Miles Davis Miles Davis In Concert (2-CD)

Ranked #2 on Spin's list of "Top 10 Reissues."
"...Miles runs his horn through a wah-wah pedal, lending a mutant-fonky twist to an array of plaintive cries, karate chops, and beautiful bop runs....music of such propulsive psychedelic density that it makes the heaviest P-Funk sound like the Archies..."
"...With his inimitable trumpeting--by turns melancholy, pungent, and lyrical--at the music's center, his electrified cohorts stretch the limits of jazz, rock, and funk..."
- Rating: A
4 stars (out of 5) - "...Sly Stone is clearly the pop totem here..."
"...a visionary performance, IN CONCERT predicts hip hop, Ornette's Prime Time and Talking Heads..."
"...The ears-open interactivity of Davis' ensembles--that ability to engage in serious musical conversation while flying in the upper atmosphere--is enough to shame any current bebop-babbling jazz automaton..."
