At the same time the rhythmic changed from tertiary jazz rhythm to binary rock rhythm. A great part of the studio tracks recorded during these years were only released in the second half of the 70's and first half of the 80's on various compilations.īeginning with 'In a silent way' Miles used mainly riffs or short segments and more often just simple rhythmic figures that would serve as a base for collective improvisation. Columbia released four studio records 'In a silent way'(1969), 'Bitches Brew' (1970), 'A tribute to Jack Johnson' (1970), 'On the Corner' (1972) and an important number of live records (some released on vinyl only in Japan) : 'Black Beauty'/Live at the Fillmore West (1970), 'Live-Evil' (1970), 'Dark Magus' (1974) 'Agharta' (1975), 'Pangaea' (1975). In these years Miles distributed an important part to jazz rock. The "electric" period of Miles Davis started in 1969 and ended in1975 when Miles retired due to health problems until the end of the seventies. Only a few musicians have mastered like him to shape new forms and set aesthetic milestones. He played on various early bebop records, recorded one of the first cool jazz records, developped modal jazz, and was a pioneer in jazz rock. Having been a painter himself, and not unlike Pablo Picasso he tried to renew himself in all periods of his life. He was in a constant search for new forms of expression. Miles Davis was not only a gifted musician (trumpet and composition) but also a major artist of the twentieth century.
