Get Up With It is an album collecting tracks recorded between 1970 and 1974 by Miles Davis. Released on November 22, 1974 as a double LP, it was Davis's last studio album before five years of retirement from music.
"He Loved Him Madly" is a half-hour jazz dirge in tribute to Duke Ellington, who died shortly before it was recorded; Brian Eno cited it as a lasting influence on him after 1981 [1].
