Tony Pusey Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Dont know if anybody is still listening, but Jazz Review 73 has a whole page review written by Mark Gilbert which pretty much amounts to a devastating critical panning. Oh and for what its worth, says that it will be available in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Wood Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 How so? Too repetitive? I've heard the entire set and I think it is mighty fine. Funky, rockin' document of early 70's Miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pusey Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Dont shoot the messenger! at its best this music was largly untutored,unrefinedand unfinished is the upbeat conclusion to the review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Not that there's anything wrong with that. .. . I don't agree with that assessment though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 If that's the same Mark Gilbert that wrote all those "barbarinas at the gate" liner essays for Prestige back in the late-60s/early 70s, his opinion of this music neither surprises nor interests me. He's wonderful when writing about music that is within his niche, but this music ain't in that niche, not even slightly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) Bad news - the set has been delayed again. Vincent Wilburn wants Sony to add a sticker that says: '2005 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee'. Bertrand.

Claude Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 This morning's USA Today has a full page devoted to the best box sets released in the past year, and one is the Cellar Door box! No mention of the delay. Finding the Cellar Door in such mainstream company is quite surprising. Jazz Count Basie, The Complete Clef/ Verve Fifties Studio Recordings (Mosaic, 8 CDs, $136) Count Basie re-forms his big band with an updated post-Swing Era sound. Nat King Cole, The Complete Capitol Transcription Sessions (Blue Note, 3 CDs, $35) Trio sessions for radio broadcasts from 1946 to 1950. Miles Davis, The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 (Columbia Legacy, 6 CDs, $89) This band marked Davis' permanent switch from acoustic to electric bass in his working groups, but it never did any studio recordings. A four-night stand at the Washington, D.C., club documents Davis' move. Tommy Dorsey, The Sentimental Gentleman of Swing: Centennial Collection (RCA, 3 CDs, $40) A portrait of the legendary horn player and bandleader, from sideman to performances with Ellington, Sinatra and Elvis. Bill Evans, The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings, 1961 (Riverside, 3 CDs, $25) The late jazz pianist's oft-packaged 1961 trio recordings find their fullest release here, with the addition of one cut that was interrupted by electrical problems. Billie Holiday, The Complete Verve Studio Master Takes (Verve, 6 CDs, $55) The jazz singer's work from 1945-1959 is captured on 100 tracks. The Jazz Crusaders, Pacific Jazz Quintet Studio Sessions (Mosaic, 6 CDs, $102) The early work of the venerable band that included pianist Joe Sample, tenor saxophonist Wilton Felder, drummer Stix Hooper and trombonist Wayne Henderson. Jelly Roll Morton, The Complete Library of Congress Recordings (Rounder, 8 CDs, $115) Folklorist Alan Lomax recorded Morton playing and reminiscing in 1938, comprising a colorful history of early 20th-century New Orleans and its music. Buddy Rich, The Complete Argo, Emarcy and Verve Small Group Sessions (Mosaic, 7 CDs, $119) The drum great is captured in various settings between 1953 and 1961, when he was at his creative peak. Anthologies & series Columbia Small Group Swing Sessions (Mosaic, 8 CDs, $136) Columbia opened its doors for impromptu recording sessions for New York's thriving jazz scene's finest musicians. Concord Picante 25th Anniversary Collection (Concord Picante, 4 CDs, $25) Afro-Cuban big bands, bossa nova, charanga and calypso, with tracks from Cal Tjader, Charlie Byrd, Eddie Palmieri and percussionists/bandleaders Poncho Sanchez, Mongo Santamaria and Tito Puente. Mosaic Select sets (3 CDs, $39) A series reissuing neglected jazz recordings, featuring boxes from Andrew Hill, Art Pepper, Johnny Richards, Fred Slack, Charles Tolliver and Pacific jazz piano trios. Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar (Sony Legacy, 4 CDs, $40) This set spans 1906-2001 and includes Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, Les Paul, Wes Montgomery and Grant Green. A Quiet Revolution (Windham Hill, 4 CDs, $40) The label celebrates 30 years of smooth jazz with tunes from such artists as George Winston, Will Ackerman and Jim Brickman. The Complete Verve Remixed Deluxe Box (Verve, 4 CDs, $36) The set compiles all three Verve Remixed compilations, featuring tunes reinvented by leading DJs and producers, plus a fourth CD/DVD of videos and four unreleased tracks. http://www.usatoday.com/life/lifestyle/hol...ts-inside_x.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Davis in Munich This is being issued by the Dutch label Blaricum which already released the same 1988 Munich concert in video Price looks good for a 3CD set but is this just another gig from the 1988 Miles concert tours?

If this is the gig from July 10th then I remember it being a good one as latter day Miles sets go. Miles was in pretty good shape for it and of course Kenny Garrett was in the band.

Rosco Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 This just in.... NEW YORK (Billboard) - After several delays, the six-CD boxed set "Miles Davis -- The Cellar Door Sessions 1970" will finally see the light of day. Recorded live at the height of Davis' full-flame electric funk period, post-"Bitches Brew," the Columbia/Legacy discs will hit stores on December 27. The set features an all-star lineup including Keith Jarrett on Rhodes and electric keyboards, guitarist John McLaughlin, saxophonist Gary Bartz, electric bassist Michael Henderson, drummer Jack DeJohnette and percussionist Airto Moreira. "When you think of who was in the band and how they were playing and reacting to Miles' extremely discreet and very ambiguous directions, it's just amazing," McLaughlin told Billboard earlier this year. "Keith was playing like a man possessed on two keyboards, and we all had wah-wah pedals." Bob Belden, who produced the previously unreleased compilation with Adam Holzman, says, "These guys had the idea of how rock and jazz worked together, and they got more of a focused sound out of their instruments than the rock guys. Miles was capturing Cream and Hendrix and extending it into improvisation in a powerful live setting. After this came fusion, most of which sounds childish in comparison." In related news, at Mo Pitkin's House of Satisfaction in New York, Davis aficionado Greg Masters hosts Miles Monday, a free, three-hour weekly listening session featuring his extensive collection of Davis' standard and bootleg recordings. "This is a chance for people to hear Miles' music, especially the electric stuff, that never gets played on the radio," Masters says.
