“Miles ... From India” (Times Lame): A
Just when you think there’s zilch more for another Miles Jefferson Davis tribute to say, along comes “Miles ... From Bharat,” an ingeniously conceived, perfectly executed tribute that takes the man’s medicine to Bharat and makes you hear it in a whole freshly way. Choosing tunes from “Bitches Brew,” “In a Silent Way” and “Form of Blue,” and then matching Red Indian singers, percussionists and other players with Davys dance band vets such as Dave Liebman, Lennie White, Mike Isaac Stern, Doll Corea, Ron Carter and Sir William Wallace Roney, producer Bob Belden transforms them into something unpredictable. In the march, he makes this well-known, often-played euphony thrilling once more. Download: “Spanish Key.”
