perhaps one of the best rock bands ever in the '72-'75 period, so it's a no-brainer to assume that material from that period would get the most plaudits here -- there's a lot less heavy lifting involved to understand why Dark Magus is the shit than it is to understand why Nefertiti or the Plugged Nickel gig or Xmas Eve '54 is equally the shit.

― mark 0, Friday, 4 May 2007 09:45 (eighteen years ago)

Oops I misread Ian Chambers' bio [/i]Bitches Brew[/i] was recorded in August 1969 & released six mos later. I'll ask the mods to add it.

I was laying awake this AM trying to decide, along w/other worries.

one disc distillation: torn between Jack and OTC.

double disc expansion: either LIVE/EVIL or Get Up W/It

I went for everything Miles released in the 70s, hence the inclusion of repackings like Jazz at the Plaza and the exclusion of It's About That Time. I bought Water Babies in 1976 expecting funk-fusion from the cover and instead discovered that great 60s quintet so it's a sentimental favorite too. And "Circle in the Round" is hypnotic.

I need more time to decide. But I may have set the date too far in the future at may 19, I should have looked at the other polls' deadlines.

― m coleman, Friday, 4 May 2007 09:59 (eighteen years ago)

Damn hard to choose just one but I went with Dark Magus. Just becuase.

― JN$OT, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:15 (eighteen years ago)

xpost to myself

"Angry and dark and disorienting" was what got him in the commercial doldrums to begin with -- he'd alienated a large part of his audience that was expecting "puckered little ballads". And all this was before he'd ever employed an electric instrument, funk ostinato, or a backbeat.

― mark 0, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:37 (eighteen years ago)

Live Evil just about nudges my vote because of "Little Church" and overall being the most coherent of these releases, though On The Corner (particularly side two) runs it mightily close, and Get Up On It has "He Loved Him Madly" and "X Rated."

Agharta/Pangaea/Magus are all great but you sort of need to do six months of strengthening exercises to listen to them.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:58 (eighteen years ago)

unless you spend your life battle-ready. in which case dark magus gets your vote.

― Edward III, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:34 (eighteen years ago)

I dunno, On the Corner really sounds alienating to me in a way a lot of other Miles electric doesn't. cold. when I put it on it drives me crazy but not in a good way. in theory I like the handclaps but it does sound even more cynical than most '70s Miles. I suppose Jack does it for me because the guitar playing from McLaughlin, first off, is so superb, pointed, restrained, and it seems to me the swagger of the music perfectly suits the subject. it really feels heroic --I could say the same thing about "Calypso Frelimo." when you listen to the complete sessions for Jack you see how much Miles needed an editor, and JJ seems pared down to essentials in a way that a lot of the other music doesn't. I've thought about this a bit and the problems I have with some of Miles in the '70s are exactly the problems I have with his jazz stuff from the mid 1960s--the music seems over-refined and deliberately stints on things like climax, continuity and all that stuff, so it's just pure style with themes that can seem underdeveloped. why I have so much respect for Miles Davis is that he knew all that and did it just to make his statement, that you don't need any of that if you're smart enough. maybe he's right. all I know is, I love almost all of the '70s stuff but I've never warmed up to [/i]On the Corner[/i], bought the new Legacy edition and it sits on my shelf, just like those Can records I can never sit through for more than five minutes.

― whisperineddhurt, Friday, 4 May 2007 14:00 (eighteen years ago)

It took me forever to get around to Get Up With It, and that's the one that's currently captivating me, but it's far too early to vote for that one. Jack Johnson is comfortable like an old friend but maybe a bit too relaxing. And by comparison, to borrow a Xgau quote, I save Dark Magus for those very special occasions when I feel like turning into a nervous wreck. Agharta splits the difference, hits the spot and gets the vote.

I've never heard either of those '60s-outtake albums.

― Myonga Vön Bontee, Friday, 4 May 2007 15:47 (eighteen years ago)

On The Corner is so malign, so concentrated a ball of pure venom, it's almost incomparable to anything else by Miles Davis or anyone else on Earth, to me. No other album sounds like that. I love it to death; if I hadn't just written a whole book on Miles' electric stuff it would absolutely have been my choice for Marooned. I could dump every other Miles disc I own and just keep On The Corner. It would hurt, but I could do it.

― unperson, Friday, 4 May 2007 16:30 (eighteen years ago)

http://www.darkfunk.com/latest_shows/

Let it be said that the 11/7/1973 show is absolutely sick. Much freer than the 1974-75 stuff -- Michael Henderson is doing some CRAZY syncopated fuzz shit on this.

― Naive Teen Idol, Thursday, 17 May 2007 03:36 (eighteen years ago)

BLACK BEAUTY

― Joe, Thursday, 17 May 2007 03:43 (eighteen years ago)

These are basically all classic albums, but I gotta go with On The Corner. Of all his records, it is by far his most idiosyncratic and bizarre and I love it. There has never been another album anywhere in the same emotional universe as this one.

And I love the fact that it was supposed to be his big play for the black youth market, his pop album. Never has an artist failed so spectacularly in an attempt to capture a mass audience.

― Moodles, Thursday, 17 May 2007 03:54 (eighteen years ago)

Agharta for me, but I could just as easily have chosen Jack Johnson or Get Up With It.

― Brad C., Thursday, 17 May 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

Miles Davis released several great albums. None of which were from the 70s though.

― Geir Hongro, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:48 (eighteen years ago)

I mean 70s onwards and I would have gone for "Tutu", include 1969 and I'd gone for "A Silent Way". But his 70s albums were free jazz bollocks.

You haven't.

Honestly, I need to hear the 11-7-73 show some more, but at first listen, I like it more than Agharta, Pangaea, AND Dark Magus -- all of which I've returned to again and again for more than a decade. But this is even heavier, more visceral and further out...

Plus, I prefer the bootleg mix to either Agharta or Pangaea...

― Naive Teen Idol, Thursday, 17 May 2007 21:57 (eighteen years ago)

You could argue that there were borrowings from free jazz from '65 to the end of the 70's groups. Or have you been too busy fixating on Michael Henderson? But no, Geir, no bollocks until the 80's for Uncle Miles.

xposts

― mark 0, Friday, 18 May 2007 11:22 (eighteen years ago)

Free jazz is always bollocks. "Tutu" was a nice fusion album that borrowed a lot from more traditional electronic pop, and was sort of a return to form.

Under no terms whatsoever is any post-On the Corner Miles Davis music "free jazz," sorry. That's simply not a matter of opinion.

Under no terms whatsoever is any post-On the Corner Miles Davis music "free jazz," sorry. That's simply not a matter of opinion.

Miles was fond of Trane-derived sax players; David Liebman was part of the early years of the loft-jazz scene. "Free jazz" was/is a very, very big tent -- Jimmy Giuffre and Albert Ayler fit inside with room to spare -- and how far removed is anything-can-happen on top of a bass ostinato from Trane using a one-chord nominally "modal" starting point as the basis for going Free? See (well, hear) Trane's '65 "Transition"; see Kalapurusha's "Jays", off the Wildflowers recordings.

NP: Art Ensemble of Chicago, "Odwalla"

This might read better:

― mark 0, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:59 (eighteen years ago)

(But I wasn't arguing for Miles as "free jazz" anyway; just sayin' his '65-'76 period rubs up against it in many different ways.)

― mark 0, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

as far as Miles' 80s Aura is the only thing worth fucking w/

So, so, so wrong. Go back and re-listen. Pay particular attention to We Want Miles and, if you can find it, Miles! Miles! Miles! (a Japanese-only live release by the same band) and Decoy, a ridiculously underrated album. Also, find someone who'll loan you the 20CD Montreux box. Whatever you thought of the mid-80s studio albums, those bands were on fire live.

― unperson, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:31 (eighteen years ago)

bumpski

what I would've guessed results-wise. JJ and OTC represent the 70s miles aesthetic distilled to one disc while GUWI is tape/edit genius. surprise showing for l/e, for my money the best of live 70s miles.

thanks to everybody but mr. melody for participating.

somebody should start an 80s miles thread, though I gave The Man W/The Horn a re-listen recently and only made it about halfway through.

The 11/7/1973 mentioned above, is that Paris or Belgrade (depending on date format...)?

― Noel Emits, Friday, 26 February 2016 09:55 (nine years ago)

I'm guessing Belgrade November 7th. The 11th July Paris show sounds like it's a pretty low grade recording, but then that could be what's appealing to you crazy cats.

― lute bro (brimstead), Saturday, 27 February 2016 00:26 (nine years ago)

The 1973 Berlin show (finally/officially released on the most recent Bootleg Series set) is up there with Dark Magus for me; easily a career highlight.

The Paris '73 show isn't bad, but because it's a live mix for radio, the mix keeps getting fucked with, so it's
ALFOSTER'SHI-HATmichaelhenderson'sbass?DAVELIEBmilessortofMTUME throughout the whole set. And Miles' trumpet keeps cutting out.

― Hey (Extended Mix), Saturday, 27 February 2016 00:39 (nine years ago)

answer for me is get up with it, perfect balance of noisy dense funk and dark otherworldly ambience. live-evil prob next, then on the corner. the mid-70s live albums (agharta, etc) haven remained a little elusive for me

― marcos, Saturday, 27 February 2016 19:54 (nine years ago)

on the corner complete sessions box is really the answer though bc it contains on the corner and get up with it plus a few albums' worth of other incredible music
