The title is true! It's perfect! The Roast Quintet, a star-studded band of young lions who would go on to lead the jazz world, performed at the end of their European tour, and all of their performances reached their boiling point, but as they say, there's no way to miss out in Berlin! This is the legendary performance that recorded the peak of Miles and his group at the peak of his career as a trumpeter! During this period, Miles had no choice but to take the next step, with declining album sales, pressure from his record company for sales, and a decrease in concert audiences. For Miles, the Roast Quintet was an important step towards his appearances at the Fillmore in 1970 and major festivals such as the Isle of Wight, which was a transitional period that brought about a major change in music as a whole. 1968 was the preparation stage, and in 1969 he began full-scale tours. In the spring live performance, the performance was a bit childish, playing old jazz repertoires on electric guitar, but after the recording of "Bitches Brew" in August, the performance was elevated to a high level that can only be described as Miles music, and now it has become established as a genre in itself. The perfection of the "Roast Quintet" reached its peak during the last European tour from October to November 1969. The performance of the "Roast Quintet" in November was particularly amazing, and the Berlin performance was the peak of that performance. Miles, who is said to have been at the peak of his career as a trumpeter, was in top form, and his radical and accurate playing while maintaining a tingling tension is always an amazing listen! ! In addition, Wayne Shorter, Miles' right-hand man who was in and out of form at this time, delivered a miraculous and perfect performance on this day. The coolness of "It's About That Time" on this day, which is said to be the best version, is incomparable! This Berlin performance was a live performance that condensed all the good points of the "Roast Quintet" into one concert, and the diverse musicality that connects Miles' past and future was generously displayed. A wide variety of musical styles, from jazz to rock, free jazz, and even modern music and electronic music, coexist and prosper together and expand infinitely, bringing extreme tension and excitement. This is the true essence of the "Roast Quintet"! The performance of the historical masterpiece "Bitches Brew," born from the core of five people, Miles, Shorter, Chick, Holland, and DeJohnette, was overwhelming, and the stage was unique, making it ridiculous to discuss whether it was acoustic, electric, jazz, or rock. It is often said that the "Roast Quintet" was in a transitional period, but that is not true! Was there another group at that time that was so complete and complete, with beautiful and ugly, still and moving, and beautiful contrasts, in music that no one had played before? Miles Davis' "Roast Quintet" is worthy of reevaluation now!
