Our Take

MILES DAVIS Original Album Series Review:

Ah, sweet, sultry Miles Davis, the prince of cool jazz, has graced us yet again with a compilation of his original albums in this sleek box set.

First up, we have 'Round About Midnight', a true classic that effortlessly blends Davis' smooth trumpet melodies with a touch of melancholy. Tracks like "Ah-Leu-Cha" and "Dear Old Stockholm" showcase Davis' innovative approach to jazz, leaving listeners in a trance-like state of musical euphoria.

Next, we have 'Miles Ahead', an album that sees Davis embrace a more orchestral sound, with arrangements by the legendary Gil Evans. The album's title track is a cinematic masterpiece that perfectly captures the essence of Davis' artistic vision.

Moving on to 'Milestones', Davis shows off his versatility with a mix of hard bop and modal jazz. Tracks like "Sid's Ahead" and "Billy Boy" highlight Davis' ability to push the boundaries of traditional jazz, creating a sound that is uniquely his own.

In '7', Davis takes a more minimalist approach, stripping down his band to a septet and focusing on intricate improvisation. The result is a raw and visceral album that captures the essence of Davis' unparalleled talent.

Lastly, 'Birth of the Cool' sees Davis at his most experimental, fusing elements of bebop and cool jazz to create a sound that is both innovative and timeless. Tracks like "Boplicity" and "Jeru" showcase Davis' pioneering spirit, cementing his status as a true jazz legend.

Overall, this box set is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, offering a glimpse into the genius of Miles Davis and his groundbreaking contributions to the world of music. So grab a glass of fine wine, dim the lights, and let Miles Davis serenade you into the night. Cheers!
