Description
Down Beat Magazine – June 13, 1968 (Vol. 35 No. 12) – Jeremy Steig, Miles Davis Cover
This vintage issue of Down Beat Magazine highlights flutist Jeremy Steig and his innovative group the Satyrs. In Potential Unlimited, Alan Heineman explores their unique blend of jazz, rock, blues, and beyond, showcasing Steig’s eclectic approach to sound. Another major feature is Part I of the Blindfold Test with Miles Davis, offering candid and insightful reactions from one of jazz’s greatest visionaries.
Other standout features include J.C. Thomas’ profile of Sun Ra and his Space Arkestra, Pete Welding’s interview with Al Wilson of Canned Heat, and Stanley Dance’s coverage of the Saints and Sinners, a group finding greater acclaim in Europe than in their homeland. Ira Gitler provides a report on the growing relationship between jazz and education in Jazz Goes to School, while Frank Smith begins a two-part instructional series on adapting Indian ragas into rock music.
The issue also includes extensive record reviews, live coverage of the Berklee Jazz Festival and the Archie Shepp Sextet, Art Hodes’ Sittin’ In column, and the comprehensive “Where & When” jazz attraction guide. A highly collectible issue capturing the cutting edge of late-1960s jazz, fusion, and experimentation.
