This Christmas, for whatever reason, I’ve been in an early Liebman<\/a> & electric Miles<\/a> kind of mood. Hence this week’s video. Miles’s pre-hiatus electric period is one of my favorites of his. For those fans of the addicting Dark Magus<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(1977), you should love this clip.<\/p>\n

This was originally a television broadcast of a live performance, but I believe it’s since been circulated on one of the European bootleg outfits. (I have a number of those, but have yet to pick up this gem. I didn’t know it was available.) The video and audio quality are quite crisp for being so old and “lost.” For those Miles fans out there intimately familiar with The Miles Davis Story<\/a><\/em>\u00a0DVD, a clip or two from this concert (this particular clip, in fact) are included in the portion on his electric 1970s period.<\/p>\n

A couple highlights (among many) in this clip:
\n1. Miles as Bandleader<\/span>: \u00a0I’ve mentioned before my fondness for Miles as a bandleader. Here you see him “conducting” at time, especially during Liebman’s solo (3:34-5:20). Sure, his back was to the audience (gasp!), but what he was really doing was facing the band<\/em>.
\n2. Liebman’s solo<\/span>: On fire! (As always…)
\n3. THE BAND!<\/span>: This core lineup is featured on a number of ~1973-5 recordings.
\nMiles Davis – Trumpet, Organ
\nPete Cosey <\/a>– Guitar, Percussion
\nAl Foster<\/a> – Drums
\nMichael Henderson<\/a> – Bass
\nDave Liebman – Saxophones, Flute, Percussion
\nReggie Lucas <\/a>– Guitar
\nJames Mtume<\/a> – Percussion<\/p>\n

Title: “Moja – Pt. 1” (or “Turnaround”)
