The Miles Davis Lost Quintet And Other Revolutionary Ensembles

Miles Davis's Bitches Brew is one of the most iconic albums in American music the preeminent landmark and fertile seedbed of jazz-fusion Fans have been fortunate in the past few years to gain access to Davis's live recordings from this time when he was working with an ensemble that has come to be known as the Lost Quintet In this book jazz historian and musician Bob Gluck explores the performances of this revolutionary group Davis's first electric band to illuminate the thinking of one of our rarest geniuses and by extension the extraordinary transition in American music that he and his fellow players ushered in Gluck listens deeply to the uneasy tension between this group's driving rhythmic groove and the sonic and structural openness surprise and experimentation they were always pushing
toward There he hears and outlines a fascinating web of musical interconnection that brings Davis's funk-inflected sensibilities into conversation with the avant-garde worlds that players like Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane were developing Going on to analyze the little-known experimental groups Circle and the Revolutionary Ensemble Gluck traces deep resonances across a commercial gap between the celebrity Miles Davis and his less famous but profoundly innovative peers The result is a deeply attuned look at a pivotal moment when once-disparate worlds of American music came together in explosively creative combinations
