 (1 Customer Review)
THE LEGENDARY PRESTIGE QUINTET SESSIONS is a four-disc box set that collects all the work Miles Davis recorded for Prestige with his classic first quintet (featuring John Coltrane on sax, Paul Chambers on bass, Philly Joe Jones on drums, and Red Garland on piano). The lyrical, complex, and endlessly listenable music these five men created together stands as a high watermark of not only the post-bop period but of American music in the 20th century.
Miles fans will likely own the lion's share of this material on albums like WORKIN', RELAXIN', and COOKIN', among others, but those who don't will find a universe of musical treasures here. What makes the set especially exciting is the fourth disc, which contains previously unreleased radio and television appearances, and enhanced features offering transcriptions of solo sections. Add to this the elegant longbox and an extensive booklet packed with notes and photos, and you've got a superb package for any jazz fan.
Personnel: Miles Davis (trumpet); John Coltrane (tenor saxophone); Red Garland (piano); Paul Chambers (double bass); Philly Joe Jones (drums).
Liner Note Author: Bob Blumenthal.

Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions

"Walkin'" is taken at the kind of jaunty tempo that distinguished the Wynton Kelly-Paul Chambers-Jimmy Cobb rhythm axis. Paul Chambers' buoyant, effortless beat, his sure sense of harmony and swing, and his resounding brand of melodic bass (dig his little bowed break at the conclusion of "Walkin'") are the glue which hold these performances together. On "Walkin'" he and Jimmy Cobb lock up the groove as if swinging were the same as breathing, allowing Kelly to engage the trumpeter in a continual dialogue, feinting counterpoint and feeding him his favorite chords, then dropping away to allow Miles to stroll for a taste.
Kelly's joy is infectious on the band's old warhorse "Bye Bye Blackbird" and the easy-going ballad "All Of You," where he seems to particularly inspire a laid back bluesy Hank Mobley tenor solo. Mobley, never a Davis favorite, is not the fiery foil he relished, but his buttery tone and imperturbable lyric charm suit the slightly conservative tone of these performances. But in a long reading of "No Blues," Miles pointedly has Wynton ...

In the 1960s, trumpeter Miles Davis became a star outside of the jazz world, first with what history refers to as "the Quintet" with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, then with his highly influential post-BITCHES BREW electric bands. But there was a "transitional" period, after John Coltrane left Davis's employ and before the Shorter/Hancock era, which the SEVEN STEPS box set based around the SEVEN STEPS TO HEAVEN album documents in its entirety, often in a live context.
Davis was seeking the right combination of musicians for his sonic flights, where hard-bop and modal styles could be combined with a wide-open, increasingly ...
| | Miles Davis Cellar Door Sessions 1970 CDs (2005) Remastered; Box Set; Special Edition
Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions
$87.89  
Contains previously unreleased material. Some of the recordings on the CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS were originally released in edited form on the 1971 double-LP LIVE EVIL.
There is an entire universe contained in this box. Sumptuously packaged and scrupulously annotated, CELLAR DOOR SESSIONS 1970 is a six-disc set that documents Miles Davis's extended residency at the Washington, D.C., club. Davis is backed by a group of genius musicians: keyboardist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Michael Henderson, saxophonist Gary Bartz, percussionist Airto Moreira and guitarist John McLaughlin (who appears only on the last two discs). Together they pioneered an ecstatic fusion of jazz, rock, funk, and abstract sound-painting that established the blueprint for the future of progressive music.
Each disc contains a different live set, and while ...

A somewhat surprising pairing at the time, the former firebrand of the tenor sax and the wonderful South African pianist found a pleasant and relaxed meeting point. By 1978, Shepp had largely abandoned the ferocious attack that gained him renown in the '60s, settling ...

His drive for delivering good music is strong and his intent is clear. Over the last 7 years Dave Kellan has jammed the state of Michigan and the country spanning coast to coast while maintaining regional and statewide success. Since 2000 Dave has released 4 independent full length LPs of original material. The first album was with the band, "Gutbucket". The band featured emerging singer/songwriter Brett Mitchell on drums and Jake Krull on the bass. The second was "Open Up" a self produced demo of Dave playing guitar, bass, and self harmonies. In 2003 Dave came out with "Truth of the Matter" which showed a maturing mixed style of rock, jazz, folk and blues. Dave is still considered by many fans and friends ...
