It doesn't get much better than this: a full night of Miles Davis captured live in his prime at an intimate jazz club. In 1961, Davis, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, and drummer Jimmy Cobb recorded at San Francisco's legendary Blackhawk. Originally released in 1961 as two LPs, the complete sets, with nine previously unissued tracks, have been compiled in this superb, digitally-remastered, 2cd-set. Davis's pithy and poetic trumpet tones signature a number of standards and original compositions. Backed by Kelly's in-the-pocket pianisms, Cobb's articulate drumwork, Chamber's intelligent basslines, and Mobley's Dexter Gordon-ish sax tones, Davis bares his wounded and wonderful musical soul to an engaging and enthralled audience. The elongated and illuminated renditions of the quicksilver modal number "So What," the dancing "On Green Dolphin Street," and the Latin-tinged "Neo" bridge the 1959 masterpiece LP Kind of Blue and the forthcoming '60s superband with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams. The scene-stealer on this date is Mobley. His ebullient tone and sterling improvisations remind us of Miles Davis's equally impressive talents and a bandleader ─ Miles' April 21-22, 1961 stint at San Francisco's fabled Blackhawk nightclub was previously documented on a 2 LP set, but now all four sets from those two nights are available on this expanded 4-CD set, which includes no less than 13 previously unreleased selections! Remember, this is the sublime quintet line-up of Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb and hank Mobley, performing such Davis classics as 'So What,' 'Walkin',' 'On Green Dolphin Street', 'Someday My Prince Will Come' and more. Original liner notes by Ralph Gleason together with updated notes by trumpeter Eddie Henderson & rare photos of all the musicians round out one of the jazz reissues of the year!
