24/04/2007 The best of early Miles Davis, 1949-61
Jazz Library, the excellent new Friday night series on BBC Radio 3, managed to last about two months without featuring Miles, but eventually succumbed last week with a lovely programme analysing the recordings of Davis, 1949-61. Presenter Alyn Shipton drew on the innumerable insights of fellow trumpeter Guy Barker for the discussion of the Gil Evans collaborations, and broadcaster Brian Morton for the later material. I’m already looking forward to the inevitable Jazz Library sequels covering later Miles recordings. The Jazz Library series is a revelation - a fine intro for beginners exploring the best of the back catalogue. You can hear this fine programme via the web until this Friday:
* Boplicity * Blues for Pablo * Studio Discussion * Springsville (overdub take 1) * Bess You Is My Woman Now * Solea * Diner Au Motel * Straight No Chaser * Oleo * Some Day My Prince Will Come Gerry Smith
