Fusion wasn't always a genre to scoff at, as demonstrated on these five mostly live double CDs documenting various permutations of Miles Davis' early-'70s band. With his inimitable trumpeting by turns melancholy, pungent, and lyrical at the music's center, his electrified cohorts stretch the limits of jazz, rock, and funk. Best of the batch: Dark Magus (never before available in America), on which the band runs the voodoo down with particular ferocity. At Fillmore: B- Live-Evil: A- In Concert: A Beauty: A-Magus: A
