This is the second of two studio sessions devoted to recording Evans' program
music.
According to the notes to MQ11-164, "This score was recorded in a string of cues
to be used on tape to accompany live performances of Peter Barnes' play The
Time of the Barracudas. The cues are edited together in numerical (i.e. stage
performance) order, which works best musically. It includes the compositions 'Hotel
Me' and 'Barracudas' (aka 'General Assembly') which have since been recorded
and performed as separate compositions."
The unissued alternate version was presumably assembled by Teo Macero using the
same raw materials used to create the issued version.
The Time of the Barracudas opened at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco
on October 21. Ralph J. Gleason's review in the San Francisco Chronicle
(October 24) was not a rave: "Miles Davis' music is used in 'Time of the Barracudas'
all right and it's a good thing it is, since the play at the Curran has little
else to recommend it." The play closed on November 23 at the Huntington Hartford
in Los Angeles.
The Davis Quintet was booked for three weeks at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco
(September 3-22), but the show was closed down on the 18th: the owner was charged
with "employing a minor" -- Tony Williams! Other activity: Royce Hall, UCLA (September
28); It Club, Los Angeles (October 3-13); Adams-West Theatre (October 11-12 -- these
were "after-hours jam sessions" scheduled for 2-6 am); La Grand Salle, Place des Arts, Montreal (October 26); Showboat,
Philadelphia (November 4-10).
I am grateful to Eric Jooris for providing the review of the Montreal concert.
