Hi Everybody!

I have to apologize for the dirth of posts lately due to a recent vacation.

Anyhow, I put together a chilled Miles Davis compilation for my mp3 player and I thought you might like it, too. It's culled from the 1951-1961 time period & exclusively from his jazz combo work. This 3+ hours set worked wonders on my vacation!

Here is the tracklist:

01. Yesterdays
02. My Old Flame
03. How Deep Is The Ocean
04. I Waited For You
05. Smooch
06. Blue Haze
07. When Lights Are Low
08. Blue Room
09. You Don't Know What Love Is
10. Bags' Groove [Take 1]
11. 'Round Midnight (DreamTime Edit)
12. The Man I Love [Take 1] (DreamTime Edit)
13. I See Your Face Before Me
14. Green Haze
15. Nature Boy
16. Easy Living
17. Changes
18. There Is No Greater Love
19. My Funny Valentine
20. You're My Everything
21. Something I Dreamed Last Night
22. When I Fall In Love
23. It Never Entered My Mind
24. 'Round Midnight
25. On Green Dolphin Street (DreamTime Edit)
26. Fran Dance
27. Stella By Starlight
28. So What
29. Freddie Freeloader
30. Blue in Green
31. Flamenco Sketches
32. Old Folks
33. Drad-Dog
34. I Thought About You

As there are a couple of DreamTime Edit tracks in this collection, I thought it was OK to post it here.

Here is a video of "So What":



Enjoy!

MILES DAVIS - Red China Blues (chronovisor mix) [repost]

Today I have the big honor to present you a fabulous musician, who had probably the most influence in my life since I know his music (which only begun to me in 1983).
The tune was the first in a row of the so-called Columbia Studio E recording sessions, which started in 1972 and ended with his mid-70s-retirement in 1976. One year earlier he played his last concert in Japan. His retirement because of abusing drugs and being sick should last at least 5 years, rather he did rise again like the Phoenix from the cinder.
The today's track is a very fine blues he recorded on March 9, 1972. Interestingly he didn't release it immediately, but 2 years later on his last studio album of the 70s 'Getting Up With it'. For me it's just a pity that he didn't release some more songs of this genre, but I'm happy with that one anyway. I myself just stretched it, and, my gosh, it wasn't too easy finding a way making the song as easy listening as it is at least. Just.....
ENJOY! Floyd Anderson.

Here is the info:

The performers:
MILES DAVIS: electric trumpet
WALLY CHAMBERS: harmonica
CORNELL DUPREE: electric guitar
MICHAEL HENDERSON: electric bass guitar
BERNARD PURDIE: drums
AL FOSTER: drums
JAMES 'MTUME' FOREMAN: percussions
WADE MARCUS: brass arrangements (the brass players are not known)
BILLY JACKSON: rhythm arrangements
