About this album
Live-Evil is one of Miles Davis’s boldest fusion statements, turning post-bop spontaneity into something darker, looser and more experimental. Issued in 1971, the double album blends live and studio material from a period when Davis was rapidly expanding his electric language, with performances shaped by players such as John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Wayne Shorter. Tracks like “Sivad”, “What I Say” and “Selim” show the music shifting between groove, abstraction and raw improvisation, while the edited sequencing underlined Davis’s restless studio vision. Widely regarded as a key document of his early-1970s transformation, it remains essential to the fusion era.
