Yo Miles! Revisited: Lightning and Shinjuku

Read "Yo Miles! Revisited: Lightning and Shinjuku" reviewed by John Kelman


Amongst the plethora of tributes to trumpet icon Miles Davis' electric period on Columbia, beginning with 1969's In a Silent Way and ending with 1975's Agharta and Pangaea, only a few stand out as being truly reverential--not just to the electrified energy and jungle funk of the music, but to its undeniably avant leanings as well. ...

Iron Kim Style: Iron Kim Style

Read "Iron Kim Style" reviewed by Nic Jones

Read "The Complete On The Corner Sessions" reviewed by John Kelman


Much has been written about what is perhaps trumpeter Miles Davis' most controversial album, On The Corner (Columbia, 1972).
