The Miles Davis Quintet/Sextet/All Stars Pt 2

For a lot of people, the peak of jazz expression in the mid to late 1950s was to be found in the bands of MILES DAVIS.  And there are many reasons.  JOHN COLTRANE was in the band for that time, and he was a rapidly emerging major voice in the music. But so was Davis, who had had some stellar associations before, but he was not the most famous of soloists in the late 1940s and early 1950s.  By the time Coltrane left, both he and Davis were among the most popular leaders in the jazz world. And just think of it: Davis had not just Coltrane, but also Cannonball Adderley and Bill Evans in his band around this same time. These are 4 of the most influential AND successful AND innovative musicians of the era. And they all happened to be together on that magnificently modern album KIND OF BLUE – now the best selling jazz record of all time. That record was created with a very special chemistry, which is pretty much unique to that album. And listening to these 3 live radio broadcasts, most of which feature most of these giants, it also incredibly clear that as soon as one of those people is missing or replaced, the band sounds SO different. No Cannonball meant perhaps less intense wild Bop riffing. No Evans meant less Chopin like delicacy. No Coltrane less forceful searching.  And when the galvanizing Philly Joe Jones is not there, something else happens.  And when Red Garland appears, a whole other wonderful sound is heard. Listening to these shows, when radio was not quite so popular as it had been in the 1930s and 1940s, but with the higher fidelity of FM, we get a very special glimpse of the changing tone of this phenomenal band as it was altered over a 7 month period. Fascinating.
