Live‐Evil

by Miles Davis

The 2046th greatest album of all time

Live-Evil (1971) is a hybrid album that combines live performances and studio sessions from Miles Davis's electric period, blending jazz improvisation with rock, funk, and avant-garde approaches. The recording features electric instruments and extended, often heavily edited pieces that juxtapose free-form passages with groove-oriented rhythms, reflecting Davis's move toward jazz fusion. Produced and assembled by Teo Macero, the album is notable for its experimental editing and textural contrasts that capture the transitional energy of Davis's early 1970s work.
