MILES DAVIS - FOUR & MORE HYBRID SACD NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION (2013) [BRAND NEW

Description: BRAND NEW - HYBRID SUPER AUDIO CD (SACD) NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION FROM MOBILE FIDELITY! Recorded on February 12, 1964, in Philharmonic Hall at New York's Lincoln Center, Four & Morebookends My Funny Valentine. Whereas the latter spotlights ballads, this thrilling souvenir is all about quick tempos, rushing solos, left-hook rhythms, and hard-bop grooves. Drawing largely on mid- and late-1950s material, Davis — accompanied by bassist Ron Carter, drummer Tony Williams, saxophonist George Coleman, and pianist Herbie Hancock — approaches standards such as "So What," "Seven Steps to Heaven," and "Four" with biting tenacity and furious passion, the individual themes racing by as the collective barges in to take rapid, punctuation-asserting solos. Few, if any, live Davis performances match the hurricane-generating intensity and dynamic aggressiveness captured here. One reason for the vigor? Davis waived he and his musicians' fees for the concert, taking place under the auspices of a political benefit, a decision that angered some of his sidemen. Whatever the cause, Hancock swings, Coleman flexes muscles, Carter bows instructive passages, and the 19-year-old phenom Williams throws down with breathtaking agility. Amidst the melodic tangents and galloping exchanges, the quintet retains gripping control, with eight-bar dialogues between the instrumentalists and positive vamps supplying cues and endings. At last, these historic recordings are afforded the breathing room and acoustic perspective they've always deserved. For listeners that may be unfamiliar with this title, prepare to be blown away-literally and figuratively. Aficionados know what to expect on the music front, but our reissue ratchets up the thrills by several levels. Don't miss this gem. Note: This Hybrid SACD plays in both CD and SACD players, as well as all SACD-compatible DVD players. TRACKS1. So What2. Walkin’3. Joshua4. Go-Go5. Four6. Seven Steps to Heaven7.
