 | In 1969, the house of jazz was shaken to its foundations when Miles Davis began to dabble in elements of rock when he recorded Bitches Brew . Many of his faithful quickly fell by the wayside with what they considered this outrageous gesture. Nonetheless, a younger audience quickly arose to embrace what he was doing. But when On the Corner was issued in 1972, it seemed that everyone jumped ship: Miles's effort to bring together the latest developments in European experimental music (Stockhausen's "Mixtur," for example) and Black American funk (Sly Stone) fell on dead ears. What's more, the art work on the cover was peculiar, there was no list of musicians, and the signature Davis trumpet sound was largely buried in the mix. Now, almost 30 years later, time has caught up to Davis, and this record seems the clear ancestor of hip-hop, trance, jungle, and other musics whose methods involve slowly revealing their meaning through repetition, small variation, and funk without cease.

|  | On the Corner is probably the most controversial recording Miles Davis ever released. Savaged by critics and "fans" alike at the time of its release, this visionary recording has become the cornerstone for any number of progressive musical movements both inside and outside jazz. In fact, in its use of ritualistic trance rhythms derived from Indian classical music and the black inner city, fat, vamping Fender bass lines, and a freely inflected cacophony of electric keyboards, guitars, and percussive colors, On the Corner not only reflects Davis's fascination with the music of such disparate influences as Sly Stone, James Brown, Ornette Coleman, Paul Buckmaster, and Karlheinz Stockhausen, but anticipates contemporary hip-hop and jungle sounds as well. With his electrified, wah-wah colored trumpet, Davis emulates the phrasing of blues guitarists like Hendrix, while arrangements such as the title track and "Black Satin" delve into collective improvisation, with an avant garde edge over ...

|  | A collection of material recorded between 1969 and 1972, the period just after Bitches Brew , Big Fun was not issued until 1974. By then, Davis had moved on in other directions, so it became a much-neglected album. The compositions are too scattered to maintain a focus, but there is much to hear within. For example, this was the album that introduced "Ife," a piece recorded during the On the Corner sessions. Built on the simplest of bass vamps and the skimpiest of melodies, it nonetheless was enough to incite Miles's playing. It stayed in his performance book for years, and turned up on other recordings, such as Dark Magus , Agharta , Pangaea , and In Concert . "Go Ahead, John," from the Jack Johnson period in 1970, has a sublimely nasty (and sonically infuriating) guitar solo from John McLaughlin. This digitally remastered edition of Big Fun also contains the bonus tracks "Recollection," "Trevere," "The Little Blue Frog," and "Yaphet" (all of which were also included on the recentl...

|  | In 1998 Bill Laswell went into the vaults and remixed Miles Davis's revolutionary electric music of the '70s, giving more emphasis to the bass lines and rhythm tracks, highlighting the connection between Miles and hip-hop culture. Though a sacrilege to some, Laswell's Panthalassa showed a sensitivity and understanding of the original music. This disc, a remixing of the Laswell remixes, is considerably more distant from Miles and his sound. Various DJs speed up, slow down, and add drum machine tracks to the material. In some cases--particularly two versions of "Rated X," one by Doc Scott, the other by Jamie Myerson--Miles is nowhere to be found. On "In a Silent Way," remixed by DJ Cam, at least his trumpet line appears, albeit over slowly thudding electronic drums. Laswell's "On the Corner (Subterranean Channel Mix)" does the least tampering and consequently has the most Milesian flavor of them all. Over all, a mixed bag (pun intended) and primarily of interest to those new to Miles.... (less)Artist: Miles Davis | $7 - $10  2 Merchants |
