Call It Anything

Miles Davis At The Isle Of Wight '70 -part 1 2. 3. 4. The year is 1970 and the place is The Isle Of Wight in England, where the Miles Davis Band played in front of a 600.000 - strong British audience. This is Miles' Bitches Brew period, when he singlehandedly redirected jazz for the umpteenth time. An extended free - form blowing session in reality, Miles himself when asked the name of the tune allegedly said: call it what you like. A rare chance then to see today's jazz royalty Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Gary Bartz, Airto Moreira and Jack DeJohnette on their way towards jazz recognition. text via; itsartolie
