| | Miles Davis In Person At The Blackhawk Vol. 2 CD Miles Davis Discography of CDs
Much of the greatest live jazz has been recorded in homey dens of iniquity such as San Francsico's own Blackhawk, and from the opening blast of Monk's classic "Well You Needn't," through the dynamic overdrive of "Oleo," it's clear that the band and this Saturday night crowd are locked into the kind of positive, self-generating vibe that encourages vivid, risky improvisations.
Prior to the departure of the classic Kelly-Chambers-Cobb rhythm section (the KIND OF BLUE team) in 1963, Miles was in the midst of his so-called show tune period, which consisted of jazz classics and pop tunes taken at brisk, swinging tempos, suffused in the same funky hard bop bluesiness of Mingus, Cannonball and Blakey's Messengers. The harmonic sophistication of his collaborations with Gil Evans notwithstanding, the more modern advances of Coltrane, Coleman and Taylor would have to wait for the arrival of the Hancock-Carter-Williams rhythm axis.
SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE BLACKHAWK features some of this band's most engaging repertoire (plus some solos edited out of the original release). After the coy, teasing lyricism of "Fran Dance," the band worked itself into a fine lather, and Miles really stretches out over the tight, passionate groove on "So What." Cobb's brushes, Chambers' translucent bass lines and Kelly's funky understatement give "Oleo" its epic power, and "If I Were A Bell" its charm. Miles' rocking "Neo" moves confidently from a mannered soul waltz through a chanting minor blowing section which anticipates Coltrane's Spanish tinge on "Ole," inspiring Mobley's most yearning, hazardous solo, bold orchestral flourishes from Kelly, and a pair of magnificent Davis arias, full of bent notes and crying smears.
