Music reviews of Miles from India (TWO CD SET)
Music Review: MILES SMILES FROM NIRVANA
Rating: 5 Stars
IF YOU LOVED THE ECLECTIC (AND ELECTRIC!) JAZZ FUSION MUSIC THAT MILES DAVIS RECORDED IN THE LATE 60'S AND EARLY 70'S (BITHCES BREW, BIG FUN, SORCERER, NERFERTITI, JACK JOHNSON, LIVE/EVIL, IN A SILENT WAY, ON THE CONRER, ETC, ETC), THEN YOU WILL GET TO APPRECIATE THIS TRUE LABOR OF LOVE THAT COMBINES MILES' WORK FROM THAT PERIOD WITH A HOST OF GREAT MUSICIANS THAT HE RECORDED WITH (ALMOST TOO NUMEROPUS TO NAME), AND SOME STELLAR MUSICIANS FROM INDIA PLAYING TRADITIONAL INDIAN INSTRUMENTS. MILES WOULD APPROVE, AND I AM SURE HE IS LOOKING DOWN FROM SOMEWHERE RIGHT NOW AND SMILING. GREAT DOUBLE CD RELEASE. PRODUCED BY BOB BELDEN, WHO YOU COULD EASILY DESCRIBE AS THE "CARETAKER' OF MILES' MUSIC. THIS CD TRULY CAPTURES THE SPIRIT AND SOUND OF THOSE EARLIER RECORDINGS, WITH MORE OF A WORLD SOUND TO IT THAT ENHANCES IT EVEN MORE.
Description of Miles from India (TWO CD SET)
In a startlingly original recreation of music associatedwith jazz legend Miles Davis, producer-archivist Bob
Belden, renowned for his Grammy Award-winning
reissue work on a series of Miles Davis boxed sets for
Sony/Columbia, along with co-arranger Louiz Banks
(celebrated keyboardist from India), has recast familiar
themes from such landmark recordings as Bitches
Brew, In A Silent Way, and Kind of Blue with an East
Meets West sensibility on Miles...From India. An
incredibly ambitious project involving two dozen
musicians from two separate continents recording in
studios around the world, Miles...From India is a cross-cultural summit meeting that puts a provocative pan-global spin on such Miles
classics as All Blues, Spanish Key, So What, It s About That Time and Jean Pierre.
Sitar and tablas, ghatam and khanjira, mridangam and Carnatic violin blend seamlessly with muted trumpet and saxophones, screaming
electric guitar and grooving electric bass lines, piano, upright bass and drums on this profound fusion of Indian classical and American
jazz. Recorded in Mumbai and Madras, India and New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, the music on Miles...From India was performed by
classical and jazz musicians from India with the addition of musicians who have recorded or performed with Miles Davis over the span of
five decades.
The Miles alumni included on the sessions are saxophonists Dave Liebman (1972-74) and Gary Bartz (1970-71), guitarists Mike Stern
(1981-84), Pete Cosey (1973-76) and John McLaughlin (1969-72), bassists Ron Carter (1963-69), Michael Henderson (1970-76), Marcus
Miller (1981-1984), Benny Rietveld (1987-91), keyboardists Chick Corea (1968-72), Adam Holzman (1985-87) and Robert Irving III (1980-
88), drummers Jimmy Cobb (1958-63), Leon 'Ndugu' Chancler (1971), Lenny White (1969) and Vince Wilburn (1981, 1984-1987) and
tabla player Badal Roy (1972-3). The Indian contingent is represented by keyboardist Louiz Banks, drummer Gino Banks, American-born
alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, sitarist Ravi Chari, Vikku Vinayakram (a charter member of Shakti) on ghatam, V. Selvaganesh (a
member of Shakti and Remember Shakti) on khanjira, U. Shrinivas (from Remember Shakti) on electric mandolin, Brij Narain on sarod,
Dilshad Khan on sarangi, Sridhar Parthasarathy on mridangam, Taufiq Qureshi and A. Sivamani on percussion, Kala Ramnath on Carnatic
violin, Rakesh Chaurasia on flute and Shankar Mahadevan & Sikkil Gurucharan on Indian classical vocals.
