This is what happens when a Band of geniuses find and extend a mode of operandi designed to condense their history of individualized experiences into a nuclear explosion of clarity and emotional substance.of the highest order.Each of their musical excursions,as an unit, was a masterpiece, which adequately condensed the history of jazz into a nightly statement of their group interaction. The music of the future had to change because of the important contributions of this Band in their present time! Thank you Miles, Wayne, Chick, Dave, and Jack.

My fave Miles Band. This was the Bitches Brew touring group. Miles wanted the record company to film the tour, but they didn't and missed the whole thing. Thank heavens for such a high quality recording as this to surface so many years later. This is one for the ages!

This ish is THE best. They are living in each others' musical shoes.

Wow! That comment is straight out of KZfaq Advanced Comment Writing Class.

Free Form...Free Jazz. Avant Garde. Sun Ra, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Ornett Coleman. This is what was emerging at this time.

I heard/saw them at a Newport in July 1969; my jaw is still on the floor…

I'm always stuck rewinding Wayne Shorter's solos. So gooood

My favorite group of all time.

Thank you my man, now lets hope it spreads like wildfire

One of my favorite Miles groups of all time!

Astonishing! I often find that, although I love free jazz, I am satisfied after about 15 minutes or so. But this just fascinates the whole way, and the dynamic range is unmatched. Everyone plays his ass off for sure, although to my ear, it is Jack who stitches the galactic tapestry together. He’s been my favorite musician for about 50 years now, and every time I hear this early stuff it just adds to my admiration. I wish there were more recordings of him with Chick and Dave. He did tour with Chick and Bobby McFerrin, maybe 15 years ago, I’ll never forget the three of them just standing at the front of the stage trading scat. Hilarious and adventurous and heartwarming. Thanks for this upload!

A profound teaching lesson. Life offers, all of us, an opportunity to condense all the memories of experiences we hold near and dear and translate them into a new vocabulary to reassess our present and define the apparatus we will design and use for future undertakings. This is an unique exercise in revealing the history of jazz up to this point. There is so much music in the breath and space between notes and the assumptions made by the individual artists that the words -revelatory and transcendent - do not adequately cover and describe this experience. Each set, played by this Band, was a masterpiece.

Great stuff on a new year. Thanks for the upload

last 15 minutes or so of this are incredible.
