This is where Miles Davis turned funk into jazz, rock into soul, and chaos into beauty. With a band featuring Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on acoustic bass, John McLaughlin on electric guitar, Airto Moreira on percussion, Chick Corea on piano and myriad other explorers, Davis kept up with the times--and surpassed them. He rocked harder than Sly, got funkier than J.B., and turned jazz inside out, slicing the music open till blood spilled on to the floor. Live Evil is more focused than
Bitches Brew, which is all the more surprising since it is actually a piecemeal recording from various dates and venues--some in the studio, some on stage, but all very much l-i-v-e. --
