Originally bought this DVD in 2004. Saw it again last night. It's Excellent! I give it 5 LT Jazzy Stars Out Of 5.
On August 29th, 1970 Miles Davis and his band played to 600,000 people at the Isle of Wight Festival. When asked the title of his one track set, Miles said "Call it Anything".
This documentary dramatizes the difficult transition Miles went through during his change to an electric period in the face of extremely negative reactions from the jazz establishment. It includes in-depth interviews and musical tributes from many of his sidemen and other musicians including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Carlos Santana, Joni Mitchell, Keith Jarrett and Dave Liebman: features ecerots from many of his classic performances including "Bitches Brew" and culminates in the legendary full 38 minute concert from the Isle of Wight.
