Free Music Notes for Miles Davis - Greatest Hits [Columbia 1997]
Free Music Review: Greatest Hits? Was that meant to be ironic?
Hit: 5 Stars
Miles Davis didn't have hits when compared to pop music. You won't see this or a similar compilation touted on late night TV ads for the K-Tell label. But within the genre of jazz, Miles had hits like crazy. I think that Kind of Blue is one of the top selling jazz albums of all time, and this has two tunes from that album, but they are different versions, live and a bit grittier.
I am writing this review the day before Father's Day, so I just want to say that my dad had this album, the vinyl LP, and after many many years had gone by I finally discovered it. I played trumpet in Elementary School, inspired by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, but gave it up around Junior High. When I finally "heard" it I complained to my dad, why hadn't he exposed this to me earlier, so I would have been inspired and wouldn't have given up the trumpet? Of course, I wasn't really ready to comprehend it at that age, and he probably did expose it to me but it went in one ear and out the other. So, dad, I appologize for blaming you for ruining my musical career.
The CD is different than the LP version, though the tunes and running order are the same, some different versions are used, and they are longer, unedited. The 2 from Kind of Blue, So What and All Blues, are live versions, not the ones on the Kind of Blue album. Someday My Prince Will Come, E.S.P., Seven Steps To Heaven, and Round Midnight are all the title tracks of their respective albums, so if you want to explore them further, they will be easy to find. Round Midnight has a ballad treatment by Miles, then the tempo is kicked up a notch for a Coltrane solo. Really nice piano on Prince, that I thought was Bill Evans, but is actually Wynton Kelly.
This "Greatest Hits" is a great introduction, just don't stop here.
One more thing, Happy Father's Day, dad.
