Miles Davis: Miles in Berlin
by Chad Kushins
Finally on CD in the United States, Miles in Berlin can be viewed by Davis completists as a Rosetta Stone in his long career. It is the very first recording by what would later be dubbed the second great quintet, capturing the group in a transitional period. Largely considered one of the greatest jazz bands ever, ...
Miles Davis: The Cool Jazz Sound
by John Kelman
Miles Davis The Cool Jazz Sound Disconforme 2869033 Recorded 1959; released on DVD 2004 Any chance to see archival footage of Miles Davis in performance is a treat, mainly because, for a career that spanned six decades, so little of it seems available. And so EFORFilms, responsible for releasing the ...
Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue
by Rex Butters
Miles Davis Electric Miles: A Different Kind of Blue Eagle Eye Media 2004 The 1970 Isle of Wight festival nearly doubled the attendance numbers of Woodstock, and boasted a similarly stellar lineup.

Miles Davis: In Person Friday and Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk Complete
by Samuel Chell
Possession of previous editions of this singular set simply won't do. After the Ellington at Newport and The Complete Lady Day reissues, the engineers at Columbia/Sony command respect as experts when it comes to authoritative, definitive, faithfully represented remasters of indispensable jazz recordings. This “transitional" group, between Miles' first great quintet with Coltrane and his second ...
Miles Davis: Round About Lunchtime: The Complete Columbia Cafeteria Recordings 1955-85
by Joshua Weiner
In its extensive series of boxed sets detailing the genesis of some of Miles Davis' greatest recordings, Columbia/Legacy has produced one of the most impressive bodies of jazz reissues extant. Their latest Miles box, however, suggests that the curators of Columbia's vaults have started to go a bit overboard. Round About Lunchtime: The Complete Miles Davis ...

Columbia's latest release of this essential album includes the original liner notes by Bill Evans, a new liner note essay by Robert Palmer, a bonus track alternate take of “Flamenco Sketches," a 25-minute documentary DVD on Kind of Blue, and the original music itself.

Miles Davis v. Wynton Marsalis: Jack Johnson in Jazz
by Michael Holman
A director fascinated by the outsized life of the African-American boxer Jack Johnson sets out to make a documentary to tell the man's story. Given the centrality of race to Johnson's story and Johnson's own musical interests, a jazz soundtrack seems most appropriate, so he enlists the foremost jazz trumpeter of the day to provide a ...
Miles Davis: My Funny Valentine
by Jim Santella
Many have tried to copy Miles Davis, but no one can measure up to the kind of performances that he gave us when he was in his prime and led the mainstream. This concert from February 12, 1964 at Lincoln Center's Philharmonic Hall in New York ranks among the best. With George Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Ron ...
Miles Davis: A Tribute to Jack Johnson
by Jim Santella
Like the motions of a boxer, Miles Davis' music for this tribute contains much repetition in the motion and rhythm of his sextet. His open trumpet drove the point home with force. Electric guitar and electric bass were new to Davis' music in 1970. Ironically, he was honoring a traditional fighter who loved traditional ...
