Miles Davis - Jazz Villa, St. Louis, Missouri, May/June 1963
Posting through the panic? Yeah, I guess. As the country I call home chooses fear, nihilism and chaos once again — again! — I have to find solace in music ... somehow. At the moment, I truly have no idea what else to do.
So there's a fresh Miles Davis Bootleg Series coming out any minute now, which gathers several discs of live performances in France from 1963 and 1964, when Miles was getting together with younger musicians like Tony Williams, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, George Coleman, expanding and exploring his signature sound. There's plenty of stuff from this era around, of course, but it's always a pleasure to hear it cleaned up and presented in a way befitting of these sterling, still exciting performances.
As an addendum, check out Davis, Williams, Hancock and Coleman in their first extant live recording, an audience tape made just a couple weeks before they'd head out to Europe for a series of festival dates. The Jazz Villa! Sounds nice, right? This collection of musicians hadn't been together long, but they seem have already gelled, spurring their leader on to some seriously soaring heights. The MVP, however, might be Coleman, who — once Shorter solidified the Second Great Quintet's lineup — might not get his due these days. But his solos are all fantastic, curious and inventive and lively, especially on the killer "All Blues." A song for today, a song for every day for the foreseeable future! ALL BLUES.

Miles Davis Quintet, Teatro dell'Arte, Milan, Italy, October 11th, 1964 (Colorized)
youtube
The band:
Miles Davis (trumpet),
Wayne Shorter (sax),
Herbie Hancock (piano),
Ron Carter (bass),
Tony Williams (drums)
Track:
Autumn Leaves 00:00
My Funny Valentine 15:07
All Blues 26:33
All of You 40:13
Joshua 50:47
The performance style of the Second Great Quintet was often referred to by Davis as "time, no changes", incorporating elements of free jazz without completely surrendering to the approach. This allowed the five musicians to simultaneously contribute to the group as equals at times, rather than to always follow the established pattern of having the group leader and then the backing musicians perform unrelated solos.

Davis solía referirse al estilo de interpretación del Segundo Gran Quinteto como "tiempo, sin cambios", incorporando elementos de free jazz sin rendirse completamente a este enfoque. Esto permitía a los cinco músicos contribuir simultáneamente al grupo como iguales en ocasiones, en lugar de seguir siempre el patrón establecido de que el líder del grupo y luego los músicos de acompañamiento interpretaran solos no relacionados.
