In October 1964, Miles Davis appeared in concert at the Teatro dell’Arte in Milan Italy with a dream quintet including himself on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on sax, Herbie Hancock at the piano, Ron Carter playing bass and Tony Williams on drums. It doesn’t get better than that! This was the era of Miles I have always preferred … when he was still innovating and not just experimenting. Even as he evolved, one thing that never changed was his adherence to his statement, “Don’t play the notes that are there. Play the notes that are not there.” The two cuts below are from that live 1964 concert … a Miles Davis original All Blues (upper) and a Miles Davis-Victor Feldman tune called Joshua (bottom).
