The 50th Anniversary of 1971 SOME MORE
classic albums for Pledge Drive!

"Live-Evil" by Miles Davis (1971)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Miles Davis "Live-Evil"  1971 (USA)
For this week's pledge drive special, we are revisiting the 50th Anniversary of 1971 - one of the greatest years for music! A new thing exploding that year was "jazz fusion": jazz musicians playing loudly on amplified rock instruments. By my count, this was the fifth time in Miles Davis' legendary career that he was at the center of a major new innovation in jazz music - the previous instances were: 1) BeBop with Charlie Parker's band, followed by 2) "Cool" jazz in the late 1940's, 3) modal jazz in the 1950's (the template for psychedelic rock jamming), and 4) that quintet of his from the 1960's, a group so singular there isn't a name for their style because they were the only ones who could play it. Live-Evil has a lot of the epic, mystical qualities of his previous double elpee Bitches Brew, but a smaller funkier band (yet also "more space") and I think a lot of it was recorded live. Then masterfully edited into "progressive rock suites" by producer Teo Macero, the secret weapon behind Miles' many classic albums.
