I expected a slam-bam super <em>great<\/em> CD, so I was a little disappointed, but if you go into it neutral, you&#8217;ll come out pleased.  In an effort to emulate the great Mr. Davis, <strong>George Coleman<\/strong> relegates some of his natural performing strengths to the background becoming a <em>shadow <\/em>of Miles, rather than an interpreter. Likewise the fiery, agressive style of guitarist <strong>Mike Stern<\/strong> is toned down to better integrate into the overall theme.  <\/p>\n<p>Bassist <strong>Ron Carter<\/strong> holds the bottom together well throught the CD, as does drummer <strong>Jimmy Cobb<\/strong>, although Cobb seems to disappear sometime. The CD is meant to be a tribute album, and in that respect it succeeds, delivering an assortment of Davis&#8217; tunes and tying them together. All the performers played with Miles at one time or another,  Jimmy Cobb on <em>Kind of Blue<\/em>,  Carter as part of the 60s quintet, Coleman on <em>Four and more-live at lincoln center<\/em> and Mike Stern as a member of Miles fusion bands in the later years. I&#8217;d have preferred that this quartet of jazz greats had taken ownership of the tracks and pumped out the jammin CD it could have been, but it&#8217;s good listening music for a while.    <\/font>              <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 Generations of Miles Coleman\/Stern\/Cobb\/Carter(Chesky &#8211; 2002) by Ricky Miller<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
