Biography

What is cool? At its very essence, cool is all about what’s happening next. In popular culture, what’s happening next is a kaleidoscope encompassing past, present and future: that which is about to happen may be cool, and that which happened in the distant past may also be cool. This timeless quality, when it applies to music, allows minimalist debate – with few exceptions, that which has been… Read more in Amazon's Miles Davis Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Early Miles, fun hour of charting his progress..., December 29, 2002
This review is from: The Best of Miles Davis: The Capitol/Blue Note Years (Audio CD)
This compilation highlights the first ten years of M.D.'s long career, from "Birth of the Cool" through the classic "Somethin' Else" record which officially was led by Cannonball Adderley, but was really a Davis project. While everything on here is worth hearing, and wears well, the 1949 and '52 selections really seem shallow when compared to the 1958 complexity and beauty of "Autumn Leaves" and "Somethin' Else." If you already own that latter CD, you don't need to buy this one unless you are a Miles completist. As an overview of Davis in the 1950's, however, this is great. Consider his Columbia album "Kind of Blue", done in '59 with most of the same help as on "Somethin' Else" as the start of Miles in the '60's. I'm not even a big Miles fan, although I saw him perform in Madison Square Garden around 1970 and owned his "Live at the Blackhawk" on vinyl.You just can't own a classic jazz collection and leave him out, however. The music he created after 1970 does not interest me as much as his '50's and '60's work. If you think like me, you'll like this disc a lot.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent collection of Miles davis hard-bop years, September 8, 2000
This review is from: The Best of Miles Davis: The Capitol/Blue Note Years (Audio CD)
The best of the Blue note/ Capitol years is a compilation CD of some of the prime work from miles Davis early work as a bandleader and sideman during the 1950's. This colection mostly made up of Miles playing hard bop and really swinging. Much to like here from the uptempo bop tune move to the mid tempo enigma to the almost ballad like autumn leaves. Those are my favorites but even the other cuts are excellent. So why no five stars? There is a box set of miles davis capitol blue note years which contains all of the tunes here and then some. It's a little pricey but definetely wotth it. But for those on a budget that want to get a taste of an young Miles Davis it's definetely worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of Miles' greatest collection of tunes!, April 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best of Miles Davis: The Capitol/Blue Note Years (Audio CD)
This c.d. is especialy good for anyone who likes to relax and listen to the sweet sounds of Miles Davis. "Best of the Capitol/Blue Note Years" is a c.d. full of feeling which is characterized by Miles' distinct playing ability and love for music. From someone remotely interested in jazz to the avid Miles Davis collector, this c.d. of masterpieces is a must.
