5 stars Not like any other music
40 minutes of straight music that just gets better after every minute. I've haven't heard much Miles Davis, so i was surprised to ear a funky electric guitar backing him. All the musicians on this album are fantastic. Each doing there own thing at a frenetic pace. But it all comes together like they planned every note. I put this album on repeat at work and never got so much work done in one day. A+

5 stars electric nuclear hurricane music
this is probably my favorite miles album. (one of my favorite records, ever: dense, monsterous, angry and beautiful. pangaea kicks. flat out. this aint jazz or rock or funk but pissed-off miles davis hijacking an unholy lovechild of jimi hendrix and james brown. the first fifteen minutes of disc 1 never, ever, (ever) fail to take my breath away and make the hairs on my arms stand up. al foster kicks it off (and keeps it up throughout) with furious drumwork. the twin guitars growl and roar, michael henderson's basslines ought to be reqiured listening for anyone who even thinks about playing a fender bass. this album was recorded live in japan, 1975, year of my birth. humbling. i was an infant and miles was playing his soul in japan. fractured hips, chronic leg pain and he kicked, flat out. buy this record. listen and awe.

Miles Davis Agharta CDs (1975)

Pangaea album

$15.19

Recorded live at Osaka Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan on February 1, 1975. Includes liner notes by Lee Jeske. Digitally remastered by Larry Keyes (CBS Records Studios, New York, New York). Often derided or misunderstood during the time of their original release, Miles Davis' numerous releases following BITCHES BREW are now recognized for their startlingly unconventional beauty. Drawing on rock and funk, Miles unflinchingly followed his muse into the subtle dynamics to be found in hypnotically relentless repetition overlaid with fiery soloing. This hundred-minute, two-disc set was recorded live in Japan in 1975 and finds Miles trading solos with saxophonist Sonny Fortune over an undulating rhythm thicket ...

Miles Davis Get Up With It CDs (1974) Remastered

Pangaea CD music

$15.95

Recorded between 1970 and 1974. Includes liner notes by Dave Liebman. Digitally remastered by Seth Foster (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). By 1974, Miles Davis had become not only a music legend in general and a jazz legend in particular, but also a reclusive and confounding character. Davis' music had excited many and exasperated others, including many of his older fans, with its forays into space-age free-form meta-funk. Released in 1974 but unavailable on CD in the US until 2000, GET UP WITH IT is a compendium of several of Miles's early-to-mid-'70s studio adventures, and one of the most challenging albums in his catalog. His tribute to Duke Ellington, "He Loved Him Madly," is a darkly intense, 30-minute-plus exercise evoking the dense textures of such contemporary classical composers as Paul Schutze and Georgy Ligeti. "Red China Blues," a wry homage of sorts to Chicago blues, features some stinging trumpet by Davis and some earnest blues harmonica. The ...

Miles Davis Big Fun CDs (1974) Remastered

Pangaea music CDs

$15.95

In the period following Miles Davis' crossover breakthrough, BITCHES BREW, the trumpeter recorded incessantly, trying out new combinations of ideas and musicians. These progressive young musicians went on to forge a new alloy of music from the ore of funk, electric soul, psychedelic blues and progressive rock, with trace elements of classical and jazz. And Miles was the lightning rod for it all. BIG FUN gathers up some of the trumpeter's choicest experiments in '70s cool, much of it with a profoundly Indian flavor, and Miles' attraction to raga phrasing mirrors his love of flamenco melodies, particularly on "Lonely Fire" (a late Miles ballad in the tradition of "Nefertiti," "Shhh/Peaceful" and "Sanctuary"). This moody arrangement is distinguished by floating tear drops of tamboura, sitar, tabla and Fender/Rhodes, as Miles sounds taps, shadowed by soprano sax and bass clarinet, before breaking into tempo over the crossrhythms of Billy Cobham and Jack DeJohnette. Miles employs twin ...

Miles Davis Live-Evil CDs (1971) Limited Edition

Pangaea songs

$15.95

Digitally remastered by Tom Ruff (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York). Broken into a group of short studio pieces and four extended live jams, LIVE EVIL finds Miles Davis going further up the river, into the heart of uncharted musical darkness. In the studio, Miles took simple tone ballads and immersed them in the electrified air that he'd been breathing since IN A SILENT WAY. "Nem Um Talvez" and "Selim" are sister pieces; with Miles' trumpet bathed in Hermeto Pascoal's keyboards and vocal moans, sprinkled with proto-dub percussion effects. The live pieces are another animal altogether. Augmented by John McLaughlin's Hendrixian guitar runs and bolstered by Michael Henderson's funky bass pops, these are blues-tinged tickets to an electric, improvisational nirvana. With room to stretch out in any direction, each soloist develops fluidly within the ensemble, then thrusts powerfully forward. Jack DeJohnette and Airto Moreira ...

Oscar Peterson At The Concertgebouw CD (1957)

Pangaea CD music

$10.79

OSCAR PETERSON TRIO AT THE CONCERTGEBOUW is actually a live recording of a concert at The Civic Opera House and bonus tracks from an LP titled THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET AND THE OSCAR PETERSON TRIO AT THE OPERA HOUSE which were originally recorded at the Shrine Auditorium. Although Oscar Peterson and his trio did perform a midnight concert on April 12-13, 1958, no recording of this concert has been found. This album--the title has been a misnomer since its initial release in 1957--was not recorded at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam but at the Civic Opera House in Chicago. That bit of trivia aside, this is an exceptional snapshot of the magic produced by Oscar Peterson's mid-'50s trio. When guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown locked in with Peterson's piano, the three unfurled a tornado of musical ideas that wrapped bop, swing, popular balladry, and chamber music in highly complex, beautiful arrangements. Brown and Ellis keep pace with Peterson's trademark velocity on hyper-accelerated takes on ...

Stan Getz Stan Meets Chet CD (1958)

Pangaea music CDs

$12.65
Tenor saxophonist Stan Getz and trumpeter Chet Baker never particularly liked each other and, even though they had musically compatible styles, they only worked together briefly in three periods. Their mutual hostility can be felt in subtle ways on this session which has been reissued on CD. Getz ignores Baker's attempt to state the melody of "I'll Remember April" and he plays it himself several bars after. The two ...

This opus by matt pond PA is the band's second for Polyvinyl Records. Entitled The Nature of Maps, it contains 12 songs and clocks in at about 38 minutes. Matt Pond has a recognizable voice, one that is no doubt capable of surviving, if not flourishing, on "alternative" radio.
