Merci, Miles! Live at Vienne captures one of Miles Davis's final concerts, released for the first time as a double CD.
Recorded in 1991 at the Roman amphitheatre in Vienne, France, on the opening night of its jazz festival, the show took place only months before his death. Yet there's no sense of a farewell tour here. Davis leads a tight band featuring saxophonist Kenny Garrett through music that is funky, modern and fiercely alive, with the trumpeter clearly relishing the crowd.
"Hannibal" opens the set on a strutting groove, all fat bass and crisp drums. His version of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" had become a signature by this time, and here it unfolds slowly with Davis's muted horn floating over shimmering keys. "Time After Time," the Cyndi Lauper ballad he loved to play, is delicate and patient, while "Amandla" brings warm, melodic interplay between trumpet and saxophone.
The playing throughout is loose but focused, and Garrett in particular burns with energy in his solos.
For fans of electric-era Miles, this is a moving and valuable document, the sound of a restless innovator still pushing forward right to the end. It's a fitting tribute to a musician who never stopped looking ahead.
