MILES DAVIS SEPTET
Cologne 1971 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Sartory Festsaal, Cologne, Germany; November 12, 1971. Very good Westdeutscher Radio (WDR) radio broadcast.

After playing a lot of these white rock halls, I was starting to wonder why I shouldn’t be trying to get to young black kids with my music. They were into funk, music they could dance to. It took me a while to really get into the concept all the way… Jack DeJohnette left the group late in 1971, around the same time Keith Jarrett left. I wanted the drummer to play certain funk rhythms… I didn’t want the band playing totally free all the time, because I was moving closer to the funk groove in my head. - Miles: The Autobiography

Thanks to hooligan3244 for sharing the tracks at Dime.

In 2006, for the first time uploaded on Dime by jkeisers, in 2010 an incomplete version of this show by blacksatin and; also in 2010, the complete one upped by hreinders. It’s a great show in fantastic 1971 audio quality.
