| | Miles Davis Collection: Sorcerer/Kind Of Blue/In A Silent Way CD Miles Davis Discography of CDs
Also available as three separate albums: SKETCHES OF SPAIN, KIND OF BLUE and IN A SILENT WAY. See individual albums for more information.
This box combines three of Miles Davis's best releases, but the comparisons end there. While SKETCHES OF SPAIN, KIND OF BLUE, and IN A SILENT WAY are masterpieces, three less similar records would be hard to find in Davis's prolific catalogue.
SKETCHES OF SPAIN is the last of Davis's collaborations with the great composer/arranger Gil Evans, and it is as much Evans's album as it is Davis's, as Evans composed three of the album's five tracks and selected the other two. The sound is pure Evans--rich and orchestral even when featuring comparatively few instruments--and features that peculiarly weightless feel of his best work. By comparison, the improvised KIND OF BLUE--featuring "So What," probably Davis's best-known composition--is Spartan where SKETCHES is lush. Even more different is the electric, rock-influenced IN A SILENT WAY, whose side-long "Ssh/Peaceful" became the blueprint for nearly all '70s fusion experiments.

Collection: Sorcerer/Kind Of Blue/In A Silent Way album
 $15.05   
Orchestral and choral arrangements of rock songs have been a curious subgenre ever since the mid-'60s when Andrew Loog Oldham arranged The Rolling Stones Songbook for syrupy strings, but The Kinks Choral Collection stands apart from the pack for the simple reason that it's not the project of some associate or admirer, but rather chief Kink Ray Davies. His very presence as arranger and lead vocal means The Kinks Choral Collection isn't nearly as stuffy and middlebrow as so many of these orchestral rock albums; he manages to inject some semblance ...

Collection: Sorcerer/Kind Of Blue/In A Silent Way album
$9.99
Herb Alpert/Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass/Tijuana Brass: Herb Alpert (trumpet); John Pisano (electric guitar); Tonni Kalash (trumpet); Bob Edmondson (trombone); Lou Pagani (piano); Pat Senatore (bass guitar); Nick Ceroli (drums).
Herb Alpert was still using an array of SoCal studio all-stars as his Tijuana Brass when South of the Border (1964) began to restore the combo's good name after the modest Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, Vol. 2 (1963) failed to ignite a fire in listener's ears. In his essay accompanying Shout! Factory's 2005 Signature Series reissue of South of the Border, Alpert comments that the Sol Lake composition "Mexican Shuffle" "opened a new door for me." That passageway meant the loss of the Tijuana Brass' practically ...
| | Les Paul & Friends: American Made World Played CD (2005)
Collection: Sorcerer/Kind Of Blue/In A Silent Way CD music
$11.29
Released in celebration of Les Paul's 90th birthday, AMERICAN MADE WORLD PLAYED pays tribute to the master guitarist and inventor who changed the face of jazz, country, blues, and rock with his recording and guitar-design innovations. While the lineup here is stellar and includes vocalists Sting, Joss Stone, and Mick Hucknall (Simply Red), and guitarists Joe Perry (Aerosmith) and Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), among others, the album is at its best when it allows Paul to shine in an instrumental ...
| | Grant Geissman Business As Usual CD (1995)
Collection: Sorcerer/Kind Of Blue/In A Silent Way music CDs
$14.09
Grant Geissman negotiates and delivers a world class joint venture on his hit CD, Business as Usual. With arrangements for electric, electrical classical, classical, string acoustic and acoustic guitar on 12 tunes written by Grant, it's no wonder Geissman fans continue to be amazed by his brilliant string virtuosity. The title track opens the set with a high-energy stratocaster solo by Geissman with Sam Riney wailing on alto saxophone. "Chase The Dragon" features a funky dance-oriented rhythm, while "Gypsies" adds a Latin perspective to the set with Grant on classical and acoustic guitar. The exotic harmony of electric sitar with acoustic guitar (with tabla by Brad Dutz) on "India" adds another dimension to the Geissman string instrument collection. "Quiet Time" is pensive and portentous of the "smooth" guitar work that follows on "Tears Like Rain" -- unlike the more organic flavor of Rustic Technology. Grant Geissman is truly a world-class string virtuoso with global appeal and a command of his instruments. This CD lends the listener an "around the world" feeling and welcomes you back home to Business as Usual. ~ Paula Edelstein
A popular contemporary jazz recording artist in his own right, Grant's previous four releases have all been in the Top 10 on the national airplay charts. Two of these albums, Flying Colors and Time Will Tell, rose to the #1 position on the Gavin, MAC, and Radio and Records charts! On Business As Usual, his tenth solo album and the first for Positive Music, Grant makes a triumphant return to musical expression on ...
