Miles Davis Octet, David Sanborn/Belgium 1987 & more

The miraculous revival of Miles, with the addition of Rudy Byrd on percussion and the group’s sound becoming even stronger, 1987 was the most fulfilling year since the 1980s, and Miles was healthy and in top form when he held the legendary long concert in Europe.・A powerful live show at the jazz festival in Antwerp from the tour will be released for the first time! ! In addition, a bonus recording of the 1989 TV show with a luxurious lineup in the highest sound quality currently available! ! This time, from the legendary 1987 European tour, the first excavated live performance was held at Konigin Elizabethzaal in Antwerp, Belgium, on October 18th, with an almost complete 2 and a half hours of ultra-high quality sound that has been carefully mastered by the label. The recorded sound source includes three Miles Davis songs that appeared on the popular NBC television program “Night Music” on October 19, 1989, hosted by David Sanborn and music directed by Marcus Miller. A definitive 2-disc set that is the best document of Miles’s heyday in the 80s has arrived, with a bonus sound source recorded on the current highest sound quality sound board that has been carefully mastered by the label! ! The opening number of the day is the deadly “One Phone Call”, which is a reconstruction of McLaughlin’s impressive riff in Jack Johnson. Backed by Ricky and Darryl’s unusually heavy rhythm, Miles The way the riff is intertwined with the free blow at the perfect time is enough to give you goosebumps! Furthermore, Miles, who seems to be in top form, continues to perform creative improvisations one after another, and his blowjobs are singing! Kenny and Foley’s passionate solos are perfect as if they were drawn in by Miles! In addition, there is the perfect “Perfect Way” where Miles blows openly with a Spanish scent at the end, Foley’s lead that plays bluesy and rock with a hard dry sound in “Human Nature”, and the unforgettable “Time”. Miles appeared as a guest on Prince’s “Movie Star” and performed many of his signature songs, including the trumpet that surpassed Miles’ nostalgic vocal expressions in “After Time.” This is the ultimate great performance in terms of song selection and content, including rare numbers such as TOTO’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” and Neil Larsen’s “Carnival Time,” which I love. ! Just like that, this day was a big hit! The entire album is a parade of wonderful performances, with Ricky’s tight drums and Darryl’s deep bass supporting the bottom, and although it would have been enough with Foley’s lead bass alone, there is still a depth that can only be achieved by two people. The charming twin synths of Irving and Holtzman fill the space, and the colorful percussion of new member Byrd adds accents, and Kenny and Miles hit the nail on the head with a vivid development that is free-spirited and well-rehearsed. Let us fully enjoy this irresistible performance that fully demonstrates the supple musicality unique to the Miles Band of this period! A truly miraculous night where King Miles, who is in perfect health and has reached his peak several times, and the band that can be said to be the strongest lineup since his return, came together! ! ! The bonus “Night Music” was previously released as a compilation, but although it is in the form of a bonus, it is nice to be able to listen to it here without any noticeable extra stuff. Listening to the show will be the regular group led by Miles, Kenny Garrett, Foley, Adam Holtzman, and Ricky Wellman, and the show’s band members David Sanborn, Marcus Miller, and Don Arias. The duration of each performance is short because it’s on TV, but Miles’ ability to compose, concentrate, and everything else is perfect, and he takes all the “delicious” parts with him. is! It’s only 3 songs, but it’s all there is to it. Moreover, the sound quality has been improved by one rank with the label’s own careful mastering! !
