Amazing Adventure

"I always find myself inspired when listening to the 60's Blue Note catalog. This is no exception; the ensemble works well as a unit. Some see this as a "free" record and claim that it is lacking because of such, but I don't believe they have digested the very important influence of the avante-garde upon the "second great quintet." To put the avante-garde to the side as if it is nothing is to ignore a part of jazz as important as the growth of bebop. If you like this album, I also suggest Wayne Shorter's "The All Seeing Eye", a very dense work that after many listens is quite rewarding. Also, pick up any album of Miles with this group; I doubt I'll ever stop listening to them."
Le "chant" tellurique

"Cette batterie, Tony Williams en fait le point de fusion des forces de la nature. Ce qu'il joue c'est le grondement de la terre et le feu du ciel. C'est ce que j'entends dans son "echo". Dans cet album, il est intéressant d'entendre se confronter deux saxophonistes qui se sont succédé chez Miles Davis : Sam Rivers et Wayne Shorter. Gary Peacock est tout-à-fait exaltant."
