Product Description

CD Description

Throughout the '90s the smoky-voiced contralto Cassandra Wilson has shunned piano accompaniment in favour of close-miked acoustic guitars, evoking a moodily sensual atmosphere in which pop, blues, country and straight jazz vocals all mergetogether. It helps that Wilson has a distinctly Southern blues cast to her singing, a quality immediately apparent on "Run The Voodoo Down", the funky opener to TRAVELING MILES, her impeccably self-produced homage to Miles Davis.
As is her wont, Wilson has chosen to mix it up on this tribute, setting lyrics to Davis compositions such as "Blue In Green", "Tutu" and "ESP" while reprising two favourite Miles covers,"Someday My Prince Will Come" and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time". The singer also contributes some of her own welcomeoriginals such as the poppish "Right Here, Right Now", which itself sounds like a tribute to Joni Mitchell, another mentor-spirit hovering over the proceedings. The set closes with a playful reprise of "Voodoo", featuring a sisterly duet with African singer Angelique Kidjo, who sounds right at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly Formed ( nevertoolate #011 ), 1 Nov 2008

By	The Wolf (uk) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Some things come into the world perfectly formed.

Ms Wilson's 1999 recording 'Travelling Miles' is one of them.

Less a tribute album to the great Mr Davis - perhaps more
a meditation and a love letter.

The dark, velvety tones of Ms Wilson's remarkably
beautiful voice have never sounded better than here.

The twelve tracks, three of them self-penned, weave a rich
and varied tapestry.

Her take on Ms Lauper and Mr Hyman's 'Time After Time'
(despite unforgivably sloppy guitar tuning from Mr Breit)
is a thing of beauty.

So too, her own song 'Travelling Miles', recalling in some
ways Ms Mitchell's estimable pean to Mr Mingus.

The mercurial ensemble playing on 'Seven Steps', particularly
Ms Carter's violin and Mr Harris' vibraphone, is especially
commendable.

'Someday My Prince Will Come' has never sounded better.

Mr Davis' 'Sky and Sea (Blue and Green)' also gets a sultry
and seductive treatment.

Treasures aplenty then on this cracking album.

There were great things still to come ( notably 'Belly of
the Sun' : 2002 ) but for my money this album remains
the pinnacle, so far, of Ms Wilson's recording career.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mellow Grooves, 22 Jan 2001

By A Customer

Seemingly this album is a tribute to Miles Davis and its easy to see why. Cassandra Wilson has set her words to the music of Davis and created mellow jazzy tunes that are both chilled but funky. There is also a charming rendition of Cyndi Laupers "Time after time" as well as other enchanting tracks like the soulful/folk number "Right here, right now". This album is great for sharing with good company, whether relaxing at home with friends or partner or just chilling out on your own. The only downside is the scratch my copy has on track seven!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A vocal tribute to "Miles Davis"..., 9 Jan 2003

By	Milt Ingarfield "milt_fm" (Arbroath, Scotland) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This 1999 self-produced album is by way of the songs contained on it, and by the title a satisfying tribute to Jazz's prince of darkness "Miles Davis". The tunes on this album include orginal songs by Wilson and standards associated with the trumpeter and a cover of "Time after time" by Cyndi Lauper" which done by Cassandra Wilson takes on a whole new twist. This recording is of the highest standard in sound and production, I would expect nothing less from the "Blue Note" label.

You can Buy this album with confidence, the whole audio experience is very satisfying both in lyrical content and vocal performance, superb chill-out stuff...
