Music reviews of Four & More
Music Review: Another summit
Rating: 5 Stars
Well, here goes. I like this album better than "Kind of Blue". Certainly, the personnel is its equal. A 19 year old Tony Williams is brilliant on percussion, setting a new standard for jazz drumming. A young Herbie Hancock, is wonderful on piano, at times playing sensitively, at other times very muscular, with a complex harmonic and melodic sense. And Ron Carter fills Paul Chambers' shoes quite adequately, actually much better than adequately; he is a joy to listen to. Miles? Well, he has never sounded better. How many times has he played "My Funny Valentine"? A million? Here, he has never played it better, like it was his first time. From his melody statement, and then solo, he brings out his bag of effects, half valved notes, mumbles, and the rest to produce a performance without peer.
George Coleman? Well, he is certainly no John Coltrane, but he does not try to be. If you listen to him, he is a unique blend of Hawk and Prez, with the sharp tone of Hawkins and the laid back rhythm at times of Prez. He can certainly run the changes, but he also capable of extremely lyrical passages.
Tony Williams is the driving force. He is much more subtle than Philly Joe, and his drumming is much more interesting. He is fascinating to listen to.
Ron Carter is a superb bassist and owes no one any apologies. As was the custom back then, the bass was another voice in the group, not just a time keeper, and Carter does it better than anyone, with uncanny intonation and feel.
The whole is much more than the sum of its incredible parts here, and that is why this concert was so great, and why this album belongs in any Miles Davis lover's collection. I bought the LP some 40 years ago, and the playing sounds as fresh and luminous as it did back then.
There were 865 reviews of "Kind of Blue" and 3 of this album. "Blue" was a landmark. But so was this album. As Miles (among others) said: "There are only two kinds of music. Good music and bad music." This here music is GGRREEAATTT!!!
