Miles Davis - Live at the Philarmonie in Berlin, 1st November 1973

Format: LP / CLEAR GREEN vinyl (in clear plastic sleeve with RED lettering) – ltd. ed. 500 copies

Catalogue: B141

In 1973 Miles Davis Septet embarked on a tour of Europe, playing and recording dates in France, Italy, Yugoslavia, and this smokin' date at the Philharmonie concert hall in Berlin. By this period Davis and his band were fully electrified, with electric guitar and bass replacing the more traditional jazz instruments, and Davis himself playing his trumpet through a wah wah pedal. This is 1973 and rhythm is the name of the game, as can be heard in the use of double drummers throughout (James Mtume on congas and Al Foster on drums), and a range of hand percussion instruments. Even Miles heads into percussive territory taking over the keys with some funky organ playing. Jazz fusion at its finest.
