Hello marhus78,
Great to hear from another jazz lover. Yes, that was quite a night; around forty years back yet the memories remain.
I'll never forget Miles entering from stage left looking cool, slim, mean, trumpet in hand and ready to fly.He never uttered a word all night. The music spoke for itself. The band ... oh heck I could talk about Miles all afternoon!
The Jazzbear wishes you happy listening always.
@Christopher: I envy that you have the chance to watch Miles live... !
Agree with you wholeheartedly MiamiLawyer. Miles is punching savagely on this, but the album would certainly lack a special feel without McLaughlin's stunning guitar work. Love Billy Cobham's pulsating beat too and oh those cymbals!
Simply beautiful - McLaughlin on guitar is amazing and Miles (of course) is untouchable.
You deserve a standing ovation for broadcasting this soulful, ground-breaking album ABC Jazz.
I was fortunate to hear Miles playing wxcerpts from this live - many moons ago! - and I was simply awe-struck. The film about Jack would no doubt have made him feel proud.
(For what it's worth, this is marvellous music to have on the stereo too when exercising!)
MY utmost gratitude to all associated with ABC Jazz. Feeling down? Get aloft listening to this people. Trust the Jazzbear, it works.
