Free Music Notes for Round About Midnight
Free Music Review: Great! - But Cannonball Adderley is not on this recording
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD is one of the great hard bop jazz recordings of all time. I agree with the previous 4 crtiques, but want to correct the Amazon editor; Mr Holley. Cannonball Adderley is not on this recording. he joined the band shortly after this session.Free Music Review: Decent Miles Album, But Some Not So Great Tunes
Hit: 3 Stars
Let first say that I love Miles Davis' early work, but I found "Round About Midnight" to be one of his weakest albums in his entire early discography. Tunes like "Ah-Leu-Cha," "Two Bass Hit," (which at times sounds like a knock-off of Monk's "Epistrophy") and "Tad's Delight" really bring this album down to a mediocre level. Don't get wrong, the playing from this quintet is top-notch, but these tunes I mentioned are not worthy compared to the rest of the album. "Round About Midnight" is an example of how you could go wrong with John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. All outstanding musicians, but they seemed to be very disconnected on this recording.Free Music Review: jazz and why it's hot
Hit: 3 Stars
This 'Round about Midnight, is not as good as some of the jazz I've heard. It sounds like Miles just got out of a treatment center and he simply asked John Coltrane to help him up.I think jazz should be free flowing improvised and jazz man, you know. Example, John Coltrane's: Love Supreme.Free Music Review: much overrated
Hit: 1 Stars
It's a puzzle why people praise this mediocre trumpet blower so much. You can hardly hear him without a mute, and the mute is the refuge of the mediocre. Maybe after hearing Chet Baker, he felt ashamed to play without it. His sound is nervous, no doubt reflecting the lousy life
he must have led. I know he, unfortunately, suffered a lot of prejudice in his lifetime: I bet that when he turned on his tv he didn't see one single black in a sitcom(Today he would hardly see a white! Things are so ridiculous and hypocritical that in one movie Jennifer Connely's character adopted a black boy, the boring Will Smith's son' character). But it's not our fault; we pay to hear good music, not to put up with somebody trying to purge his demons. In one live performance Davis even played with his back toward the audience.
We pay for music and deserve better, not this crap.
