15-SNYL781485.2
More info below, but basically, the 3 quartet tracks which are released here for the 1st time ever are fantastic and great recordings. Chick was the Rhodes MASTER! The Isle of Wight show is a great show and if you don't already have it, this is a great release and great value.
"It would be easy to casually dismiss one CD with a running time slightly under one hour after the wealth of "box" sets from the vault, since it would seem that the number of tapes which can be cleaned up are thinning out. But this is a solid release which shows the creative electric prowess of Miles Davis and the musical energy that saw no limits on the fusion superspeedway. The hook for even casual collectors is the initial trio of unreleased tracks from the July 1969 performance at the Newport Jazz Festival, which features Chick Corea (keyboards), Dave Holland (bass) and Jack DeJohnette (drums) in a jazz/rock setting that is driven hard by the latter. Wayne Shorter was missing from the lineup due to getting stuck in traffic. The six numbers from the August 1970 Isle of Wight Festival finds Davis bolstering the sound through an expanded group - Gary Bartz (sax), Aierto Moreira (percussion), Keith Jarrett (keyboards), Corea, Holland, DeJohnette - which take themes introduced in the landmark album to new heights. Corea is essentially the lead guitarist in this sonic attack of jazz/rock/funk. The liner notes provide an interesting historical perspective and perhaps - just perhaps - this is going to start a new focus on issuing material without placing a premium on the credit card limits of fans."
