We would do two or three pieces that were just strung together, one right after another for the whole concert, and we would make this wonderful, wonderful\u003cbr\u003ecomposition.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeremy Erwin\u003c\/strong\u003e has described the one-continuous-piece-of-music set they played in Vienna in October 1969 as “supremely weird” starting with “one of the more abstract versions” of \u003cem\u003eBitches Brew\u003c\/em\u003e. Given that Miles was sharing the bill with \u003cstrong\u003eLionel Hampton\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDuke Ellington\u003c\/strong\u003e as part of \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Wein\u003c\/strong\u003e’s Newport Jazz Festival in Europe tour, it is perhaps not surprising that a large part of the audience walked out during the first ten minutes. But those who remained went on to witness a shining Wayne Shorter quoting from Super Nova throughout on Agitation; a slow-burning, fifteen-minute version of \u003cem\u003eMiles Runs The Voodoo Down\u003c\/em\u003e, and a classic set-closer, \u003cem\u003eI Fall in Love Too Easily\u003c\/em\u003e\/\u003cem\u003eSanctuary\u003c\/em\u003e. In Erwin’s view “the bandleader knew that a dose of serenity was the only resolution to a set as batty as this one.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ‘never-recorded \u003cem\u003eLost Quintet\u003c\/em\u003e’ that toured Europe in October\/November 1969 had spent the preceding August rehearsing and recording a new double LP set \u003cem\u003eBitches Brew\u003c\/em\u003e, within a kind of rock big band lineup. But here there was no \u003cstrong\u003eJohn McLaughlin\u003c\/strong\u003e on guitar; \u003cstrong\u003eWayne Shorter\u003c\/strong\u003e was on saxophones, Chick Corea on Fender Rhodes, \u003cstrong\u003eDave Holland\u003c\/strong\u003e on bass and \u003cstrong\u003eJack \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeJohnette\u003c\/strong\u003e on drums. This Quintet did record for Columbia in November 1968, but the session was not issued until 1981 on the \u003cem\u003eDirections\u003c\/em\u003e album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhythm and Blues Records","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl LP","offer_id":59880303788377,"sku":"SDZ-24053","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/PID-19135-96-001.png?v=1791889669","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/miles-davis-quintet-live-in-vienna-october-1969","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
