‘Miles At The Fillmore – Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series Vol. 3’ Called A Sensational Set – Album Reviews

Wanna hear Miles gone wild? Listen to Miles At The Fillmore. The sensationally disruptive, four-record set presents a newly linear, and complete, rendering of the jazz icon’s historic attempt to give rock audiences a taste of their own (hallucinogenic) medicine. … As these recordings show, Miles utterly flipped the hippie script. Psychedelic rock pivoted on treating blues with the improvisational daring of jazz, while Miles used an original brand of jazz to rethink psychedelia. … The new Fillmore represents the third in an impeccable series of Bootleg releases from Miles. 5 Stars. – New York Daily News

Make no mistake, this music is a revelation. Miles is on peerless form and the band is a an absolute beast. – Jazzwise

Powerful and endlessly inventive, his playing here is as strong as on Live in Europe 1969. – All About Jazz

These are performances that can rattle in your head with intellectual vigor or rumble in your gut with pure emotive power. It’s an exciting moment in Davis’ career. – PopMatters

Here is one of the historic gigs of the past half century of jazz released for the first time in complete unedited form. … With his musicians Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and Airto Moreira – a who’s who from that era – he began making some of the most formally adventurous and exploratory music of his entire life. He was experimenting as much as John Coltrane a few years before but in an entirely different way. 4 Stars. – The Buffalo News

Those paying attention to the shape of jazz in the late ‘60s knew that what trumpeter Miles Davis was doing was utterly pioneering — and much of that came from his classic 1969 set Bitches Brew and the flood of albums that would follow. This fabulous 4-CD set further elaborates on the picture. … This new set collects the Fillmore (both coasts) performances, allows them to stretch out without editing. … A vital period for both jazz and Miles Davis, and now there’s more. – Yahoo! Music
