What is THAT?

Miles Davis, vinyls I presume?

OOoooooh, I didn't know that existed! Gotta get it!

THAT would be, judging from the art in the first photo and the blurry type in the second, "The Complete On The Corner Sessions" of Miles Davis.

"On the Corner" was an early '70s exploration ... very very funky. The final cut was a Burroughsian "cut up" of music from the jam sessions. At the time of its release, it was seriously hated on by people for various reasons. Some people thought the cover art was more racist than funky, many Jazz snobs thought the music just wasn't Jazz or was a perversion of it ... it was too funky for jazz people, too jazzy for funk people ... something like that. In retrospect, it's just brilliant, clearly way ahead of its time. It's got a very crunchy repetitive sound, very compelling. Maybe boring to some ears but if you like exploratory music and can dig the whole Miles evolution, it's a real landmark and a great listen.

Just this past week I bought The Complete Bitches Brew Sessions and it's been totally blowing me away. Great stuff.

Thought it was Bootsy Collins initially.
Missed the horn and couldn't read the type.
"Kind of Blue" was my introduction to jazz (not that I know alot about it).

yeah, it's a 6CD box, the last installment of the "complete" series on Sony. My second favorite is the complete Jack Johnson box and then the Bitches Brew one. xoco pretty much summed this one up...it's so detached from jazz and more towards "hypnotic improvisational electric funk" than anything else. This shit is ESSENTIAL for anybody that digs the music that this monster has spawned (ie drum and bass, modern funk, hiphop, and all the rest). Best bill I've spent in ages...

Got it. And got questions for getting wanting to get it here already. Get it.

(My favorite, for personal, not technical reasons, is the complete "In a silent way.")
