Jazz Poem by Miles Davis on CD
Jazz Poem documents the Miles Davis sessions at Birdland, circa 1950-1952. The album comprises a virtual who's-who of bop music: Art Blakely, Tadd Dameron, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Kenny Drew, Stan Getz, J. J. Johnson, Jackie McLean, Charles Mingus, Billy Taylor, and Sonny Rollins included. Listeners will immediately note the bright, buoyant purity of this new jazz language, conceived in the 1940s and early '50s. Although Davis is the leader of these sessions, neither his playing nor his composing dominates; the balance of the set lists come directly from the standard repertoire, some of which was being built just then, and all the dazzling soloists have an opportunity to show their considerable chops. Miles Davis himself was a very different soloist during this period than most remember him. He clearly could play bop in the traditional sense, as he demonstrates the aggressive blowing, tremendous speed, and upper register tone that marked the style. Jazz Poem is not a perfect recording, yet fans of early bop as well as collectors of the Miles Davis catalog will be delighted to revisit this brilliant music. ~ Brian Bartolini, All Music Guide
