| | Miles Davis Ballads And Blues CD Miles Davis Discography of CDs
BALLADS & BLUES compiles ballads and slow blues that Miles Davis recorded for Capitol and Blue Note between 1950 and 1958.
Recorded in New York, New York on March 9, 1950; WOR Studios, New York, New York on May 9, 1952 & April 20, 1953; the Van Gelder Studio, Hackensack, New Jersey on March 6, 1954 & March 9, 1958.
Compiled from Davis' famous BIRTH OF THE COOL recording sessions, as well as three mid-1950's Blue Note sessions and the 1958 SOMETHIN' ELSE session with Cannonball Adderly, BALLADS & BLUES illustrates the fresh new sound Davis was moving on to around the time bebop was coming to an end. These songs are pulled out of context (they were originally grouped with more up-tempo bebop tunes) to illustrate their newness as well as Davis' developing artistry on his trumpet.
By the end of the 1950s, his style would come to epitomize a sophisticated kind of cool. The songs have slow tempos and wide spaces for Davis to play with, especially 1950's "Moon Dreams," which features an orchestra's worth of brass accompanying Davis, and Davis' classic "Weirdo."

The press has dubbed him "the human jukebox". He calls himself a "reluctant tenor." He claims he knows over a thousand "cover" songs. But, that's not the only thing he knows. A consummate showman, Steve Stefanowicz knows how to delight audiences with his unique blend of acoustic guitar, rich vocals and sharp wit. Steve has been blind since birth. He began playing the guitar at age four, when his father would tune the guitar to a chord, hold Steve on his lap, and sing along while Steve strummed the guitar. At age twelve, Steve became seriously interested in studying the guitar, and began taking lessons. He went on to study classical and jazz at Central Washington University. Originally, Steve gained notoriety as lead guitarist for his 1980s Tacoma band, Blind Ambition. In 1984, while playing with "Malice", the lead vocalist failed to show up for a gig, and Steve's vocal talents were called upon. He became aware that he enjoyed singing nearly as much as playing guitar, and picked up the acoustic for a stint on "the Steve and Ron show" at Wilson High School. During college, Steve formed a classic rock cover band called "Rock Slide," with bassist, Tony Cooper. Upon returning from college, he put together "Smilin' Jack," who enjoyed regional success throughout the West Coast in the early 1990s. Since their breakup, Steve has focused on his solo career as a singer/songwriter, but does enjoy performing with the band when the opportunity arises.His performances feature both original music and "cover tunes" that keep the crowd singing along. With a wide range of influences, including James Taylor, Warren Haynes, Bonnie Raitt and Black Sabbath, Steve brings a broad ...
