Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions, THe - Miles Davis Quintet (The)

My Jazzy 'Birth Of Cool' by Miles Davies Remastered.

Advantages: Excellent Jazz Album.
Disadvantages: None!

Darn that dream, I dream each night. You say you love me and hold me tight. But when I awake and you are out of sight. Oh, darn that dream. Reasons For Purchasing I was first introduced to this type of Jazz music by My Grandmother and Grandfather who loved listening to Miles Davis and of course their choice of music rubbed off on my own Mother, who I remember as a child, played the Miles Davis Quintet quite a lot also. I took this CD from my Grandmothers collection after she died three years ago and I am glad I did, as now I have got the chance to write about this CD. This is quite an interesting album I have to say, it features twelve excellent jazz songs from Miles Davis. I listen to this CD when I am relaxed, feeling low or even in a party mood, as this is a great album for every occasion. This album seems to have ...

Review of Birth Of The Cool [Remastered] - Miles Davis

Kind Of Blue - Miles Davis

Advantages: Virtuoso trumpet at its best
Disadvantages: Only the re-released version has the sound quality it deserves

The first time I heard this CD was with my Grandparents as a young child, I didn't understand and didn't appreciate the beauty of the music, I remember my granddad tapping his toes and sipping his whiskey, humming gently along with the trumpet solos, this fond memory was abruptly brought forward whilst browsing in a local alternative record shop. I spotted "A Kind Blue" and instantly withdrew my wallet and the CD was mine. As readers you will probably like to know about the music is like! Well simply it is divine, some find Miles Davis's music too intense and muddled, but it takes either an uninterested listener to ignore this or a fascinated listener to understand and appreciate it, I hope that the buyer will lean towards the latter of these two opposites. ...

Review of Kind Of Blue [Remastered] - Miles Davis

The Lost Generation Classic Of A Quintet of Asses

Advantages: Classic Hemingway novel, full of delicous characters and parallels
Disadvantages: Not for those who dont like his work, and feminists might get upset

a real ordeal to get through (even the Professor agreed with me!). The second book I was faced with reading was Ernest Hemingway?s classic ?The Sun Also Rises,? which was a piercing look at the ?Lost Generation,? or rather the group of individuals who had lost a sense of purpose and direction after The Great War (or World War I). Every war has a ?lost generation,? I believe, because it makes me think of the soldiers who returned from Vietnam and were treated terribly by the U.S. government, causing many of them to exile to Europe and Mexico; no doubt the Iraq war will result in the same thing. So, despite the fact that ?The Sun Also Rises? was originally written in 1927, it still is timeless in many ways. ****************************************************************** HEMINGWAY: LITERARY GENIUS OR MYSOGNIST ...
