Recorded When Miles Davis Opened for the Grateful Dead in San Francisco at Fillmore West: Black Beauty Surges into a Future Jazz World, Features Superb Performances and Rich ColorsFirst-Ever Domestic Vinyl Release of 1973 Live Album: Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM 2LP Set Plays with Captivating Energy, Presence, and ClarityDateline: April 10, 1970. Setting: The storied Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA. Context: Miles Davis, three days removed from his first session for Jack Johnson and, with newly recruited soprano saxophonist Steve Grossman in tow, opening shows for countercultural heroes the Grateful Dead on the latter's home turf. Result: The initial rumblings of a thrilling era in which Davis and his cohorts would again upend jazz and popular conceptions of the genre with music steeped in groove, improvisation, and hang-on-for-your-life adventurousness. All captured on Black Beauty: Miles Davis at Fillmore West. Given Davis was only months away from releasing the pioneering Bitches Brew, it shouldn't come as a surprise that much of the fare here adheres to similar explorative approaches.Masted at MoFi's California studio, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 2LP set helps bring what went down that spring evening in Bill Graham's venue to your listening room with exceptional clarity, balance, and presence. Originally only released in Japan in 1973 and unavailable in the United States until the late '90s on compact disc, this marks the first time Black Beauty has been issued on domestic vinyl. These LPs present the band's livewire energy and torrential storm of notes with captivating dynamics, pacing, and fullness. At it's core, this audiophile reissue takes you into the walls of sound erected by a band learning on-the-fly the sheer power, will, and breadth of the electric jazz Davis was orchestrating and realizing, on the spot, would reach rock audiences that until that point had only a faint awareness of his mad-scientist experimentation.1/4' / 15 IPS ANALOG COPY DSD 256 ANALOG CONSOLE LATHENumbered 180g 33RPM Vinyl 2LPNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack ListDisc One Side A:Black Beauty Part IDisc One Side B:Black Beauty Part IIDisc Two Side A:Black Beauty Part IIIDisc Two Side B:Black Beauty Part IV
