From 1957… with Monk and Milt Jackson on the title-track; Rollins and Horace Silver on the rest.
From 1964, with Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams on drums; and young Sam Rivers replacing George Coleman (pushing the sound further out, and spiking Davis’ signature cool).
‘High-energy live versions of songs by Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter, and Richard Carpenter, as well as a restlessly fast-paced take on the Davis staple So What.’
Vinyl via Get On Down.
At Fillmore West in 1970 with Airto, Steve Grossman, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette (just before Keith Jarrett joined). The Bitches Brew sound.
‘Classic Vinyl series.’
His first proper LP, recorded in 1955; with Red Garland, Oscar Pettiford, and Philly Joe Jones.
Funk and soul from mid-seventies Detroit — with that layer of gritty sophistication you find in Marlena’s Blue Notes, and Esther Phillips’ Kudus of the time.
A collection of EPs recorded at home, most Decembers since 2001, and given to friends as Christmas cards. Traditional carols and many originals, with stickers, stories, a songbook, and a bunch of stocking fillers.
