Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from March 28, 2024 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Avatar 7:54pm
Flash Strap:

"Davis's trumpet and McLaughlin's guitar parts were heavily overdubbed for the recording. The overdubbing effect was created by superimposing part of Davis's trumpet solo onto other parts of it, through something Teo Macero calls a "recording loop". Macero later said of this production technique, "You hear the two parts and it's only two parts, but the two parts become four and they become eight parts. This was done over in the editing room and it just adds something to the music [...] I called [Davis] in and I said, 'Come in, I think we've got something you'll like. We'll try it on and if you like it you've got it.' He came in and flipped out. He said it was one of the greatest things he ever heard". DeJohnette's drums were also manipulated by Macero, who used an automatic switcher to have them rattle back and forth between the left and right speakers on the recording"

Miles was Meta. He stepped into Dizzy Gillespie's shoes with Bird - but he couldn't be (Bop) that. He was out ahed then of being Cool - a Stylist playing just what's right - & in just the right way. & - he pioneered with Arrangers getting whole Bands to approach those textures with 'Birth of the Cool'. When he went Electric - he outraged so many by what they saw as leaving all that Taste & Sophistication behind. But really it was the same thing in whole new areas - caring more about Sonics & Expression - & bringing out New Players not yet exposed. & he is known for his cryptic but Meta Insights & instructions to Players to get the Most out of them. 'Play like you don't now how to play' - maybe. Who knows ! Taking the subtle understandings of the Tasteful Stylists into other Dimensions, maybe could be said...

Ha. That's great. What a meeting of two temperaments. That Miles should be the conciliatory one says much of Crosby's capacity to be opinionated...
There's also the story of the younger Crosby being high & seeing the Coltrane Quartet Live & being just pinned to the wall by it. So he goes to the restroom ...& Trane comes in - still playing @ max intensity - giving Dave no relief...

Always nice to test a hypothesis. By playing this after Go Ahead John I could examine whether I actually get it or just liked the tune. I get it.

↳ Song: "Funk / Turnaroundphrase / For Dave" by "Miles Davis"
"The curtain lifts with the clattering of a wah’d drum machine and some organ clusters from Miles before Michael Henderson drops in with the force of an atom bomb. Having inexplicably leveled up since our last tape, Henderson goes in hard to start the show and is overdriven to the edge of feedback throughout – dig how he lays out a few minutes in and lets his bass howl on one note for a good 60 seconds. Already, the way in which every member of the octet is in lockstep here compared to the previous month’s chaotic Keystone Korner tape is remarkable. Much of that is due to the guitarists having taken on distinct roles: Gaumont layering waves of feedback between flights of Hendrix-inspired indulgence, Pete Cosey supplying gobs of heavily modulated riffs and occasional theatrics, and Reggie Lucas stepping out from behind the steady throb of the wah to solo at will. Even Liebman seems to have enmeshed himself into the tapestry, weaving in horn lines as he pleases rather than simply taking his turn in the spotlight and laying back.

The transition into “Turnaroundphrase” is remarkable; Miles drops a whiff of the melody, Henderson begins layering the bass riff overtop and the band falls in line as if by crossfade. This set feels like a single organism – just an unbroken explosion of sound loosely based around the skeletal structure of familiar riffs. A subdued organ + percussion intro to “For Dave” is our first cooldown of the set and it’s executed beautifully, setting a moody backdrop for a superb soprano solo from Liebman as Cosey heightens the intensity with a few well-timed jabs on electric 12-string. Some great interplay between Cosey and Miles (on organ) ratchets up the intensity until a monster turn from Gaumont brings it to a peak and Miles surveys the plateau with a remarkable wah’d horn solo – listen for that squeaky pedal as things turn quiet.

Miles brings the tune to a close with a series of ultra-precise stop/starts, each emerging more gargantuan than the next until a heavy percussion duel between Cosey and Mtume puts it to rest.

As essential as it gets."

yeah, what Flash said -"what a boob"!
the story told below, involving Graham Nash is probably the accurate one...and yes probably Cros was just not in the right headspace, and must've had different expectations. (although, if he had other expectations, clearly wasn't very familiar with Miles!)

from CSNY tour tales, it really seems like Crosby was basically totally deranged & disassociative at that time

It's actually disappointing - cause the other side of Crosby is supposedly he was the one who brought Coltrane & Ravi Shankar to the BYrdS (& George Harrison for that matter) - & supposedly had the broader views...
