But then there is Miles Davis. Up to 1970 he already did so much of interest. And then there are all these other years. I'm a latecomer to the 70-90's Miles, in part because of the partial reviews. But now: "Live around the world" is among my top 5 Miles albums, and then there is Pangea, Agharta, Black Magus, etc. I am unpleasantly surprised at the relatively low score of this DVD--could that be due to the antagonism caused by the later output? Among the strong features of this DVD are the interviews of the mid 80's, of the man himself, but also of the mother of his first child, his first wife, and luminaries such as Marcus Miller, Mclaughlin, Liebman, Bill Evans, and let's not forget, the legend, Herbie HANCOCK, all from the mid 80's-early 90's. I'd like to have seen more of the 1st quintet and JC's part in cementing MD's stature, but then there is the 2nd quintet, and they are introduced marvelously in this CD. There are reminiscences of Ron Carter and Clark Terry (the earlier days). I very much enjoyed this documentary. It goes from the beginning (extensively) through the end, and it does a good job.
