Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett/Denmark 1971 Remaster

This performance was originally popular because of the splendor of the performance and because it was a radio sound source, but this time it is remastered from the recently discovered Low Generation broadcast master. Although the master had high sound quality, the low range was a little lackluster. It’s like the baggy feeling a boy feels when he stands in the gym wearing hand-me-down athletic shoes. In this remastering, the shoelaces have been tightened and the contours of Michael Henderson’s funk bass are highlighted. Speaking of the Miles Band around 1970, the key players are Chick Corea and Keys Jarrett, but on this tour, Keith Jarrett plays both electric piano and organ. Now, in this flow, we will touch on the meaningful title of this album, “Did Keith play that?” Of course, it is a well-known topic among veteran Miles collectors, but I will write it again as follows. Keith Jarrett recorded his first solo album “Facing You” on ECM, known as the Scandinavian avant-garde jazz label, on November 10, 1971, two days after this concert. In other words, did Keith play the phrase from the album “Facing You” during a long solo section on stage just before the album was recorded? That’s what it means. There are various opinions among enthusiasts, such as “that phrase existed,” but why not think about it again and post your research results on SNS? Keith’s solo part, which has become a hot topic, is a link between “Yesterday” and “Inamorata”, but this time it is credited as “Keith Jarrett” and a track ID is provided. As a side note, regarding the song title credits, “Inamorata” was originally widely distributed as “Funky Tonk,” but after re-examining it, we concluded that “Inamorata” is the most accurate. And on disc 1 is the credit “Shivad”. This is a scene in which Miles uses a wah-wah trumpet to play a phrase that seems to be the signal for “What I Say,” but the riff does not change and the improvisation continues for a long time. After that, the phrase was shown again and the song went into a frenzy of “What I Say.” Therefore, technically it is an improvisation connected to “What I Say,” but we created a track ID with the title “Shivad.” In the first place, “Sivad” is a title (DAVIS read backwards) created by Teo Macero, who recorded the album “Live Evil,” after editing the performance of Cellar Door on December 19, 1970. Therefore, although it is not strictly a “song,” I named it “Shivad” out of respect for the theory of world-famous Miles collector Peter Losin. “It’s About That Time” doesn’t bear any resemblance to “In a Silent Way,” but if you ask Miles about the setlist, he’ll say, “Call It Anything.” Please enjoy this wonderful concert with excellent sound quality.
