Miles Davis - Big Fun LP

2015 EU repressing on 180g LP-Float Into the Ether: Gorgeous 1969 Experimental Treasure Among the Most Atmospheric Jazz Albums Ever Recorded Delicate, Immersing, Dynamic: Mobile Fidelity Reissue Magnifies the Bold Textures, Soothing Ambience, and Transcendent Moods Davis' First Fusion Album Features John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland, and Tony Williams Tracks: A Shhh / Peaceful B1 In A Silent Way B2 It's About That Time Shhh. The command to be quiet is not just part of the title of one of the two sprawling compositions on this pioneering album. It's also an apt metaphor for the relaxed hypnotism and spaced-out atmosphere that define In a Silent Way, a record that pushes the boundaries of studio possibilities, artist-producer relationships, and rock-jazz chasms. Recognized as Miles Davis' first full-on fusion effort and part of his “electric” era, the 1969 landmark claims a Who's Who lineup that sends the music into an ethereal stratos…

Miles Davis - Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet (Black Vinyl, 180 Gram Vinyl) Verkrijgbaar bij Bennies Fifties en de online Fifties Store Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet is een van de meest geliefde albums uit Miles' vroege Prestige-periode. Opgenomen in 1956 in de legendarische Van Gelder Studio, vangt dit album de pure, spontane energie van het “First Great Quintet”:Miles Davis (trompet), John Coltrane (tenorsaxofoon), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bas) en Philly Joe Jones (drums). Het album werd oorspronkelijk uitgebracht in 1960 en bevat scherpe improvisaties, een moeiteloze groove en een unieke balans tussen bebop en lyrische souljazz. Klassiekers zoals “It Never Entered My Mind” en “Trane's Blues” laten de ongeëvenaarde chemie horen tussen Miles en Coltrane - een samenwerking die bepalend zou worden voor de moderne jazz. Deze 180 gram zwarte vinyl heruitgave brengt de warme analoge klank van de originele sessies schitterend naar voren. Een essentiële toevoeging voor…

Miles Davis - Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet (Transparant Turquoise Vinyl, 180g) Verkrijgbaar bij Bennies Fifties en de online Fifties Store   Het legendarische Miles Davis Quintet - met John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers en Philly Joe Jones - wordt vaak beschouwd als een van de belangrijkste jazzformaties aller tijden. Workin' With The Miles Davis Quintet (oorspronkelijk uitgebracht in 1959) is een mijlpaal binnen de moderne jazz: spontaan, intens, melodieus en vol adembenemende improvisaties.   De opnames vonden plaats tijdens Davis' historische sessies voor Prestige (1956), waar het quintet in hoog tempo meesterwerken opnam. Workin' toont de groep op haar meest puur en ongeremd: van ingetogen ballads tot vlammende hardbop, steeds met Davis' kenmerkende lyriek en Coltrane's baanbrekende benadering van melodische lijnen.   Deze prachtige Transparant Turquoise Vinyl editie tilt de tijdloze sfeer van de originele tapes naar een nieuw niveau. De 180-grams persing zorgt voor …

Even if that isn't true, Miles Davis certainly was one of the greatest music innovators of the 20th century, pioneering Cool Jazz (with the 1949 recording of Birth Of The Cool), Modal Jazz (with 1959's Kind Of Blue) and Fusion with 1970's Bitches Brew.
