A Lark Ascending Posted June 2, 2003 Report Posted June 2, 2003 I never have understood the controversy over this set. Maybe it's to do with Coltrane and Shorter being legends whilst Mobley is only revered amongst more specialised jazz enthusiasts. Lacking two of the faces from tenor-saxophone-Mount-Rushmore there has to be something wrong, in some people's minds. I've just played disc 3 (started with the wrong box!) and it just confirms what I'd always felt. Some of the most good humoured Miles Davis on record. Worth it if only for Wynton Kelly. Impossible to listen to him without grinning with delight. If this was the only Davis disc to survive everyone would be totally baffled about the moody 'Prince of Darkness' hype that surrounds the man's image. Sheer enjoyment. Quote
