 Rating:  - ahead of its timeIt is understandable why this music was so unjustly trashed when it came out in 1973. For the most part, jazz critics and fans thought of funk as pimpy street trash, and people listening to the Ohio Players or Sly Stone probably didn't understand the more esoteric directions in jazz. This music mixes both, and is amazing. The reduntant grooves come out of funk, but Miles mixed in timing concepts and musical reductions cooked up by Stockhausen, and by association, the great German band, ... Read More Rating: - Exceeds My ExpectationNormally, when listening to previously unreleased music, I find it mediocre at best (which explains why it wasn't released in the first place). However, the unreleased tracks in this set are outstanding. In particular, "What They Do" is an incredible bit of what the music that Miles was recording during the early 70's is all about--hard driving, intense, and a cut that, no matter how many times I listen to it, I keep hearing something different. Regardless of what you call this brand of music, it is ... Read More Rating: - Bring the FunkThis 6-disc set chronicling Miles Davis' studio recordings from 1972-1975 is outstanding. It features about 2 discs worth of previously unreleased material, all of which I consider to be indispensible. The sound is improved as the entire set got 24/96 remastering treatment from Sony. Trying to list out who is playing here would be an exercise in futility, as the sidemen are too numerous to list. Suffice to say, this set features some unreleased McGlaughlin work from the actual On the Corner Sessions, ... Read More Rating: - The Funkilicious Foray Into FusionThe boxed set is a vast exploration into the sessions which produced On the Corner, Big Fun and Get Up With It. On the Corner was released on July 1, 1972, and the 6-discs encompass 16 sessions in Columbia Studio B (New York City) from March 9, 1972, to May 5, 1975. Utilizing tape loops, rhythms & grooves and musicians not burdened with playing charts, Miles Davis as ensemble leader shapes the scene through colors, textures and moods, which brings an intensity of sound. With the wah-wah pedal ... Read More Rating:  - To quoteT. Rex, 'Rip Off'A hundred and something dollars, and for music that anyone who is likely to shell out the outrageous price for in all likelihood already owns - not just "On The Corner" (which is an all time top 10 album in my book), but the classic double album "Get Up With It" (1974)and slightly less classic "Big Fun" (issued 1974, but a collection of outtakes dating back as far as far as five years). I'd much prefer a single (or at most doubl) CD of the original album with the "On The Corner" outtakes (not many for a six ... Read More |
