I can understand how Miles fans feel when they hear this title! At first, I was disappointed because this is the only recording of Miles' performance in early March 1971 with Keith Jarrett and his group, but I was relieved when I got an updated version, but it is currently unavailable. However, the final, evolved version has finally been released! It's very moving. When I think about it, it was a live performance (actually a great performance) at Lenny's on the Turnpike in Massachusetts from March 11th to 14th, 1971, which was released as one of a two-disc set by the infamous Jazz Masters label, which was working hard on Miles's music in the early days of collector's CDs. Moreover, there are quite a few live archives of Miles from 1971, but this is the only one where you can listen to his live performance in early March! It was revived from the label 14 years ago as something completely different, with almost ideal high sound quality. However, it is now completely out of print and unavailable. This work has been carefully re-examined from the original master to the smallest detail, and remastered as much as possible, and it has been released as the definitive version with amazing high sound quality that can be said with confidence that there will be no more than this live performance! ! Moreover, the songs are in the same order as the set list at that time! ! With Keith's addition, Miles tried to orchestrate the bass line. In other words, Keith's organ playing the line in double with the bass caused a subtle shift, and that shift inspired Miles. Then, when Chick Corea and Dave Holland left the group, bassist Michael Henderson, who has a completely different sense of rhythm from jazz, joined the group. Here begins the quest for the ultimate rhythm that Miles was aiming for at the time, which can be said to be the essence of Miles in the 1970s. It is not jazz, it is not rock, and it is not a soul group. Gary Peart, who was a member, called the Miles group at that time free music based on funk. It is a very apt description. I want you to listen to "What I Say" from this day! Keith clings to the intense beat of DeJohnette (who will soon be leaving the band but will return temporarily after the European tour) and Michael Henderson's funk bass, and Iart cheers him on, while Miles's wah-wah trumpet, which began to play in earnest at this time, blazes fire. This is the true essence of this band! Keith reappears on "What I Say" after "Honky Tonk", and he's amazing! Here is Keith's best solo on this song! In my opinion, Miles' two great "What" songs, "So What" from the acoustic period and "What I Say" from the electric period, are irresistible. The only sound source that allows you to listen to the performance of Miles' group with Keith Jarrett in early March 1971, has finally arrived at the definitive version after many twists and turns!
