I seem to be going through a period in which Miles Davis' music - and lots of it - is a daily necessity. Today:

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 5: Freedom Jazz Dance, disc one. The "Freedom Jazz Dance" segment is just amazing to me. Nothing is working until something Tony Williams plays causes Miles to say, "Triplets!" About two minutes later, the tune goes down in one take.

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6: The Final Tour, disc four.

Miles in the Sky.  I actually went out and bought a used copy of this today, because it's split across two discs in the Quintet box set, and I was getting frustrated at not being able to spin the album as originally programed. I particularly love "side two" - "Black Comedy" and "Country Son."

Steve Lacy-Roswell Rudd Quartet: Early and Late (Cuneiform)

This was one of those "holy grail" releases for me, for the 1962 studio session by the Lacy/Rudd Quartet. The latter-day quartet is great, too (better?). I still have my ticket stub for their 2000 Atlanta concert.

Jeff, if that's the show that I'm thinking it was, then I was there too.

Was it at the Variety Playhouse -- with about a dozen people in attendance?  with Jean-Jacques Avenel on bass?

Yes, that's the one, with a mostly-empty theater. But I just flashed on a memory - didn't the same band play a year later at the Red Light Cafe about a year later? Or was that the Lacy Trio?

Later - I just checked my notes. The March, 2001 Red Light Cafe show (almost exactly a year after the Variety quartet show) was by the trio. I know that I heard Lacy every time he came to Atlanta starting with the 1985 solo show at the old Seven Stages Theater in Little Five Points. That Red Light Cafe Show was the last time he played here.

Somewhere around 1989 (give or take a year), the Lacy Sextet had a two-night run at the Nexus Arts Center - which you're probably too young to remember. I was playing with Darryl Rhoades at the time, and we had a two-night gig at the Harvest Moon Saloon on the same nights. So I would go to the Nexus, listen to the first set by the Lacy Sextet, and then go play satirical rock with Darryl.
