Miles Davis: On The Corner / Get Up With It

Read "On The Corner / Get Up With It" reviewed by Todd S. Jenkins

by Todd S. Jenkins

Columbia/Legacy is embarking upon a hot fusion reissue program, reshaping many of their classic albums via digital technology to make the roots of today’s music more relevant. Among the first reissues slated for 2000 are two of Miles Davis’ most misunderstood but oddly influential offerings, “On The Corner” and “Get Up With It”. At the “On ...

Louis Armstrong: Satch Plays Fats / Ambassador Satch / Satchmo The Great

Read "Satch Plays Fats / Ambassador Satch / Satchmo The Great" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Rumination. Gigabytes of criticism, consideration, and reconsideration have been expended on every note Louis Armstrong exhaled from his trumpet. I have nothing to add other than just the facts, ma'am. These three releases have be floated as a prelude to the release of the Complete Hot Fives and Sevens later this month. All of these discs ...

Ornette Coleman: Complete Science Fiction Sessions

Read "Complete Science Fiction Sessions" reviewed by Derek Taylor

by Derek Taylor

Before the arrival of this recent reissue Ornette Coleman's brief, but fertile stint for Columbia Records was spread across a hopelessly convoluted morass of LPs and CDs, import and domestic. The folks at Columbia, who have over the past few years re-hipped themselves to the wealth of music bursting the seams in their vaults, targeted their ...

Ornette Coleman: Skies of America

Read "Skies of America" reviewed by Derek Taylor

by Derek Taylor

Jazz and Classical music have always been uneasy bedfellows and Third Stream pairings of the two have rarely, if ever, resulted in unqualified successes. The blurred boundaries between the genres are commonly drawn along the lines of improvisation; the assumption being that jazz is an improvised music and Classical composed. This convenient divider becomes immediately problematic ...

Louis Armstrong: The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings

Read "The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

July 4, 2000, Little Rock, AR. Perpetuating a Myth. It was recently determined that Louis Armstrong's birthday is August 4, 1901. Armstrong himself is on record as stating his birthday as July 4, 1900. That would make today the centenary of Armstrong's birth. It seems appropriate to accept this bit of improvisation on his birth, as ...

The Mahavishnu Orchestra: The Lost Trident Sessions

Read "The Lost Trident Sessions" reviewed by John W. Patterson

by John W. Patterson

I need not go into the extended history of how the original tapes were misplaced, forgotten, and now unearthed for this long overdue CD release. What seemed to happen was simply a busy band with internal struggles made a session tape and opted to release a live version instead. Some songs never made it to that ...

Return To Forever: Romantic Warrior

Read "Romantic Warrior" reviewed by John W. Patterson

by John W. Patterson

I sit here, exhausted after a long day of yard work, an hour or so of computer troubleshooting, and outside a 50 mph squall line of severe thunderstorms baptizes day's end. But all is not fatigue and frenzy—before me a glass of red wine glows, grilled steak and new red potatoes steam, candle-lit eyes of my ...

Wynton Marsalis Septet: Live at the Village Vanguard

Read "Live at the Village Vanguard" reviewed by David Adler

by David Adler

And you thought the recent four-disc collection of Coltrane’s 1961 Village Vanguard recordings was a lot to chew on. Here comes Wynton Marsalis with a whopping seven CDs culled from septet performances at the Vanguard from 1990 through 1994. The music is cleverly presented: Each disc represents a different night of the week, starting on Monday ...
