These mythical, Washington, DC December dates, released for the first in this impressive six-CD compilation, are an extension of Miles Davis"s fusion LP, Live-Evil. Davis"s piercing, electronically altered trumpet tones fire up of his young Turks; keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson , percussionist Airto Moreira, saxophonist Gary Bartz, and guitarist John McLaughlin. Davis"s acoustic fans hated the adventurous and extended, jazz-rock excursions of selections like "Directions", "What I Say", and "It"s About That Time", but there was no denying the complex interplay and improvisations, especially with Jarrett"s rare Fender Rhodes electric piano and organ solos.
