by the way – the four night run of shows by Miles Davis (with Chick Corea-Keith Jarrett-Jack DeJohnette-Steve Grossman and Airto) in June 1970 that become Miles Live at the Fillmore [East] was in fact, Miles opening for Laura Nyro each night – playing songs from New York Tendaberry and Christmas and the Beads of Sweat – later Miles visited Nyro in the studio at her request to add some of his magic – he listened and thought it was perfect the way it was.
