Free Music Review: Depends on Your Ears and Understanding of the MD Aesthetic
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a Miles Davis listener for over 30 years and I just received a copy of "Doo-Bop". Technically an old guy (55) and I'M giving this 5 stars, i.e., enjoyment of this music has NOTHING to do with age as previous reviewer "Duncan Page" asserts. There is no way this is a 3 star release as shown here on Amazon. I instantly "took" to "Doo-Bop", in fact, I like it so much that I'm going to play it yet again and then probably again. The ONLY downside to "Doo-Bop" is that by CD standards, this is really an EP (39 minutes).
I own a large collection of Miles Davis recordings starting with the Charlie Parker sides on Savoy/Dial all the way through to the acid-funk of Agharta/Pangea and on to his melodic/rhythmic focus of "Amandla". I've also read four biographies and his autobiography (I'm a musician and want to learn as much as I can about the musicians I listen to, especially their thinking and their process).
Miles is about change. He has a personal sound that is instantly recognizable but that sound is always combined with something new that, more often than not, signals a change that takes many years for others to get their head around. Appreciating this release is all about how well you understand Miles' pursuit of his art and the ability to listen to something that has a little joy in it. It also helps if you like funky grooves that just won't quit.
I resisted this CD for years and years (almost 2 decades) as I built my collection. In fact I resisted all over the Warner Bros releases; however, every time I saw this I would just shake my head in disgust as I'd heard he conspired with "rap" artists to put this one together. I was just like those who shook their heads in disgust at Miles when he went electric back in 1969.
Recently I have been filling in the missing pieces of my collection - some of the more obscure Prestige sides ("Miles Davis & Horns") and the Warner Bros catalog. I have almost every release that Miles was actively involved in (not the bootlegs) between 1948 and 1991 and I have to write that Doo-Bop is as fresh and exciting as anything else Miles did in his lifetime. I LOVE this music and those who belittle it really do not "get" Miles Davis and his aesthetic. This music is unlike anything else Miles did in his lifetime (I do realize Doo-Bop was completed after his death). It isn't "fragile" or "dark" or "brooding" like much of Miles' work, there is a lot of "joy" in this music and perhaps this is why some feel it isn't up to scratch? Clearly Miles was having a lot of fun here. There is not one bad track on this CD. It's just great music and, from a self-avowed Miles expert, it's fun and has as much artistic integrity as anything else he released in his lifetime. No, that doesn't mean it is as complex or that there's a lot of virtuosity demonstrated. This is all about feeling, it isn't meant to be Bitches Brew or Kind of Blue. I do wish I hadn't resisted Doo-Bop for so many years and, if you really do understand this man's art, you need this in YOUR collection.
