Miles Davis Keith Jarrett Miles Davis Keith Jarrett/Live Ndugu Ivre France 10.23.1971 Remastered

The first day of the Paris performance from the 1971 tour, which has produced many titles so far, is here. The soundboard recording from October 27th, the second day of the Paris performance, was released by the same label as “A DAY IN THE PARIS 1971”, and although this is also an audience recording (although it is said to be a soundboard, it is thought to be an audience recording because the applause is close), it is a high-quality sound source that is not inferior. Moreover, the sound quality has been greatly improved by remastering when pressing this time. The biggest attraction of this period is Keith Jarrett’s dual use of Fender’s Rhodes piano and electric organ, but another indispensable feature is Leon Chancler’s drums. The 1971 tour has almost the same set list as the 1970 tour used for the live part of the masterpiece “Live Evil”, which mixes live and studio recordings, but the drummer has changed from Jack DeJohnette to Chancler. Both drummers have a lot of moves and are very flashy, but DeJohnette’s is a little more rock-oriented, while Chancler’s is more funk-oriented. Al Foster would take over the drummer’s seat in later years, but personally, I think Leon Chancler was the best match for Mike Henderson’s bass. How cool it was when he started to go wild and there was no way to stop him! Another big difference from 1970 is that there is a slow part at the beginning of “What I Say,” which is quite effective. Miles plays the transition theme to “What I Say” from the chaos of “Directions,” but the rhythm continues to be impatient, and after playing another transition theme, the “usual” riff of “What I Say” finally begins. After being teased, we gave a standing ovation as if we had been waiting for it. Keith’s electric piano solo, the theme of the two top wind instruments, Gary Bartz’s solo, a rhythm break, Keith’s electric piano again, and Henderson’s bass gradually begins to intertwine. Perhaps Miles is watching over us, but the theme of “SANCTUARY” doesn’t even come out, but the groove of the rhythm section alone is so pleasant that you’ll want to listen to it forever. The electric band that Miles created is a powerful rhythm machine led by Miles. Around 1969, when albums like “DIRECTIONS”, “BITCHES BREW” and “SPANISH KEY” still had a relatively “song”-like form, DeJohnette was at his best, then “WHAT I SAY” and “FUNKY TONK” gradually became more rhythm-oriented, and Chancler appeared. Around 1973, when the rhythm was almost a rush like “TURNAROUNDPHRASE” and “PRERUDE”, Al Foster was established and reached a supernova explosion in 1975.
