Advantages: Excellent Jazz Album. Disadvantages: None!
a little bit of everything included and each song holds also, some fantastic memories for me, about my Grandparents, when I was growing up. They both used to dance around a lot to this CD and those memories of this music are happy ones to me that make me smile to myself when I think about this. I love listening to this album a lot and not because I am a huge jazz fan or anything, but because my Grandparents and all these songs, really mean a lot to me.
This Birth of cool CD was re-masteredin 1998, as it originally was on a LP and sounded a bit crackly. Well this newer version is not perfect either, but it sure is a lot better sound quality than before. A further remake of this album called ?The complete Birth Of Cool is now also available with lots more added tracks by MilesDavis and it sounds great.
A Little Bit About MilesDavis ...
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 MilesDavis'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. ...
Advantages: His trumpet and beautiful blending of sexaphone Disadvantages: Boplicity, i didnt like it

Boplicity
Truly, this song didnt catch my attention. This music is too slow unlike the other tracks. Though others love this music, it never attracted me. I dont know why!!!
Rocker
The title misleads you to a song with slow Jazz music incidental with MilesDavis trumpet wishing you with ever green bibop style mixed in equal proportions with classical to yield a classical work
Irsrael
This song is included in the album remastered. It is a nice song to relax and hope every one chill out with the trumpet performed by MilesDavies. Though MilesDavis trumpet attracts you, it is the saxophone sound which steals the show!!!
Rouge
A Jazz fusion with great piano effect that instantly makes your foot to tap at the music and dance to its tone. You will just enjoy it!!!
Darn that dream
This is only work in the album which has ...

With MILES IN THE SKY, Davis began to consciously incorporate elements of popular music and blues into the quintet's open-ended style of group improvisation. This was an attempt to reach out, not sell out. By 1968, groups such as the Beatles had stretched the parameters of the pop song form way beyond their humble harmonic beginnings, while the blues trio Cream significantly elevated the level of musicianship and added a bold improvisational dimension to live performances. It was impossible to ignore these developments. And as Miles indicated in his autobiography, he was already becoming enamored of musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Sly Stone and Muddy Waters (elements of soul jazz had already crept into the quintet's repertoire with "Eighty-One" from E.S.P.). On MILES FROM THE SKY, the trumpeter's "Stuff" juxtaposes a long elliptical blues line over a harmonically varied Ron Carter bass vamp, as Herbie Hancock pumps out billowy turqoise clouds of Fender/Rhodes chords and Tony Williams alternatingly locks in and deconstructs the eighth note pulse. On Shorter's "Paraphernalia" the horns play harmonic cat and mouse with a swinging vamp, resolving tension in cyclical chord progression, as George Benson's electric guitar offers a teasing suggestion of things to come. Tony Williams' "Black Comedy" and Davis' "Country Son" offer a series of radical tempo and textural changes: The former does so in a, more or less, straight ahead groove, while the latter intersperses swing beats with abstract gospel and ballad moods, culminating in an epic Shorter solo, and a Davis solo which hints at the newer style of phrasing he'd reveal on IN A SILENT WAY.
Album Reviews
Down Beat (10/3/68) - 4 1/2 Stars - Very Good Plus - "...[MILES IN THE SKY], one of the best [recordings] that Miles has made with his present group, shows the effect of the Coleman-Coltrane revolution even as Miles denies it, for their assault on the popular song has pushed Miles along the only path that seems open to him, an increasingly ironic detachment from sentiment and prettiness...."
