Our Take

MILES DAVIS Live Evil is a chaotic masterpiece that blurs the lines between jazz, rock, and experimental noise. This double album captures Davis at his most electrifying, with each track building tension and releasing it in a frenzy of improvisational brilliance.

The opening track, "Sivad," sets the tone for the entire album with its relentless energy and blistering solos. Davis' trumpet wails and shrieks in a cacophony of sound that is both thrilling and unsettling. The band, featuring heavy hitters like John McLaughlin and Jack DeJohnette, create a wall of sound that is both dense and mesmerizing.

Tracks like "Inamorata" showcase Davis' ability to create beauty out of chaos, with delicate melodies intertwining with dissonant chords in a breathtaking display of skill. The live setting only adds to the intensity of the music, with the audience's energy palpable throughout the recording.

Live Evil is not an easy listen, but for those willing to dive into its depths, it is a rewarding experience. Davis pushes the boundaries of what jazz can be, creating a sound that is both challenging and exhilarating. This is not background music – this is music that demands your full attention and rewards it with moments of pure brilliance.

In conclusion, Miles Davis Live Evil is a wild ride that will leave you both exhausted and exhilarated. Strap in, turn up the volume, and prepare to be blown away. Miles Davis has once again proven why he is one of the greatest musicians of all time.

Despite his tumultuous personal life and battles with addiction, Davis continued to create music that resonated with audiences around the world.
