Miles Davis: Around Midnight

About This Movie

So, 'Miles Davis: Around Midnight' is this fascinating documentary that really captures the essence of Miles and his second great quintet. The atmosphere is electric, with each performance crafted to pull you into the moment. You can feel the energy of the 1967 European tour. The interplay between the musicians, like Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums, is just captivating. Herbie Hancock's piano work and Wayne Shorter's saxophone really elevate the whole experience. It’s somewhat raw, which adds to its charm—this isn’t a polished concert film, but more like a glimpse into a jazz legend’s world. The pacing flows beautifully, drawing you into the narrative of the music itself. Quite special, really, for those who appreciate the depth of jazz.
