Disc 1Sorry, slightly out, must have got the 12 from it being 22nd or something, still somewhat fluey, like.This i sthe Amazon description plus some info supplied from a review
On his tour of Japan in early 1975, Miles Davis presented some of the most searing, electric fusion ever heard in concert. The performances on this 2CD set, FM broadcast, hail from a January 22 gig at Shinjuku Kohseinenkin Hall in Tokyo. Staged ten days earlier than the February 1 shows at which his Agharta and Pangaea LPs were recorded, this includes some songs not contained on those albums, and spotlights one of the most adventurous bands Davis assembled. 1. Prelude & Funk (21:47) 1st set2. Maiysha (15:45) 1st set3. Ife (18:21) 2nd set
Disc 2
1. Mtume (4:11) 2nd set2. Turnaroundphrase (5:19) 2nd set3. Tune In 5 (4:06) 2nd set4. Untitled (10:26) - actually "Hip Skip" 2nd set

so '73, not '75

No that hi hat is from the same tour as Agharta/Pangaea in 75. I was listening to the circulated bootleg last night. It's one of a few dates from that tour I have.Also got a couple of NYC from the same year. He retired for a few years at some point that year.
― Stevolende, Friday, 7 August 2015 06:40 (nine years ago) link
Also forgot to mention there's video of I think the Tokyo show from that 73 tour. I know I had it, not sure if I still do.

― Brakhage, Saturday, 8 August 2015 19:47 (nine years ago) link
So is this 1-22-75 set on HiHat worth buying? Amazon prices for it are ok; mainly wondering about sound quality, since it's FM broadcast (like a home tape?)
― dow, Tuesday, 25 August 2015 23:22 (nine years ago) link
of course would also be nice if the performances are distinctively good
― dow, Tuesday, 25 August 2015 23:23 (nine years ago) link
Is it worth getting if you've already got Agharta and Pangaea? (I've got 80s Japanese imports of Dark Magus and Black Beauty, for that matter; not lacking for this era of Miles, but could use some more, if it's good)
― dow, Tuesday, 25 August 2015 23:27 (nine years ago) link
Everything from that era is good, for Pete Cosey as much as (if not more than, sometimes) for Miles. I have that concert under the title Another Unity.

I'm already ia at seeing an AKG d112 bass drum microphone being used to mic a trumpet section (and several decades before that model of mic existed).

I can't tell a whole lot from that clip, but I can't say it looks bad.

The casting still bugs me; Cheadle looks more like Sammy Davis Jr. than he does Miles. I would have preferred to see Michael Wright as Miles. But I guess it's Cheadle's project, so...

idg why anyone makes these movies, they're so pointless
― Οὖτις, Friday, 9 October 2015 20:41 (eight years ago) link
I'm not big on insisting on the actor who looks the most like the subject, but Cheadle's presence/bravado might be a bit lacking.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Friday, 9 October 2015 20:42 (eight years ago) link
I'd rather just watch some stock footage of real miles myself. actors playing musicians have mainly been mediocre to absolute shite in recent history.

yeah it's not exactly a rich tradition. Kurt Russell did a good Elvis and Kilmer is v funny as Jimbo but ... yeah that's all I got

Movies about fictional musicians are nearly always superior to movies about real ones, probably because the writers can't fall back on "and THAT was the moment where THAT THING happened!" and the actors can't fall back on trying to do an impression.

I'm not crazy about big sweeping trying-to-be-accurate biopics; much prefer either an idiosyncratic approach or a focus on a specific short time period. Not that those kinds of films don't often suck too (last days eg)
― brimstead, Friday, 9 October 2015 21:05 (eight years ago) link
Or that horrific vh1 movie where Lennon and McCartney hang out circa mid 1970s
― brimstead, Friday, 9 October 2015 21:08 (eight years ago) link
Whereas Five Heartbeats, the Commitments, That Thing You Do, Crazy Heart all come to mind as examples of at least decent fictional musician movies.

isn't this film focusing on a barely-covered period of miles' life?
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 9 October 2015 21:15 (eight years ago) link
nah I hate all those movies too (well, Crazy Heart was okay)
did you not like Eddie and the Cruisers

― Οὖτις, Friday, 9 October 2015 21:15 (eight years ago) link
that clip is clearly not from the late 70s
I assume that was either from Miles Ahead or Sketches of Spain? I haven't listened to either in a while but I assume the guy at the piano is supposed to be Gil Evans.
― on entre O.K. on sort K.O. (man alive), Friday, 9 October 2015 21:17 (eight years ago) link
I would guess Miles Ahead since that's also the title of the film. And it doesn't sound like Birth of the Cool.

right...but movies are usually ~ 2 hours long
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Friday, 9 October 2015 21:23 (eight years ago) link
the movie is set in the late 70s when miles was retired, but there are flashbacks to the glory days, or something.
― tylerw, Friday, 9 October 2015 21:23 (eight years ago) link

Miles would be better served by a 45 minute movie comprised of a single scene of him sitting in his penthouse suite with the curtains drawn snorting coke and making abusive phonecalls to his ex-wives

Oh. The Gil Evans records are probably the Miles I've spent the least time with other than maybe 80s Miles.

i wonder where this will rank on the jazz instrument miming scale, where Bird is on the bottom, Whiplash is very near the bottom, and Mo' Better Blues is near the top. Round Midnight has to be at the top for actually having live performances (did Kansas City as well? can't remember).

i was just talking in general, i don't have an opinion on the miles movie
― brimstead, Friday, 9 October 2015 22:18 (eight years ago) link
but i mean, yeah, that was one of the things that made me intrigued to see it
Was Round Midnight based on Bud powell or Dexter Gordon? I can't remember. It did seem like a half decent movie.
― xelab, Friday, 9 October 2015 22:23 (eight years ago) link
Bud Powell I guess, but Dexter Gordon starred in it.

Cheadle actually played the trumpet in years past (no idea how serious his studies were), and he looks very convincing in the clip. Also, far more astute Miles aficionados than I have told me that Cheadle is holding the horn exactly as Miles did.
