The Roast Quintet's two shows on the same day, which had been released separately, are now both fully recorded, and the latest meticulous mastering has made them clearer and improved the sound quality. This is the definitive updated version of the legendary live performance, in which Chick played drums and performed many of the songs on "Bitches Brew" immediately after the recording was finished. Miles' electric transformation began with the studio works "Miles in the Sky" recorded in January and May 1968, followed by "Daughter of Kilimanjaro" recorded in September in June of the same year with Chick Corea and Dave Holland joining the band, "In a Silent Way" in February 1969, and "Bitches Brew" in August, building the core style of electric Miles at a breakneck speed. As a result, the results of all his explorations came to fruition with "Bitches Brew". In December 1968, Miles and Shorter were joined by Chick and Holland at the Boston Jazz Workshop, and initially Tony Williams was on drums instead of Jack DeJohnette. In March 1969, Tony left and DeJohnette officially joined, and they began performing live as the "Roast Quintet". Today, the historic album "Bitches Brew" is a decisive turning point for Electric Miles. The recording was completed in just three days, August 19-21, 1969, and was skillfully edited by Teo Macero. The day after the recording, they held a concert at the Grand Park Theater in Chicago, and in September they held a concert at Shelley's Mann Hall in Los Angeles, and three consecutive concerts at the Blue Coronet in New York, which served as rehearsals, and then embarked on a full-scale European tour. The first day, October 26, 1969, was held twice on the same day, and was the first performance to celebrate the completion of "Bitches Brew". This performance is actually the most important recording in the history of Miles' archives! The recordings from this day were first released by a prestigious label about 30 years ago, as the first and second shows, but the sound was not good enough for this label...especially DeJohnette's drums from this period, which are usually noisy but are even noisier due to the recording, and the overall sound was muffled and not very good. Especially the first show. This work carefully examines the original master and surprisingly updates the sound and balance of each instrument with the latest and most careful mastering! Moreover, the first and second shows are recorded completely on two discs in one set. I am grateful, impressed, and grateful for the evolution of the times that we can listen to this most important recording of electric Miles at this level! Both concerts started with the title track of "Bitches Brew," which had just finished recording. Surprisingly, this is rare! Furthermore, the first show featured "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" and "Sanctuary" from the same album, while the second show featured "Spanish Key," in which Chick played drums behind Shorter in a rare performance. This was a live performance that fans would drool over, a real live version of "Bitches Brew"! Furthermore, the first show featured "Directions," and the second show featured "Nefertiti" and "Round About Midnight"! All the members, including Pett, who was too sharp throughout the entire performance, were in good form throughout both Miles' first and second shows, and of course each member's solos were played, but the whole group was united, and the way they pushed forward with the majesty of the Roast Quintet was simply breathtaking! Especially, Chick's heavy and percussive electric piano, originally a percussionist from Mongo Santamaria and Dave Pike's group, is overwhelming! ! There was a CD released in 1971 that was a live performance called "Bitches Brew" but the title and content did not match, but this is the real "Bitches Brew" live performance! ! Incidentally, "Bitches Brew" was released in April 1970. Although it caused controversy all over the world, it rose to the top of the jazz charts immediately after its release and eventually achieved sales of 500,000 copies! Moreover, this album continues to sell to fans of a wide range of genres, not only jazz fans, but also rock, black music, hip hop, and even classical music! ! This is Miles' best-selling album after "Kind of Blue"! !
