disc 1

d1t01. /Black Satin
d1t02. Rated X
d1t03. Honky Tonk
d1t04. Right Off/

Notes:

  • D1t01: The beginning of this song is missing along with the preceeding Intro.
  • D1t03: starting at about 8:30 there is a gurgling type noise. Not sure exactly what this.
    It continues into about the first 30 seconds of track 4.
  • D1t04: The track is cut at the end.
  • Many thanks to Freekjazz for the tapes and D. McCabe for the mastering and transfer.
    This tape came lableld as 9-24-1972 (See Peter’s notes below). Through some comparison
    it certainly fits the bill for this date. I would love to hear some of the other sources
    of this date. The sound very good. Wish the show were complete.
  • “This set was broadcast live on WBCN-FM radio. The closing announcement mentions that
    the Davis Nonet is at Paul’s Mall “for the rest of the weekend” — probably from Thursday
    the 14th through the following Sunday, the 17th. Another set, probably from a different night,
    was recorded by someone in the audience and is sonically inferior. See the listing for
    september 15-17, 1972 for details.” – Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/
  • “Super Sonic wrongly lists this music as recorded “live at the Quaker Jazz Festival,
    Philadelphia, NJ / September 24, 1972.” In addition, the track indexes are wrong:
    1.Black Satin (9:31); 2. Rated X (15:13); Honky Tonk (9:34); 4. Right Off (11:45).
    The Luxury CD is subtitled “WBCN Broadcast New Master” and the sound is imporoved over
    other issues.”- Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/

This torrent is taken from disc one of the Jazz Door bootleg ‘Another Bitches Brew: Two Concerts in Belgrade’ (disc two to follow).

There are many fine recordings taken from this 1971 tour and this is up with the best of them, with the band in its usually fine form.

The recording quality is very good, although the mix is a little skewed and reverberant. Shouldn’t cause anyone any major problems though, I’ll give it a B+.

The original CD issued the whole concert as one long track. I’ve separated the pieces.

Details of the show can be found on Pete Losin’s Miles Ahead site: http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/Sessions.aspx?s=711103

Please note that, as with all the shows from this tour, Losin lists tracks 3 and 4 together as a single title, ‘What I Say,’ although I maintain they are two separate pieces (the first part does not appear on 1970 recordings of ‘What I Say’). Discographer Enrico Merlin has argued that the first part is a development of ‘What I Say,’ so I have banded these pieces separately and referred to them as ‘What I Say, parts 1 and 2.’

Enjoy!

total time: 63:49 mns

Notes:

  • This is not taken from the Fillmore Tree. The Fillmore Tree version is about 25 mns. This here is almost the complete show, only “Directions”, the set-opener is missing: total time is about 64 mns. This FM source sounds great.
  • According to P.Losin: “The Davis Septet opened for Leon Russell and Sea Train for four nights at the Fillmore West, October 15-18 (Thursday-Sunday). Columbia probably recorded these shows, and the Fillmore certainly did. None of the recordings of this show that I have heard includes “Directions,” the standard set-opener…”

Miles Davis – San Francisco, CA (03/xx/60)

Miles Davis Sextet
March 1960
San Francisco
USA



From an ACETATE SOUND CLEANED (there were a lot of clicks )

New find: live Miles sextet with Coltrane in SF in March, 1960 right before the legendary quintet Europe tour!
Miles, Coltrane, Buddy Mongomery (vbs), Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb Check it out:

Miles hired Buddy Montgomery for the sextet when Cannonball Adderley left.
The plan was to take him on the Europe tour as well, but Buddy Montgomery was apparently afraid of flying.
This would seem to be the only known recording of the sextet with Montgomery.
