Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

50th Anniversary Box - 2 CDs + DVD (NTSC) + 180-gram Blue Vinyl

Best Album Notes

Kind Of Blue: 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition ~ Francis Davis, album notes writer (Miles Davis)

Deluxe 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition

Talk about a Collector's Edition. This one's got it all. First, a CD of the original album, remastered with bonus tracks. Next, another CD of the first live session performed by the group (May 26, 1958), plus The Den Haag Concert and The Zurich Concert (over 60 minutes of music). Then, a DVD featuring an expanded Making Of Kind Of Blue documentary, as well as the historic television program The Sound Of Miles Davis, filmed in 1959. And finally, a premium, 180-gram BLUE vinyl companion record. Plus, a hardcover book with additional memorabilia.

Originally recorded in 1959, Kind Of Blue is widely regarded as the definitive jazz album, a universally acknowledged standard of excellence. It is also the best-selling jazz album of all time. Representing the pinnacle of modal jazz, Miles Davis brought together John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb and assembled one of the greatest bands in history, spontaneously inventing a new musical style and language in the process.

This release comes in conjunction with a major Miles Davis biopic theatrical release scheduled for 2009, starring Academy Award winner Don Cheadle as Miles Davis.

Miles Davis Bitches Brew 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition 180 GRAM 2LP 3CD & DVD Box Set

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 95/500!

Super-Deluxe 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition 12" x 12" Slipcase Box Set!

Recorded at the end of a tumultuous decade (August 1969), Bitches Brew reflected the chaos and beauty of a society stretched and stressed to its breaking point. This genre-bending, barrier-smashing double LP of boldly new music with dense textures and lengthy performances broke every rule of commerciality yet would become Miles Davis' first RIAA gold album.

Originally released in April of 1970, Bitches Brew was informed by and reflective of the music that Miles heard being produced in the late '60s by Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, James Brown, Santana, Marvin Gaye and others, as well as the Beatles' post-production editing pyrotechnics. This 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition is a tribute to both the man who changed the course of jazz ("four or five times", as he himself once quipped), and the album that virtually single-handedly brought jazz into the commercial rock era, earning a place of #94 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. The album's gatefold cover introducing the late Mati Klarwein's iconic art served as a gateway to music that presented a seismic breakthrough in jazz/rock/funk/R&B.

Three August 1969 recording sessions yielded Bitches Brew's six tracks - with Miles on trumpet, Wayne Shorter (soprano saxophone), Bennie Maupin (bass clarinet), Joe Zawinul (electric piano), Chick Corea (electric piano), John McLaughlin (guitar), Dave Holland (acoustic bass), Harvey Brooks (electric bass), Lenny White (drums), Jack DeJohnette (drums), Don Alias (congas) and Jumma Santos (aka Jim Riley, shaker) - undergoing post-production in the form of handmade razor and tape splice loops by Miles' long-time producer Teo Macero.

"In February 1969, Davis recorded In a Silent Way, a bold step into ambient funk and electric futurism that inspired the trumpeter to go further out at the sessions for Bitches Brew that August. Davis wanted, he said, "the best damn rock & roll band in the world," to connect jazz with the forward motion of Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone. Davis' band was superbad (Joe Zawinul, John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, etc.). But the word fusion was never big enough to describe the visceral thrill of these explosive studio explorations and the pioneering tape-edit wizardry of producer Teo Macero, arguably the original Chemical Brother." - rollingstone

This Super Deluxe Edition takes full advantage of the LP-sized 12x12 box set format, offering:
• 2 CDs with original 94-plus minutes of music plus six bonus tracks
• A third CD of previously unissued performance at Tanglewood, August 1970, with Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, Airto Moreira and Gary Bartz
• DVD of previously unissued performance in Copenhagen, November 1969, with Wayne Shorter, Corea, Holland and DeJohnette

The book features Mati Klarwein's painting Zonked (a psychedelic portrait of Miles Davis' wife, Betty, which also encodes a profile of Miles) on its cover, plus dozens of rare, unpublished photographs and record label memos.
• Memorabilia envelope containing a reproduction of the Davis Rolling Stone cover story from December 1969, previously unseen correspondence from Teo Macero's archives, reproductions of three Fillmore West concert tickets from April 1970, high quality photograph prints, and a foldout poster of Miles Davis.

"Bitches Brew should be a mandatory requirement, not even for musical school but just as a discussion. What do people get when they hear this music? Like Beethoven's 5th Symphony... it's a body of work that needs and must be visited." - Carlos Santana

FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE BLACKHAWK - (180 GRAM) - DIGITALLY REMASTERED DIRECT FROM ORIGINAL ANALOG TAPES

It's commonplace for Miles' followers to dismiss the groups between Coltrane and Shorter. By his actions on the stand and his comments away from it, Miles made it clear that he was unhappy with Coltrane's immediate replacements--Sonny Stitt, George Coleman and, most pointedly of all, Hank Mobley. But Miles' own insistence on the progressive, the revolutionary, the newest thing, should not be confused with the actual musical statements by his groups. No player was more welcome in a Van Gelder recording studio than Hank Mobley who, though hardly an innovator or trend-setter, was one of the most soulful, melodically inventive players on the scene. It's especially refreshing to hear him away from the Blue Note stable of players and in the company of Miles' rhythm section on this Columbia recording, which captures Hank's inspired lyricism at its best (his solo on "Blackbird" eclipses even Coltrane's on the same tune from the "'Round Midnight" session). In the case of this "transitional" group, Miles' proclaimed loss is the listener's gain.

SATURDAY NIGHT @ THE BLACKHAWK - (180 GRAM) - DIGITALLY REMASTERED DIRECT FROM ORIGINAL ANALOG TAPES

This LP is the second of 2 that chronicle Miles' stay at the Blackhawk in San Francisco in 1961.

Both dates of the Blackhawk shows are prime examples of the greatness of MILES working group.

While the Friday night show contained mainly ballads, Saturday night finds the band taking on more up-tempo numbers, and with it the band relaxes into a wonderful groove. Even the slower numbers, like "So What," are sped up during this particular evening. The band was definitely up for the change of pace.

Hank Mobley is the major recipient of the up-tempo nature of the show. His time spent with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers proved that he had the chops needed to play quickly and confidently. Mobley at his best within Miles' group comes with his solo on Sonny Rollins' "Oleo." While the solo lasts a mere minute or so, Mobley took the tension created by Miles' calculated, reserved, mute solo, and blows it out of the water with his frenzied attack, which is certainly akin to what both Rollins and Coltrane were playing at the time. Mobley's attack is what the rhythm section of Kelly, Chambers, and Cobb needed. It allowed them to pick up the pace, and led to Kelly's tasty solo after Mobley's. Kelly's solo is a bit more refined, but no less impressive. The piece showed off prime solo chops by 2 of jazz's legends.

The rest of the lp is no less impressive. The pieces are up-tempo, with all parties involved bringing their "A" games to the table. Miles' playing is wonderful, and dominated by his harmon mute. As always, his solos are short, conpact, very to the point. Mobley's playing throughout is inspired. One can sense that Mobley was on that night, and that he KNEW it, as well. Kelly's solos are always a delight to hear. His playing moves a lot, taking on octaves, arpeggios, and more of a lead character even when he's playing accompanying block chords. Chambers and Cobb were as tight a low end rhythm section as jazz had, and the lp allows them to dominate the proceedings in an up-tempo way.

Both BLACKHAWK SHOWS (Friday night & Saturday night) are recommended to hear the full scale of what this short-lived working band could accomplish.

GREATEST HITS -  Unlike jazz contemporaries Dave Brubeck and bandmates Cannonball Adderley and Herbie Hancok, Miles Davis never had a Top 40 hit single. This collection is an excellent sampler of Miles Davis first 15 years on Columbia Records. Two KIND OF BLUE tracks are heard - wider versions than on that legendary LP. Miles’ influential ballad style shows up on the haunting “My Funny Valentine”. And “Walkin” here is from a live Antibes, France Concert LP featuring a young Tony Williams on drums. Thos unfamiliar with Miles’ music should use this as a springboard to Miles’ most accessible music. Those owning KIND OF BLUE, but no other Miles albums, should get this to sample other Miles’ moods and styles. Other Tracks include: “Seven Steps To Heaven“- “All Blues“ - “Someday My Prince Will Come“ - “Round Midnight“ - “So What“.

 YOU’RE UNDER ARREST WITH GATEFOLD JACKET

No harsh words of criticism for Miles' 1985 pop-soft jazz effort. While so-called die hard fans of Miles or jazz used adjectives such as "flop", "poor quality", and "worst", it is anything but...The only slight unstable choices he made was to do cover instrumentals of Michael Jackson's Human Nature and Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time at a time when the original songs were still fresh. Instead, he should have opted for writing a couple of original tunes himself (even if they were only going to be filler material---the key word being original).These two tracks ended up being played as light elevator music tunes in department or grocery stores. The rest of the album, however, showed that Miles could adapt to the changing times and styles of music in order to reach younger listeners as well. No longer was his music exclusive to hardcore jazz purists...Miles Davis is for the entire world !

Tracks include: One Phone Call/Street Scenes - Human Nature - MD1 Something’s On Your Mind - MD 2 - Ms. Morrisine - Katia Prelude - Katia - Time After Time - You’re Under Arrest - Medley
