A Full Night Of Miles Davis LIVE - Recaptured!, 16 Feb 2005
During a long-ago April weekend in 1961, at San Francisco's Blackhawk Nightclub, The Miles Davis Quintet recorded live, four complete sets, (previously available only edited on separate discs), when Hank Mobley was on tenor and improvising like crazy, and the sound was happening. This fabulous, 4 CD collection features thirteen previously unreleased selections. The performance may be flawed at times, and Sony may have done better remastering with other reissues, but so what? This is Miles and crew making history! It truly doesn't get much better than this!!Davis is at his best with "Walkin,'" "Bye Bye Blackbird," and "No Blues." Other offerings include "Autumn Leaves," On Green Dolphin Street," "I Thought About You," "Someday My Prince Will Come," and the formerly bluesy, now upbeat "So What." This is some of the best sound from post-war jazz, which warped in a multitude of interesting ways after this period. And much extraordinary music was warped under Miles Davis' watch. But this was then. And then was great! Wynton Kelly, on piano, is the brightest and funkiest of the group. And Mr. Miles' rhythmic sense - so important to his trumpet style - never got better then it was here, with this group! This 4 CD, boxed-set also features original liner notes by Ralph Gleason, along with updated notes by trumpeter Eddie Henderson & rare photos of all the musicians. "Miles Davis: In Person Friday and Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk, Complete" is a very exciting release.
