Miles Davis: Miles Electric - A Different Kind of Blue

Arts Documentary with no narration published by Eagle Vision in 2004 - English language



Information
------------------------------

When he released Bitches Brew in 1970, Miles Davis opened up a new angle to jazz which stirred up emotions like no other record before. Some critics accused Davis of selling out, while the public bought it like crazy. This film shows the songs performed live at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival.
On August 29th, 1970 Miles Davis and his band played to 600.000 people at the Isle of Wight Festival. When asked the title of his one track set, Miles said "Call It Anything". This documentary dramatizes the difficult transition Miles went through during his change to an electric period in the face of extremely negative reactions from the jazz establishment. It includes in-depth interviews and musical tributes from many of his sidemen and other musicians including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Carlos Santana, Joni Mitchell, Keith Jarrett and Dave Liebman; features excerpts from many of his classic performances including Bitches Brew and culminates in the legendary full 38 minute concert from the Isle of Wight.

Producer/Director: Murray Lerner ; An MLF and Pulsar Production with Eagle Rock Entertainment Ltd.
