 (1 Customer Review)
Miles Davis's most successful groups--his first great quintet with John Coltrane, for example, and his mid-1960s outfit with saxophonist Wayne Shorter--are well known, but the ensembles in-between are also notable. On this 1964 concert, recorded in Tokyo, Japan, Miles was already working with the rhythm section he would maintain until 1970--drummer Tony Williams, bassist Ron Carter, and pianist Herbie Hancock. The saxophonist, remarkably enough, is subsequent avant-garde legend Sam Rivers.
Rivers is a unique and under-appreciated player not bound by stylistic constraints; he plays with great verve, humor, and invention. Though Rivers seems a bit out of place on this set of mostly standards (which includes "My Funny Valentine" and "All of You"), it is interesting to hear how his sound changes the group, pushing it toward more flexible rhythmic and harmonic structures. "So What," for example, grows to skittering near-cacophony, with a series of complex solos. Hancock's blinding right hand and the propulsive rhythms of Carter and Williams also drive Davis to some of the edgiest playing of his career at that point. MILES IN TOKYO is a fascinating document of Davis in transition, but is also worth picking up for the chance to hear Rivers in such unique company.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.

| | George Benson Songs And Stories CD (2009)
Miles In Tokyo
$15.65
George Benson's sound is so recognizable that, in its way, it's quite comforting to hear his voice or his guitar come across on the radio or in a club. His recordings have been polished and extravagant in many cases, but there are those signature elements-his relaxed delivery and silky touch on the strings and his voice, as evocative as a cool breeze floating across a hot summer night. SONGS AND STORIES doesn't deviate from his formula a great deal, but it doesn't have to. He's chosen ten ubiquitous pop tunes from a variety of songwriters (and one by a relatively new kid on the block), and with the help of producers John Burk and Marcus Miller, he puts them across in fine style.
Audio Mixer: Don Murray.

| | Bill Evans Portrait In Jazz CD (1959) Remastered
Miles In Tokyo
$9.65
An indisputable jazz classic, Bill Evans's PORTRAIT IN JAZZ was originally released in 1959, issued on CD in the early `90s, then remastered and re-released in 2008. The crisp remastering is a joy, and brings the glorious music made by the legendary pianist and his trio into sharp, gorgeous relief. Evans's treatments of standards and classics such as "Come Rain or Come Shine," "Witchcraft," and "Someday My Prince Will Come" are startling and moving, but it's the originals--"Peri's Scope" and the seminal "Blue in Green"--that stand out.

| | Koby Israelite Is He Listening? CD (2009)
Miles In Tokyo
$12.99
IS HE LISTENING? is the fourth Tzadik release by the Israeli multi-instrumentalist Koby Israelite. The label notes state that IS HE is Israelite's "sly take on easy listening." Sly it may be since what strikes one about the album, at least on first hearing, is the heavy, tight, and loud rock guitar playing and exuberant drumming. To be sure there are all the familiar Jewish and klezmer themes on hand as well as a variety of instruments to play them, including accordion (guest Marius Manole from the neo-gypsy band gypsy band Taraf de Haidouks), clarinet, mandolin, and buzuki. Israelite plays all of these instruments and others too numerous to list but what ultimately comes across is a strong, centered musical personality holding together the frequent overdubbing, hard-edged drum-and-bass rhythms, and lively Balkan- Middle Eastern styles.
Audio Mixer: Koby Israelite.
