Editorial Review: Amazon.com: These historic sessions, recorded between 1969 and 1970 and originally released as a 90-minute double LP, merged jazz and rock into the hybrid genre known as fusion. They remain Miles Davis's most controversial recordings. Davis, along with pianists Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and Joe Zawinul; bassist Dave Holland; soprano saxophonist Wayne Shorter; bass clarinetist Benny Maupin; drummers Jack DeJohnette, Billy Cobham, and Lenny White; and percussionist Airto Moreira, went electric with rock rhythms, and the rest, as they say, is history, or as some feel, the end of jazz history. Now, all of the sessions' 265 minutes are contained on this four-CD set, compiled from alternate takes, nine unreleased tracks, and selections from previously released LPs. The superb remastering reveals the spectral power of Davis's amplified, muted, and open trumpet painting on a swirling harmonic canvas created by Hancock, Corea, and Zawinul, especially on Zawinul's impressionistic "Pharoah's Dance," Shorter's elliptical "Sanctuary," and Davis's rocking "John McLaughlin." The previously unreleased tracks, including "Yaphet," "Corrado," "Tevere," "The Big Green Serpent," and Zawinul's "Double Image," contain some interesting East Indian motifs and inventive arrangements but will probably not change anyone's mind about this well-debated period of Miles Davis's career. --Eugene Holley Jr. Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - always going his own waythis is one of a series of great repackaged Miles. its hard to say which is best between In a Silent Way, Jack Johnson, On the Corner and Bitches Brew, since each one has generous extras, beautiful notes and pictures and of course the perfect remasters. ...

Rather, this is a collection of mostly fantastic outtakes released in the wake of B-Brew, around the time a few tracks from Big ...

Rating: - Fascinating grooveI have enjoyed listening to this music both intently and as background. At times it all seemed like so much musical doodling but when I considered the calibre of the musicians playing I became much more appreciative of its musical integrity. Excellent production. Rating: - Simply Miles....Miles finalmente apre le danze macabre del voodoo (Miles Runs the Voodoo Down); non ci sono più scuse, l'Africa è presente in tutto il suo terribile splendore. Il ritmo, le melodie, quel groviglio che solo un incosciente chiamerebbe armonia, esplodono senza ritegno. ... Read More see more Browse for similar items by category: Click to Display Related Items:
