This is part of the Prestige Records 50th Anniversary Commemorative Special Edition series. THE MILES DAVIS ALL-STARS: WALKIN' comprises tracks from two different sessions recorded in 1954. Davis was in a transitional period during this time, integrating the innovations from his BIRTH OF THE COOL period with the genre-defining, forward-thinking post-bop he would perfect a couple of years later with his first great quintet. Yet Miles's transitional albums are usually more polished, developed, and engaging than a lot of other artists' definitive albums, and such is the case with WALKIN'. Whether on originals ("Solar") or standards ("Love Me or Leave Me"), the sessions boast impeccable playing and superb interplay between the musicians, who number among the best of the era. Pianist Horace Silver, drummer Kenny Clarke, and trombonist J.J. Johnson are among the personnel, and one can hear the beginnings of the synergy Miles was searching for and would find with his quintet (especially in the dynamics between his trumpet and Lucky Thompson's sax, which foreshadows his chemistry with John Coltrane). WALKIN' is one of Miles Davis' most popular, influential recordings--an anthem for generations of hard bop contenders. Miles had just recorded a memorable Blue Note session with Horace Silver, Percy Heath and Art Blakey on March 6, 1954, and these sessions expand on that hard swinging affair. Bop innovator Kenny "Klook" Clarke was an ideal drummer for Miles, and imparts a shimmering relaxation and grace to these April 1954 sessions. Miles discovers a new tonal color on WALKIN', employing a cup mute throughout--and to dramatic effect. Later he would adopt the buzzier, more penetrating Harmon mute, played close up on the microphone for a singular melodic effect on ballads--it would become something of a trademark. Here Miles uses the more open cup mute to get an extraordinarily sensual sound on his lovely melody "Solar," followed by the obscure but gifted Davey Schildkraut, whose wafting lines and airy tone suggest a cool Charlie Parker (a la Paul Desmond and Lee Konitz). On a bracing gallop through Dizzy Gillespie's riff-o-rama "Blue 'N Boogie," Horace Silver feeds the soloists an endless series of two-handed hosannas and amens, as Heath and Clarke surge along on cruise control, offering pointed commentary. And what solos! Davis wind-surfing over Clarke's mentholated cymbal beat, trombonist J.J. Johnson's lustrous ... | See an error? Submit a change request | ||||||||||||||||
