Title: Funk driven, open improv
Review: I am not a fan of golden-age jazz, and the Miles I love is the Miles of Bitches Brew, and not Kind of Blue. We Want Miles is far from traditional jazz, and is really funk-driven, with wonderful energy and riffs, and Jean Pierre as a recurring theme. This tour is usually considered as part of Miles' cocaine period, and I believe that in the vast majority of cases cocaine utterly ruins the spirit of vituoso music. But with the funk basis, somehow the music not only works, it excells. Sparse funky bass riffs with Miles's careening improvisations are beautifully complementary. This remains one of my five favorite Miles albums of all time. I highly recommend it.
