  1. ‘It’s the story of what happens when the music stops’: bringing tormented jazz legend Bill Evans to life
    By John Lewis

    Having directed documentaries about David Bowie, Radiohead and Joy Division, Grant Gee takes on a biopic of the turbulent and tragic American pianist

  2. `Motian noted, "We were supposed to make a record date with Miles [Davis]: the trio, Bill, myself and Scott. ... We were talking to Miles about it, it was all set up, and then Scott got killed and the whole thing got forgotten."`

  3. Dokumentarfilmperle – „Soundtrack für einen Staatsstreich“ (2024)

    Es beginnt mit einer Jazznummer. Kein Vorspann, kein erklärender Off-Kommentar. Stattdessen: Trommeln, Bläser, flackernde Schwarzweißbilder – und plötzlich sind wir mittendrin im Jahr 1960. In Kongo. Afrika im Kalten Krieg. In einem Netz aus kolonialer Gier, geopolitischer Intrige und kultureller Täuschung. Ein fantastisch gemachter und unbedingt sehenswerter Dokumentarfilm! (ARTE)

  4. Miles Davis - Jack Johnson

    I've read multiple conflicting accounts of how this album came together. Despite it being two tracks (Side A - Right Off; Side B - Yesternow), it was edited together by Teo Macero from a bunch of separate sessions.

    But whatever the truth is, the band absolutely cooks. Probably my favorite "Electric Miles" album.

  9. Miles Davis and Milt Jackson - Quintet / Sextet

    Or should I say Miles Da Vis? (Sheesh, that some kerning.)

    Hard to believe this came out *four weeks* after Blue Moods back in the mid-50s. Anyway, it’s a nice gathering of top players, including Jackie McLean (whom Davis had critical words about his drug use, but he seems to be in fine form).

    incredible radio broadcast from the japan tour that later yielded AGHARTA/PANGAEA. after opening up something like '#ambient jazz' with IN A SILENT WAY & dense freeform electrofusion groove w/BITCHES BREW and ON THE CORNER (+related dates), miles dove for ocean-floor #psychedelia, filling cavernous beat-space w/protometal textures (pete cosey!!) and knifepoint funk moves. hard #afrofuturist noise. pair w/live 72-73 #mwandishi.
