Live At Ronnie Scotts

Miles Davis Quintet

Performed live at Ronnie Scotts Club, London, November 2nd 1969 for broadcast on BBC TV. In terms of official recordings this group is, as Miles Davis himself lamented, the lost quintet. However, thanks to broadcast tapes the challenge that Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette set for Miles and Wayne Shorter is here for us to enjoy. At the time of this 1969 gig at London's Ronnie Scott's club, Miles' most recent release was the innovative but subdued In A Silent Way. Those who arrived at the venue hoping for the delicate beauty of that LP were in for a rude awakening. The far more challenging Bitches Brew sessions had just been recorded and the pared-down group who had crossed the Atlantic were very much in a Bitches Brew frame of mind. Wayne Shorter later famously claimed that Miles was 'doing rock the be-bop way' but this was an exploratory phase for Miles' electronic music and the results lay waste to any claims that he was smoothing things out to attract a larger audience. Miles Davis - trumpet; Wayne Shorter - tenor & soprano sax; Chick Corea - electric piano; Dave Holland - bass; Jack De Johnette - drums. Tracklisting: Disc 1: 1. Intro / 2. Love For Sale / 3. (I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over / 4. There Will Never Be Another You / 5. All Blues / 6. Witchcraft / 7. Blue Bossa. Disc 2: 1. Oleo / 2. Lil' Darlin'
