DMOO 064LP
|
At Newport 1958 has the aural dynamite that marked the performing debut of Jimmy Cobb and Bill Evans with the Miles Davis Sextet and it's a thrilling set from start to finish. Just a few months before Kind Of Blue, they hit listeners with an awesome take of Charlie Parker's "Au-Leu-Cha," with Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley in full swing, and on Thelonius Monk's "Straight No Chaser," Evans introduces unusual harmonic chords, the group moving heaven and earth for their own direction. "Fran-Dance," "Two Bass Hit," "Bye Bye Blackbird," and "The Theme" continue the hard-bop brilliance; get it now and play loud and often!

The Jazz Track LP has an unusual backstory. The bulk of the album is Miles' evocative improvised score for Louis Malle's Elevator To The Gallows (1959), a proto-new wave film about a bungled crime of passion. Davis cut this on the fly with a Parisian pick-up band, the work holding dramatic tension and moody features. In the USA this soundtrack was reissued as Jazz Track with three additional songs first issued on a ten-inch the year before, the last of his work with Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane, and the first with Bill Evans; "On Green Dolphin Street," "Fran-Dance," and "Stella By Starlight" are all stone-cold classics.

Complex, emotive, and straddling several genres, Sketches Of Spain is one of Miles Davis' masterpieces, a landmark of orchestrated jazz. The third of his collaborations with Gil Evans, Sketches was inspired by the classical Concierto de Aranjuez, which sparked the suite that makes up the LP. Drummers Jimmy Cobb and Elvin Jones and bassist Paul Chambers reconfigured their approaches to blend with the orchestra under Evans' command and Davis uses a muted flugelhorn for the epic opener; his solo on "Saeta" is blinding and the adapted Andalusian folk song "Solea" draws on flamenco. This absolute stunner is a must-have!

A modal masterpiece from 1959, Kind of Blue is a true classic that never gets old, no matter how many times you listen to it. Bill Evans' understated piano is the perfect foil for Miles' melodies, contrasted by the soaring alto sax of Cannonball Adderley; Jimmy Cobb and Paul Chambers keep the rhythm section steady but unobtrusive, allowing Miles and Cannonball to shine. "So What" and "Freddie Freeloader" are seductive, deceptive gems, imparting all the frustration, begrudging and joy as only a great jazz record can; "Blue In Green" and "All Blue" have melancholy hues and "Flamenco Sketches" is a precursor to "Sketches Of Spain." Every household should have at least one copy of Kind Of Blue, one of the greatest records ever made.

The last of the collaborative LPs Miles Davis recorded with Gil Evans for Columbia, Quiet Nights is easily the most controversial. Following the success of Sketches Of Spain, Davis and Evans aimed to further the Latin explorations, this time pointing to Brazil, as heard on the adaptation of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Corcovado" and Joao Gilberto's "Aos Pés Da Cruz," with its stellar Ron Carter bass accompaniment, though some were surprised by the brevity of the proceedings, including Miles himself. Nevertheless, those who get to know the album will appreciate its intricacies, the product of the pair's unique creative chemistry.

RANDB 105LP

New lower pricing. "The return!!! After a nine-year hiatus from recording studio albums, Miles Davis returned in 1981 with a bang.

The album features R&B legend Marcus Miller on bass, Mike Stern on guitar, electric band alumni Al Foster on drums, and many more. Produced and edited by long term Miles Davis collaborator Teo Macero. Pressed on crystal clear vinyl with Japanese stylized insert and deluxe obi strip. Remastered from the original analog tapes."

Miles Davis, the so called "dark magus", caught in full electric flight in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1974 featuring Dave Liebman on soprano and tenor sax and flute, the electric guitars tandem of Reggie Lucas and Dominique Gaumont, the bass anchor of Michael Henderson, and the deep groove of Al Foster on drums and James "Mtume" Forman on percussion. This was Miles's mid-seventies band, a great coalition of young talents ready to set stages on fire with their visionary funk explorations.

Miles Davis Sextet, live from the Fillmore West Auditorium, San Francisco April 9th, 1970. The revolutionary Bitches Brew was released on March 30th, 1970. By that time, Miles Davis had started performing in rock venues, bringing his music to a much broader audience. His remarkable band displays near telepathic interplay throughout the fiery, confrontational performance captured on this set, originally broadcast on KSAN-FM. Taking the form of one continuous piece, it's a vital and exciting document of one of jazz's greatest innovators at his peak.

"Pressed on translucent red vinyl. Miles Davis was on the verge of forming one of his most acclaimed ensembles in 1964. It was this year that he travelled to perform in Japan for the first time, bringing with him 3/4ths of the musicians that would form his famed 'second great quartet'; Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on double bass, and Tony Williams on drums. In addition the jazz legend brought along saxophonist Sam Rivers to replace the recently exited George Coleman, who was primarily a free jazz musician, but had a long and extensive background in bebop. Davis and Rivers never developed any major chemistry between each other during the trip, and frequently found their distinct styles (Davis' cool and subdued traditional bop style contrasting with Rivers' wild but controlled avant-garde wandering) frequently clashing (or perhaps duelling) in their performances. But for all Davis and Rivers might not have meshed together, the crowd at Tokyo's Kohseinenkin Hall enjoyed it immensely. Davis himself reserved a special kind of respect and admiration for his Japanese audience as well, temporarily dropping his habit of exiting the stage during his fellow musicians' solos. Rivers would ultimately be dismissed from the group at the end of their trip, leading to the arrival of Wayne Shorter, and the inception of the 'second great quartet.' The partnership of Miles Davis and Sam Rivers may have been short-lived, but it did produce the live album Miles In Tokyo nearly five years later. The record is a rare jewel in Miles Davis' discography, featuring high-energy live versions of songs by Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter, and Richard Carpenter, as well as a restlessly fast-paced take on the Davis staple 'So What'. This collection has previously only been available in Japan, but is now presented on vinyl for the first time in America by Get On Down. Miles In Tokyo is a must-have for completionists of free jazz, bop, and avant-garde alike."

"In Concert is a live double recorded in 1972 at the Philharmonic Hall in New York City. This album brings the funk from the outstanding studio sessions that brought On The Corner, with a taste of the sonic boom captured in Agharta and Pangaea. 'Rated X' kicks off the album starting from a rhythmic babble to a swelling wave of funk, until Mike Henderson enters in the middle of Miles's wah-wah trumpet solo. Throughout the concert its Mtume's congos, Badal Roy's tablas and Khalil Balakrishna's sitar that make this album a spicy world music gumbo, another brew that Miles masterfully stirs with his trumpet."

Following the 1949 and 1950 recordings compiled on Birth Of The Cool (1957), which created the sub-genre of cool jazz, Miles Davis had already moved onto the next thing, because that's what an innovator does. By 1951 he was recording hard bop of the highest order on a variety of formats, including 10" and 7". This LP compiles a number of those recordings, and the fact that the entire record was recorded on one day, October 5, 1951, would be surprising if it weren't the one and only Miles Davis. Featuring Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Walter Bishop, Jr., Tommy Potter, and Jackie McLean in his very first recording session, this is classic '50s Miles Davis.
