Miles Davis - The Complete Live Recordings 1956 1957
Review by robin jones
The Complete Live Recordings 1956-1957 by Miles Davis is a comprehensive compilation of live performances by the legendary jazz trumpeter during a pivotal period in his career. This box set includes recordings from various venues and lineups, showcasing the evolution of Davis' sound and style.
The album features Davis' classic quintet with John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, as well as collaborations with other jazz luminaries such as pianist Thelonious Monk and drummer Art Blakey. The performances capture the raw energy and spontaneity of live jazz, with Davis and his bandmates pushing the boundaries of improvisation and experimentation.
The sound quality of the recordings is impressive, considering the age of the material, and the remastering process has brought out the nuances and subtleties of the music. The liner notes provide valuable context and insights into the performances, and the packaging is tastefully done.
