The Miles Davis period end of the 60´s & early 70´s what do you think?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166) 5 years ago

Miles Davis sure belongs to the most important & visionary musicians in the jazz history. In 1969 he released the album In A Silent Way which is named the first fusion record released by an artist. Davis gathering great talented musicians around him and giving them a great musical freedom developed a unique sound in music in which rock & funk orientated rhythms and eclectric instruments dominated rather then swing rhythms, brass and acoustic instruments like in the typical jazz period befor. Through his musical change he also played on big rock events like the Isle Of Wight festival or the Fillmore concerts, even played as frontline of groups like Santana & other´s.

I love that electrifying, full of energy thrilling phase of Miles Davis he went through that time though i love nearly all his compositions. Also great are recordings for movies for example Lift To The Scaffold from the 60´s. He is an extraordinary musician, a legend who died in the 1991.

The Live at Fillmore releases from the early 70´s are also great or did you see his footage in the movie from the Isle Of Wight festival in 1970.... Woooow.. Miles & his group performing in front of a mass of audience I would guess most of them more rock fans.

I am not an expert but I like Miles Davis very much...I think I discovered it when seeing a film with Richard Gere...maybe it was Autumn in New York...he listened to such a moving song by Miles Davis that the very next day I went and bought a CD from him...Since that day, I listen to this author from time to time and expecially when I want to create a bit of atmosphere..or when I want to find a way to my soul..


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  5 years ago

Hi maribea, i can´t really remember if i saw that movie with Richard Gere or not but i saw some movies with music from Miles Davis in it allways get´s you into the right mood. How about his electric fusion period i was asking about, did you get to see those videos? what do you think on the music???

Have a watch on this, Miles Davis with his group at the Isle Of Wight festival in 1970.
