- Summary:
- In 1973, the venerable Newport Jazz Festival (founded in 1954 by George Wein) crossed the Atlantic with Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, BB King, Roland Kirk and Miles Davis. The latter was awaited with particular eagerness by the Parisian public, who gathered at the Palais des Sports to get their ears full. The trumpet player, whose album On the Corner (1972) extended the radical exploration of jazz fusion, proceeds to weave together all the conventions in extended electric improvisations with the complicity of Reggie Lucas and Pete Cosey (guitars), Al Foster (drums), Dave Liebman (saxophones, flute), James Mtume (percussion) and Michael Henderson (bass). According to Pierre Bouteiller, who introduced this first part of the concert, the performance was "the most unusual, the most confusing, and for some the most trying" of the festival. Eric Delhaye
