1949 was a year of massive change for Miles Davis, and not in a good way. It
began, in January, with him fronting the first of the recording sessions, made
with a nonet, that became generically known as The Birth Of The Cool and which,
if he had achieved nothing else of note, would have secured him a lasting place
in jazz history. It ended with him strung out on heroin, a habit that reversed
his ascent and which took him four years to break. The point at which Davis's
trajectory pivoted was his early summer booking at the Salle Pleyel concert Hall
in Paris and its immediate aftermath. About which, more in a moment.

Some of Davis's Paris performances were broadcast by French radio and these form
the greater part of Miles Davis With Tadd Dameron Revisited, which is subtitled
Live 1949 At The Royal Roost NYC & In Paris At Festival International De Jazz.
The album brings together six tracks recorded at the Roost in February and nine
from the Salle Pleyel in May. In New York, Davis co-led Tadd Dameron's Big Ten,
in Paris the Miles Davis/Tadd Dameron Quintet. Kenny Clarke was the drummer at
both locations, otherwise the personnels differ (details below).

The nonet sessions, which had been preceded by air shots of the same material
from the Roost in September 1948, did not make an instant impact on the New York
jazz audience—indeed, noises-off on the air shots suggest that some Roost
patrons were seriously underwhelmed—but they were a succès d'estime
among musicians. For the first time, Davis got out from under the perception of
him as "just" a Charlie Parker sideman and established him as a bandleader in
his own right.

Davis' self-confidence, never lacking, must have been further boosted.
Certainly, by the time he reached Paris in May 1949, he sounded cock of the
hoop. His performances at the Salle Pleyel, and sitting in at Parisian jazz
clubs, were wildly acclaimed and he was fêted everywhere he went. He began a
passionate affair with the actress Juliette Greco and spent afternoons hanging
out in fashionable Left Bank cafes with her and her friend the existentialist
philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, two of France's intellectual and cultural
megastars. The Salle Pleyel tracks on Miles Davis With Tadd Dameron Revisited,
made between May 8 and 15, reflect all this. Davis sounds supremely on top of
his game, his tone wide open and extrovert, his attack aggressive. He frequently
moves out of his default position in the trumpet's middle register, into its
upper reaches. And he plays furiously fast. This is Davis at his early-period
peak.

But the Paris trip was all too brief and Davis came down with a jolt as soon as
he returned to New York. Gigs were hard to find and he was once more a black man
in an undervalued art form in a society dominated by white people. Heroin was
everywhere Davis turned to it for consolation.

The tracks on Miles Davis With Tadd Dameron Revisited have all been released
before but the audio quality is the best ever by a country mile, something for
which the ezz-thetics label's sound restoration and remastering jedi, Michael
Brändli, deserves a salute. The New York air shots are largely irredeemable,
but those from Paris are the most important ones and with them Brändli has
woven his customary magic.
