Album Description

This fascinating release comprises live recordings made at the end of 1956, when Miles accepted an offer to tour Europe with a formation called the "Birdland All Stars", which also included Lester Young and the Modern Jazz Quartet, along with European musicians such as pianist Rene Urtreger, bassist Pierre Michelot and drummer Christian Garros. We have here the one and only existing evidence of Miles playing with Lester Young and with the MJQ. It also presents a rare occasion to find Miles playing as the sole horn in a quartet format. As a complement, we offer the complete 1955 Newport Jazz Festival performance, in which Miles played a famous version of "Around Midnight" backed by Thelonious Monk and Gerry Mulligan. The two bonus tracks come from a rare Birdland broadcast featuring Miles with tenor saxophonist Bobby Jaspar. Tunes include jazz standards and Miles Davis' compositions: How High the Moon, Lester Leaps In, Tune Up, What's New, Indiana, Four, Walkin', Lady Be Good, Hackensack, Around Midnight, Now's the Time, All of You and a second version of Four. And then George Wein had an All-Star band that had Zoot Sims, Gerry Mulligan, Monk, Percy Heath, Connie Kay; he later added me. They played a couple of tunes without me and then I joined them on Now's the Time, which was a tribute to Bird's memo. And then we played Round Midnight, Monk s tune. I played it with a mute and everybody went crazy. It was something. I got a standing ovation. When I got off the bandstand, everybody was looking at me, offering me record deals. All the musicians there were treating me like I was a God, and all for a solo that I had trouble learning a long time ago. It was something else, man, looking up and applauding for what I had done." Miles Davis (From the liner notes). Discon.2006

4 out of 5 stars Miles on the brink.......2007-06-20

This CD offers Miles Davis in 4 different live settings, from his 1955 appearance at Newport with an all star pick-up group to a date at Birdland in October 1957 with tenor saxophonist Bobby Jaspar. In between are 2 broadcasts from Germany and Switzerland in November 1956 where Miles appeared with the MJQ and an aging and not very healthy Lester Young.

The Newport sides, despite their historical significance for Miles's career and his generally excellent playing, are rather raggedy, mainly because the musicians (Miles, Zoot Sims, Thelonious Monk, Gerry Mulligan) seem not to be that compatible and that rehearsal time together probably amounted to no more than a minute or two just before performing if any occurred at all. (Miles appeared unannounced, a walk-on.) Miles's playing wowed the critics, however, and sparked a renewed interest in him by record producers. In my opinion, though, much better are the 2 tunes from the Birdland session; Jaspar had an affinity for Miles's playing and they work well together.

The European dates are generally very good, despite the sadness produced by Lester's diminished tenor playing which definitely shows a decline in inventiveness and execution. Miles is in good form, though the highlight of the performances is the unidentified baritone sax solo on LESTER LEAPS IN (either Helmut Brandt or Johnny Freigl, members of the accompanying Kurt Edelhagen big band). The live sound is excellent, considering the time period. These live dates capture Miles at the beginning of his first rise to fame and set the table for his modal approach and a guy named Coltrane.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Miles.......2007-01-23

For the Serious Miles Collector, a must buy, maybe not the best sound, but still Classic Miles

5 out of 5 stars Billy lights the place up.......2006-06-07

I have just been reading about Billy's death, and felt compelled to share my impressions of this album (now CD). This guy was a world-class rock & roll showman....he milks the music (and the crowd) for all it's worth - pounding away at riffs in extended jams that somehow remain hypnotic, on occasion tetering on the edge of becoming repetitive. He maintains the high energy level throughout the whole set - though he's a bit too reliant on Beatles numbers (really, Billy - I mean, does he need to cover "Day Tripper"??). It's hard not to forgive the guy, though - he injects his personality into songs like "The Bus" and "Let's Go Get Stoned" very effectively. I have not heard the sound on the CD, in all honesty - I have been listening to the vinyl version for a few years now - and I am delighted it's now avail. in digital format. Mick Taylor's playing is always inspiring to hear - if this isn't his finest hour, it's enough that he's there and giving Billy's keyboard workouts some context (as an aside - when I saw Mick in Rhode Island in 1986, he covered "Will It Go 'Round in Circles").

If you like Billy, you'll give this 5 stars for it's "spirit". If you aren't or if you are new to his work - you may only give it 2 or 3 stars (recording is not top-shelf, performances have "balls" but are not flawless - I happen to be fond of this type of live document myself. You may see things differently). It captures an artist at one of their peaks...a moment in time. Perhaps it is not "perfect", but certainly it is "representative". Rock & roll, blues, soulful, and you can dance to it if you like...Billy and co. give you the whole package.

4 out of 5 stars finally!.......2002-06-06

IT TOOK QUITE SOME TIME, BUT THIS ONE FINALLY MADE IT ON TO CD. IT'S A BIT DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL LP IN THAT THERE ARE LITTLE BITS ADDED ("AMAZING GRACE" AND SOME EXTENDED PIECES) AND "GET BACK" HAS BEEN OMITTED FOR SOME REASON. IT'S STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE LIVE ALBUMS. THE SOUND QUALITY IS A LOT BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL (TOO HARSH ON HIGH END).
BILLY'S SPECIAL GUEST ON THIS ALBUM IS GUITARIST MICK TAYLOR FROM JOHN MAYALL'S BLUESBREAKERS (AND, OH YEAH, THE ROLLING STONES). MICK'S PLAYING IS AS GREAT AS EVER THOUGH HE REALLY DOESN'T GET A CHANCE TO REALLY TAKE OFF AS I KNOW HE LIKES TO.
STILL, ONE WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION.

    Amazon.com

    Recorded in a Berlin studio, this CD commemorates Carla Bley's first regular working band, a 10-piece group that could move with ease from rich chords and brassy splendor to pointed satire. It mixes New York jazz veterans--such as trombonist Roswell Rudd and drummer Andrew Cyrille--with rocker Terry Adams from NRBQ on piano, Soft Machine members Hugh Hopper on bass and Elton Dean on alto, and the soul of the band, British tenor player Gary Windo. "Rose and Sad Song" reveals Bley's development of a distinctive harmonic language in the traditional big-band idiom, while "Wrong Key Donkey" develops turbulence with layered rhythms. The final, 19-minute "Star Spangled Minor..." is a collage of national anthems transposed into minor keys and mixed with many of Bley's earlier compositions. "King Korn," "Ida Lupino," and "The New National Anthem" collide with funhouse-mirror versions of Deutschland über Alles and La Marseillaise, along with some manic free-jazz soloing, all ending with "The Colonel Bogey March." --Stuart Broomer

    4 out of 5 stars if Charles Ives had been born 75 years later..........2001-01-22

    he might have written something like "Spangled Banner Minor and Other Patriotic Songs" which... plunders not only "The Star Spangled Banner," but "Deutschland Uber Alles," "La Marseillaise," and the "Colonel Bogey March" as well (hey, this was a _European_ tour). This disk is dated in a pleasant sort of way: some of the soloing is pretty "out there" and due to the economics, it is hard to imagine anyone touring today with a band like this one, consisting of ten musicians each formidable soloists in their own right. Bley's writing and arranging are strong. The 19 minute "Spangled Banner Minor..." is the standout cut.

    5 out of 5 stars jiggity jaggety.......2000-08-10

    Lush & dense spiky highbrow cocktail music.... intimate semi-big band which at times sounds like a fantasy of charles ives, frank zappa, & charles mingus, all playing together in one room.. Even tho the year is 1977, there are elements that are a precursor to what later became known as "world music". Every member of the troop plays acutely. Great Fun.

    Album Description

    The March 25, 1957, Baden-Baden concert was important for several reasons. To begin with, this performance marks the only existing recorded collaboration between Shank, Cooper and the legendary Austrian pianist Joe Zawinul, as well as the reed duo's very first recording with German trombone giant Albert Mangelsdorff. In addition, this historic concert was a type of farewell party in honor of the Edelhagen Orchestra, which switched over to the WDR in Köln shortly after. The second part of this release consists of a NWDR broadcast from Düsseldorf's Café Krüger in May 1957. The broadcast features Bud Shank as the special guest of tenor saxophonist Hans Koller's Combo, that also featured Albert Mangelsdorff, Atilla Zoller, Dr. Roland Kovac, Gary Peacock and Karl Sanner. It is important to note that while the Baden-Baden broadcast was released years ago on an obscure record label, it has been out of distribution for many years, and is extremely difficult to find. The NWDR broadcast from Düsseldorf's Café Krüger, however, has never been previously issued on any format. Both performances are featured here in their entirety.

    5 out of 5 stars Bud and Coop on tour: Great music.......2007-04-21

    In March 1957, Bob Cooper and Bud Shank, frequent associates on many West Coast recordings, took off for Europe on a 3 month tour. This CD collects a March 12th concert in Baden-Baden and a May broadcast from Dusseldorf (the latter has Hans Koller on tenor instead of Coop). Both dates feature Shank on alto or flute and Albert Mangelsdorff on trombone, and both sessions produce memorable music. Bob Cooper, a Lestorian tenorman, is edgier than usual on his solos, especially on A NIGHT IN TUNISIA. Mangelsdorff is a terrific bop trombonist a la JJ Johnson and Jimmy Cleveland, and the ideas come flowing out of his horn like honey. MADEMOISELLE BUTTERFLY is a clever tune with lots of baroque-like counterpoint in the theme. Hans Koller and guitarist Atilla Zoller are the most impressive players on the May date - both swing hard (Zoller is fantastic). I enjoyed this CD a lot and think most modern jazz fans, tilting West Coast or not, will also find much here to like.

      2 out of 5 stars Good Music, Deceptive Package, Sound Quality isn't the best.......2004-02-04

      Most LRC disks are inaccurately/misleadingly labeled, and this CD is no exception.

      The first three tracks are from Thelonious Monk, and are attributed to a 1957 group featuring Thad Jones. In actuality, "Blue Monk" dates from a 1967 Paris ORTF concert featuring a nonet with Clark Terry soloing (and is elsewhere available on CD's from Charly and FCD). "Light Blue" and "Evidence" are from a 1966 appearance at Newport, the quartet with Charlie Rouse, Larry Gales, and Ben Riley (and are available on Laserlight, Denon, etc.).

      The last two tracks are usually attributed to a 1960 Paris concert by Max Roach's quintet with the Turrentine brothers and Julian Priester, and (like the Monk tracks) are widely available elsewhere. I can attest that the Fuel 2000 CD "Kardouba" has better sound quality. (The track called "To Lady" here is called "Kardouba" on that CD. "To Lady" is a different composition, featured on Roach's "Quiet As It's Kept" album on Mercury.)

      These are all good performances, so the CD is worth hearing. But if you're hoping for a concert recording of Monk and Roach performing together, beware. And if you're a collector, you may very well have this material on other CD's.
