Miles Davis: 'Round About Midnight (Legacy Edition)
by Jim Santella
Music this good requires reissue and invites special packaging. Most of the material on the second disc of the Legacy Edition of 'Round About Midnight, however, has never been released before. So, we are met with pleasant surprises along with a reissue of some of Miles Davis' greatest music. In all, this double CD brings us ...
Miles Davis: The Complete Live at The Plugged Nickel
by C. Michael Bailey
Temperamental, passionate, standoffish, reticent... all of these adjectives describe the Miles Davis of the mid-1950s on. Like Beethoven, Davis considered himself an artist to be accepted on his own terms and a servant to no one. This did not endear Davis to his audiences, but that was no matter. Forget that Miles Davis was not the ...
Duke Ellington: The Complete Live at Newport 1956
by C. Michael Bailey
Within the subatomic structure of American musical styles, the blues is the single indivisible particle with which all else is made. The blues combined with other influencing elements (eg. ethnic, religious, regional, cultural) form Country & Western, Bluegrass, Rock & Roll, Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Gospel and, yes, finally Jazz. It can be argued that ...
Miles Davis: 'Round About Midnight (Legacy Edition)
by John Kelman
Given Legacy's ongoing efforts to package and reissue thirty years' worth of Miles Davis material, one has to wonder at the audacity of its latest addition to seemingly endless variations on his extensive catalogue, the Legacy Edition of 'Round About Midnight. Certainly the material on disc one--which includes Miles' entire '57 debut for the label, along ...
Miles Davis: My Funny Valentine
by George Harris
This justifiably famous 1964 concert by Miles Davis' quintet at the Lincoln Center has been released in many incarnations. Originally it appeared as two single LPs, one consisting of the ballads of the evening, the other including all of the burners; it has also been released as part of last year's seven-CD set Seven Steps, and ...
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band: Jazz Moods | Hot
by Jim Santella
Go ahead, make my day! The Dirty Dozen Brass Band does precisely that every time out. This compilation, drawn from Voodoo (1989), The New Orleans Album (1990), and Open Up - Whatcha Gonna Do for the Rest of Your Life (1991), brings on some of the best street celebrations that the band has to ...
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 ...
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
by Jim Santella
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. It sounds as good today as it did 46 years ...
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 ...
