I haven't heard the record yet. Some thoughts about the NYC concert.
The music desperately needed direction -- a leader to give focus to what was going on. I am not necessarily saying that the music needed Miles. Trying to imagine what he would have done would be pure speculation.
The KoB arrangements were not clever.
I came away with a greater interest in Badal Roy and tabla, as a result of his solo.
At one point, Roney and White really dug in together, which was nice.
In the balcony, the sound sucked. The sprawling ensemble made matters worse. Of course, live sound is rarely good.
It looked like Belden wasn't wearing socks.
