Miles Davis Electric DVD Tree

Miles Davis Electric DVD TreeThis tree was prompted by seeing six of these collected into a set and for
sale on Ebay. I decided to add a couple of shows to the Ebay offering and
make them available here.

This set of discs consists of ten show on eight discs. June 20 1973, July 8
1973 and November 3 1973 are combined onto one disc. I've done my best to
organize the info files, but I'm horrible at identifying individual songs.

Disc 2.

Miles Davis
Electric Factory, Philadelphia PA USA
November 17, 1970

Source: original Godnoes DVD

Below is Losin's info:

Electric Factory, Philadelphia PA
Audience recording
Miles Davis Sextet

Miles Davis (tpt); Gary Bartz (ss, as); Keith Jarrett (el-p, org); Michael
Henderson (el-b); Jack DeJohnette (d); Airto Moreira (perc)

Band warming up 0:12
Directions (J. Zawinul) (incomplete) 12:42
Theme stated at 2:55, 3:59, 7:41. There is a 2:54 gap (at 8:41-11:35) in the
Godnoes video. The two audible fragments run 8:41 and 1:07.
Honky Tonk (M. Davis) 19:50
What I Say (M. Davis) 13:03
Sanctuary (W. Shorter-M. Davis) 2:48
It's About That Time (M. Davis) 16:06
Funky Tonk (M. Davis) 20:38
The Theme (M. Davis) (with applause)

The original videotape consists of four fragments, not in the correct
playing order. The first consists of the first
8:44 of "Directions." The second begins with the remainder of "Directions,"
but the audio track is missing from the
first 2:54; also included are "Honky Tonk" and the first 9:30 or so of "What
I Say." The third fragment on the videotape
is actually the conclusion of the show -- the last 11:52 of "Funky Tonk" and
the closing "The Theme" with applause.
The fourth fragment (which belongs between the second and third) consists of
the last 2:58 of "What I Say" followed by
"Sanctuary," "It's About That Time," and the first 13:30 of "Funky Tonk."

As Losin notes, this disc is quite a mess and even missing sound at some
points.

Acknowledgments

• D. X.Y. sent me a copy of a rare, nearly complete, version of both Sindelfingen shows.
• R. S. made this material available on TMLT.
• I have used discographical information from Peter Losin's Miles Ahead web site (http://www.plosin.com/) and from Jan Lohmann's discography "The Sound of Miles Davis: The Discography 1945-1991. Copenhagen, Denmark: JazzMedia ApS, 1991."

1969 Miles: The Lost Quintet Tree

1969 Miles: The Lost Quintet Tree

The Lost Quintet refers the Miles Davis Band from 1969 that included Miles Davis (trumpet) with Dave Holland (bass), Wayne Shorter (Tenor and soprano Sax), Jack Dejohnette (Drums) and Chick Corea (keyboards).  This astounding ensemble created transitional music during volatile cultural and political times.

For a good overview of the band during this period, you can check out the review for Miles Davis Live at the Fillmore East (March 7, 1970): It’s About That Time (Columbia / Legacy) by Chris Slawecki.  You might also take a look at  the review for the same release by Dominique Leone.  A cursory Internet search will will yield plenty of other references to the L5.

If you get a copy of A Miles Davis Reader edited by Bill Kirchner, you will find an article called "The Lost Quintet" by Peter Keepnews.  Most of the later Miles biographies have plenty of detail about this musical era too.

1969 Miles: The Lost Quintet Tree (12 CDs) has been capably administered by Scott Peterson, with help from various Daemons and Wizards who are fellow Mileslist MFs.   Notable among the D&W is Londoner Scott Kiehl who prepared and hosted the initial sign-up web site.  We are all indebted to Scott K. for bringing Miles trees into the Web world. 

The subscription to the L5 tree closed on July 4th, 2003 and is now in propagation mode.  If you did not get in on this tree, we are sure it will soon begin to crop up on numerous trade lists and trade groups such as All_Jazz.  You can click here to sign up for announcements of future Miles Trees.

We have begun adding various information about the L5 Tree here, inlcuding setlists,  tree structures, cover art, and subscriber reviews (coming soon).  Just for fun, we have also posted some examples of cover art from various L5 bootlegs that are in wide circulation already.

This is a most recent tree (april 2011) thanks to one MFlistmember who made a brand new discovery available to the Miles-L. A video recording of the Miles Davis Group in Oslo on November 9 1971.

Here are some pictures from the 79 minute long concert :

Miles LX: Coltrane and Beyond

In September 2003 the Miles LX Tree was announced :

Sign Up Now for Miles LX: Coltrane and Beyond


The Miles LX Tree is now open for subscription.  

This is a 7CD Audio tree, which will also be available in .SHN format (# of .SHN discs to be determined). 

Here is what Miles LX includes:


March 21, 1960 (2) Great set that's not as widely available as 3/22.
March 24, 1960 (1) Another great show that's not in common distribution
April 9, 1960 (1) Coltrane's last show. Nuff said.
October 13, 1960 (3) Chosen over 9/27 Manchester because, again, it's not as widely circulated. Good Sonny Stitt example.

The Fall 1964 Tree

In March 2006 this message was distributed on the Miles-List and announced the Fall 1964 Tree :

Signups are now being taken for a tree of a 7 CD set for the European Tour of 1964.
