Live Evil captures Miles Davis at his most electric and untamed, and this 2CD edition, a Holland import, presents the 1971 double album that bridged his studio experiments and the fire of his live band.

By 1970 Davis had torn up the jazz rulebook with Bitches Brew, and his touring band became a laboratory for that new sound. Much of Live Evil was recorded at the Cellar Door in Washington, D.C., in December 1970, with Keith Jarrett on keyboards, John McLaughlin on guitar, Gary Bartz on saxophones, Michael Henderson on bass and Jack DeJohnette driving the drums. Producer Teo Macero then stitched those performances together with shorter studio pieces.

"Sivad" bursts open with a churning, funk-heavy groove that barely pauses for breath, Davis's trumpet slicing through the din. "What I Say" is a relentless workout, DeJohnette pushing the band ever harder, while "Funky Tonk" lets Jarrett's distorted keyboards and McLaughlin's slashing guitar spar at full volume. In between, the studio miniature "Little Church" offers a moment of strange, delicate calm.

The contrast is the point: fury and stillness, crowd noise and studio hush, all sharing the same restless spirit.

For anyone exploring Davis's electric period, this is essential listening, raw, adventurous and endlessly rewarding.
