MILES DAVIS - PRINCE OF DARKNESS: LIVE IN EUROPE

Details

• Release Year: 2006
• Genre: Music
• Plot: These intense and exciting live performance from the great jazz legend and trumpet pioneer Miles Davis are replete with the innovative ensemble improvising, the harmonic and sonic adventurousness, and the fiery rhythms that were hallmarks of the Miles sound over many decades and in many stylistic incantations.; ; In five extended numbers -- two are Davis originals; another is an interpretation of the Cyndi Lauper pop tune 'Time After Time' -- Miles and a septet of brilliant young musicians push one another to daring heights. In Munich in the late '80's, Kenny Garret's inventive saxophone solos and Joesph McCreary's blistering electric guitar are among the especially exciting elements; the combination of Ricky Wellman on drums and Marilyn Mazur on percussion keeps the ensemble together with beats at once driving the highly complex.; ; And a classic apperance at the Isle of Wright in 1970, such luminaries as Keith Jarret, Chick Corea and Dave Holland -- then the hottness of up-and-comers -- take Miles's innovations to mindblowing heights.; ; Throughout it all, the pure sound of Miles's instantly recognisable trumpet, sometimes fragile, sometimes harsh, reminds us of the consistent craftsmanship and daring this great jazz artist brought to his entire career.; ; Songs.; ; 01. Hannibal; 02. Code M.D.; 03. Jean Pierre; 04. Time After Time (Munich, 1988); 05. Call It Anything (Isle or Wright, 1970)
