The Miles Davis installment of the BLUE NOTE'S GREAT SESSIONS series brings together three discs of the legendary trumpeter's work from the late 1940s and early '50s. Davis didn't record much during this time, and he never released solo albums on Blue Note thereafter, but his BIRTH OF THE COOL album, included here, made an indelible mark on the history of jazz.
Featuring brilliant arrangements by composer Gil Evans, instruments like the French horn and tuba, and a restrained "cool" style that stood in stark contrast to the frenetic bebop then in vogue, BIRTH OF THE COOL sounds as fresh and startling today as it did in 1949. The other two discs included, MILES DAVIS VOL. 1 and MILES DAVIS VOL. 2, find Davis working in an excellent hard bop mode, and are marked by superb playing from Davis, saxophonist Jackie McLean, trombonist J.J. Johnson, pianist Horace Silver, and drummer Art Blakey, among others.
Blue Note's Great Sessions: Miles Davis packages three of the innovative trumpeter's most iconic early recordings from the '50s. Included is the legendary Birth of the Cool, Miles Davis, Vol. 1, and Miles Davis, Vol. 2. These are must-hear recordings for avid Davis fans, and the Rudy Van Gelder editions showcased within this collection feature remastered sound and original album art. ~ Matt Collar Miles Davis: Great Sessions Music Miles Davis: Great Sessions Songs Miles Davis: Great Sessions Review

Following in the footsteps of Lenny Breau's "The Hallmark Sessions" CD (AOL #1007), "At The Purple Onion" captures Lenny performing in a live trio date recorded at the Purple Onion club in Toronto, Canada in August of 1962. This 68 minute previously unre
Personnel: Lenny Breau (guitar); Lenny Breau; Joey Hollingsworth (vocals, taps); Eon Henstridge (double bass); Don Francks (vocals).
Audio Mixer: Paul Kohler.
Liner Note Author: Paul Kohler.
Recording information: The Purple Onion, Toronto, Canada (08/1962).
Guitarist Lenny Breau, vocalist/comedian Don Francks, and bassist Eon Henstridge were a brand new trio (later calling themselves Three) when they were recorded in 1961 at the Purple Onion, a Toronto nightclub. While Breau and Francks had worked together over the previous month, Henstridge literally had only about an hour of rehearsal with the others prior to the making of this recording, though the trio's emphasis was more on spontaneity than set arrangements. Although fans of Lenny Breau are likely to be interested in all of his previously unreleased recordings, the focus is primarily on Francks. The trio's approach to standards is a bit unusual. "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top" has a bluesy flavor, along with Francks' improvised dialogue and a brief scatted detour into "On the Trail" (from Grofé's Grand Canyon Suite). Francks takes the same approach to "Tea for Two," slipping in and out of "Black Coffee" and adding a bit of scatting. Of more interest is the extended interplay between Breau and Henstridge, as Francks' silliness quickly wears thin. "A New Electric Chair" is a stream-of-consciousness narrative about a warden deliberating a purchase. "Gum Addiction," a pantomime of a musician going though withdrawal because of ...
