This remaster by Mark Wilder ----------------------------------------------------------- Tomes are available annotating the importance of this recording. The musical & social impact of Miles Davis, his collaborative efforts with Gil Evans, & in particular their reinvention of George Gershwin's Porgy & Bess are indeed profound. However, the most efficient method of extricating the rhetoric & opining is to experience the recording. Few other musical teams would have had the ability to remain true to the undiluted spirit & multifaceted nuance of this epic work. However, no other musical teams were Miles Davis & Gil Evans. It was Evans' intimate knowledge of the composition as well as the performer that allowed him to so definitively capture the essence of both. The 4 dates needed to complete work on Porgy & Bess include contributions from several members of his most recent musical aggregate: Julian "Cannonball" Adderley (alto sax), Paul Chambers (bass), & Jimmy Cobb (drums). Although the focus & emphasis is squarely on Davis throughout, the contributions of the quartet on "Prayer (Oh Doctor Jesus)," "I Loves You, Porgy," & "There's a Boat That's Leaving Soon for New York" are immeasurable. They provide a delicate balance in style &, under the direction of Evans, incorporate much of the same energy & intonation here as they did to their post-bop recordings. There is infinitely more happening on Porgy & Bess, however, with much of the evidence existing in the subtle significance of the hauntingly lyrical passages from Danny Banks' (alto flute) solos, which commence on "Fishermen, Strawberry & Devil Crab." Or the emotive bass & tuba duet that runs throughout "Buzzard Song." The impeccable digital remastering & subsequent reissue -- which likewise applies to the Miles Davis & Gil Evans: The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings box set -- only magnifies the refulgence of Porgy & Bess. Likewise, 2 previously unissued performances have been appended to the original baker's dozen. No observation or collection of American jazz can be deemed complete without this recording. Tracks: 01.
