This DVD shows clearly what Miles represented on 20th century music. He was much more than just an icon, he was a magnificent musician and creator, a fantastic trumpeter with a unique sound and style. All members of the band on this 1970 date on the Isle of Wight festival became, on next years, musical legends and leaders on their own right of the chief bands to come. The line-up shows Corea,Jarrett,Holland,Bartz and DeJohnette in the beginning of their succesful careers but showing already incredible talent and originality.
Miles himself is in superb form playing the entire range of his dark Martin Committee trumpet with an almost super human strenght. He called the single 38 minute theme on the date "Call it anything" when asked and it is due the song is made of some suites taken from previous year Bitches Brew album.
Additional interviews with musicians friends are on the money also.
Anyone interested in jazz or simply in good music should take a look on this seminal and sublime moment of creation.

I just can't get enough of Miles ... watching him create his masterful art is unlike any entertainment you can experience. Miles shows his abilities and attributes in this video. His comments are insightful.

Review created: 11/04/07

It wouldn't surprise me if this docuconcert won a Grammy or an Oscar or both. I can't presume to offer anything more substantial about this dvd than you might already have access to (esp. the review on epinions). However, to be useful, I can list the scene selection as found in the lovely brochure accompanying the dvd. It's a whole lotta typing but--what the hey--this dvd is worthy. The dvd runs for 123 minutes, 38 minutes of which is the Isle of Wight concert.

SCENE SELECTION:

1. A Spiritual Orgasm
2. "So What" Kind of Blue 1964
3. Fender Rhodes Piano The New Electric Toy
4. Bitches Brew Shaking The Foundations
5. Betty Davis and Miles' Hard Core Rock
6. Boxing, Improvisation and Miles' Music
7. Caught Up In The Craziness Of The Sixties
8. The Critics' Jazz - The Dirty Word
9. Embracing The Shock Of Electricity
10. The Isle Of Wight - The Sidemen
11. ***Call It Anything*** The Isle Of Wight Concert 1970
12. Tributes To Miles' Genius
13. End Credits
