Review 1
Trumpeter Miles Davis made a career out of shifting gears and rousing his fans to not get too comfortable in their listening habits. Heeding the artist's call to stay fresh creatively, Davis reinvented himself several times over the course of his career. First, he broke out of Charlie Parker's sphere in 1949 to usher in the "cool jazz" movement with Gil Evans, and during his twilight years he noddled in the rap-jazz zone. In between those extremes, Davis helmed two legendary quintets, plugged in with the first splashes of fusion and even pioneered in the early '70s a sampled/collage sound that set the course for '90s-styled hip-hop grooves. |
