Description
“Miles Davis at Newport 1958” is natural, acoustic jazz. Less than a year after this live recording from the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, these same six men - Miles Davis, Julian ‘Cannonball’ Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb - would make jazz history with the cool modal classic, “Kind Of Blue”. On that hot summer night, though, this band was far from cool as they absolutely smoked through Charlie Parker's "Ah-Leu-Cha" at breakneck speed to open the show. The rest of the set follows suit: "Fran-Dance," “Straight, No Chaser,” "Two Bass Hit," "Bye Bye Blackbird" (which has never sounded like this before or since), and the blistering "The Theme" all burn with white heat. The band swings hard, Miles’ melodies heading for the sky with an abandon rare in his discography. John Coltrane’s solos, particularly on the lengthy “Bye Bye Blackbird,” are knotted-forehead rants, forecasting the assaultive heights he’d reach in his solo career. “Miles Davis at Newport 1958” was the first gig where this band became a great band - something special in the history of jazz.
