Chris Connor Sings the George Gershwin Almanac of Song

Search: Theres A Boat Thats Leaving Soon For New York
by: Chris Connor

Release Date October 25, 1990
After forty plus years, this material remains timeless, as a good classic ought. It's repeatedly listenable; reveals something new every time; has many moments one awaits with anticipation. The Gershwins will continue to get ever greater in apprehension of their place in Music as time goes by. Everybody takes a crack at interpreting the Gershwins, but not even Ella nor Sassy nail it like Chris Connor has.

The Miles Davis and Gil Evans: Complete Columbia Studio Recordings

Search: Theres A Boat Thats Leaving Soon For New York
by: Miles Davis, Gil Evans

Release Date May 11, 2004
I purchased this based on my previous experience with some other assorted Miles Davis CD's. I'm on the third disc and honestly I have it on repeat and it is not tiring or fatiguing - both my wife and I (we are in our 20's) love it! There is so much music in this set that its a new experience everytime. If you like Miles Davis you will love this disc set!

George Gershwin's Porgy & Bess

Search: Theres A Boat Thats Leaving Soon For New York
by: Clark Terry, Jeff Lindberg & the Chicago Jazz Orchestra

Release Date September 14, 2004
I don't often like remakes better than the original (12 Angry Men, for a movie example). I don't know that I would call this a remake as much as it is a variation on a theme. To explain, this album takes the Gil Evans arrangements that Miles made famous, even immortal forty-plus years ago, and takes them in a subtly different direction. For one, the solo instrument is a fluglehorn and not a trumpet and the richer, more sonorous sound changes the feel significantly.
And for another, Clark Terry isn't Miles Davis. I have to say that for myself, I LIKE Terry's playing better than Miles's in absolute terms, while acknowledging that Miles is the more important and innovative musician. (My favorite jazz genre is the swing-era small group. so there's a bias.)But ... Read More:

Search: Theres A Boat Thats Leaving Soon For New York
by: Miles Davis

Release Date January 08, 2008
Excellent CD BOX!

With some of the most significant Miles Davis albums EVER, this is a good place two start your exploration of this giant's opus. Two great albums orchestrated by Gil Evans ("Porgy and Bess" as well as "Miles Ahead") are equally rewarding as smaller group efforts with John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley ("Round about Midnight" and "Milestones") plus a rare compillation of the small group efforts ("58 sessinos"; featuring Cannonball, Coltrane, Bill Evans...).

BTW, on "Mile Ahead" you can hear Miles' artistry in flugelhorn; while the orchestral albums are an excellent exercise in cool-jazz, smaller groups develop hard-bop and occasionally hints of modal jazz as well.
In both cases Miles and company play beautiful standards ... Read More:
