Miles Davis: What It Is - Montreal 7/7/83 12" (RSD 2022)
This double LP release features one of Miles Davisā final great bands: John Scofield on guitar, Bill āThe Other Bill Evansā Evans on saxophones, flute and electric piano, Darryl Jones on bass, Al Foster on drums, and percussionist Mino Cinelu. Miles was back in amazing form (āincandescent and iridescent as ever,ā critic Greg Tate noted), when he mounted the stage at the Theatre St-Denis during the Festival International De Jazz De Montreal in July 1983, and this revelatory performance has been lovingly mixed and mastered for its first ever release, on vinyl for Record Store Day 2022. (A CD will be part of the next edition of the Miles Davis Bootleg Series, focusing on the 1981-1985 period, later in the year.)
What It Is includes tracks from that yearās release Star People, the Marcus Miller tune āHopscotchā and the song āJean-Pierreā that appeared on 1982ās We Want Miles. The recordings of āWhat It Isā and āThatās What Happenedā were so well thought of by Miles that he utilized them for his 1984 release Decoy, but in heavily edited form and this release would include the first release of them in complete form. Packaged in beautiful gatefold packaging, the album features liner notes penned by the incomparable music journalist Greg Tate and represent some of his final writing.
