We produced a set at the Civic Opera House in Chicago with a variant of this band, a little earlier, with Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, Airto, Steve Grossman on tenor and Chick Corea also on electric piano. Those grooves they sat in were created in the studio by Holland and Harvey Brooks for Bitches Brew, and then Miles toured that idea for five years with various ensembles. Jarrett was always himself with Miles, who had a habit of changing the way people played. He never changed Keith. The Henderson years were under recorded, and then the Marcus Miller years were a little over recorded. So it especially nice to hear this particular band. I give Michael Henderson 10 stars just for that one note he played behind Jarrett's solo.

Thanks for the insight. I saw Miles' last Fillmore concert, May 1971 with Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette, Mike Henderson, Airto and Gary Bartz. I went two of the four nights and this band was clicking on all cylinders, well amplified with stacks of Acoustic amplifiers and speakers also using wah wah peddles for Miles, Jarrett and Henderson. This band had toured together for about eight or nine months and those two nights appeared to be a perfect storm. The sadness is this was the peak for Miles (no official recordings exist of this period) and it was never reached again with later bands. Jack and Airto would leave this band summer of 71' before Miles' Fall European tour which was well recorded with audio and video recordings available but the dynamics had changed with Jack and Airto gone.

The best electric Miles band. May be the most important contribution to this concept was the bassist Michael henderson. Even the directions in music was led by Miles, Henderson add to their music a set of 10 or 12 ostinatos bass lines in different keys and time on which they improvised, passing from one to another. What I like also in this band is that the time is not "beaten" by the drummer but just suggested in most of the songs. These videos should be seen by 40'000 people, not only 1'822!

agree totally / don't forget the (in the best sense) abstruse solos of Jarrett / and yes, I like the lucid playing of Leon Ndugu Chancler / Gary Bartz contributes great solos too / the band is celebrating 'Yesternow' in Oslo 9th November 1971

"Infamous" because critics and some fans (die hard 1st quintet especially) were not keen about the direction Miles was taking his music. The music from this period ('68 to his retirement in '75) was and still is unlike any other music happening either at that time, or since. The musicians that played in whatever iteration of his band never played that way ever, in their own groups or as sideman to other artists, like they did when they played with Miles.

You could never classify it in a genre section of your local record store, nor could you accurately describe to anyone what you were/are hearing. It's what makes it difficult to listen to. Because of it, it was difficult to market/sell. Which may or may not be the genius of this music. It was an attempt at real MUSIC, in the moment, as true and as raw as it could ever be.
