  miles davis: nefertiti   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
if i had to pick a favorite album out of this group, nefertiti would be it, although they're all phenominal.
both albums are remarkable in the fact that everything sounds and feels completely spontaneous and directed at the same time, like all 5 musicians are connected by a greater force.
i suppose this is just another one of those albums where i can't really convey why i love it.

This album shows why Miles was one of the greatest trumpet players and also a supreme master of time and space.
An unlikely influence, this album was a classic in 1967 and still is one in 2003.
With "Nefertiti" Miles Davis completes the rethinking and reworking of the small jazz ensemble he began with "Miles Smiles." The results are nothing short of stunning.

Nefertiti, whose name means “the beautiful woman has come,” was the wife of Akhenaton — the XVIII dynasty king who rejected the traditional priesthood of Amoun and worshipped Aton.
He said x-rays of the mummy have shown it to belong to a 16-year-old, whereas Nefertiti is thought to have died in her 30s.
It is hard to prove this is Nefertiti,” said Lisa Sabbahy, a professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo.

 Micah Newman : My favorite albums ever
It is sequenced in a similar pattern to its predecessors, 1994's bloweyelashwish and 1996's Xuvetyn; the first half of the album consisting of full-length songs interspersed with 30–60-second experimental interludes that serve a kind of palate-clearing purpose, the rest consisting of the remaining full-length songs in amongst sort of "tone poems" of intermediate length.
By the time of this, their third album, the Detroit "space-rock" trio Paik is so well in-command of their craft that everything they unleash to the world is almost frightening in its awesome power and majesty.
By the time of their second album, 2001's Corridors, Paik discovered their ability to blend kick-ass drumbeats, leisurely but authoritative pacing, maximum power from one guitar, and driving basslines in sympathy with the other two instruments, to absolutely stunning effect.

Laudamus have made a rather enjoyable album filled to the brim with classy melodic heavy rock that any fan of the genre will want to own, check it out, you won't be disappointed.
The album was a massive piece of molten melodic rock dripping in pompy keyboards and swirling guitars and towering vocals from Tommy Heart soundalike Matthias Schenk.
The time out of the spotlight was put to good use by writing and recording this follow up which equals the debut and right from the very first spin you are hooked with the power of the songs which are huge slices of melodic rock just like the debut.

 The Music Box: Miles Davis - Filles de Kilimanjaro (Album Review)
After the release of Nefertiti, Miles Davis began to push his quintet towards a new and different sound.
Perhaps this was the reason Davis chose French titles for the album as well as its five tracks; after all, the language was about as foreign to most American jazz enthusiasts as the music that lay within the collection’s expansive suite of songs.
Davis, of course, would go on to record finer jazz-fusion albums, but sometimes, as in the case of Filles de Kilimanjaro, the process is as much fun to observe as the final outcome.

 Miles Davis : Nefertiti - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Nefertiti, the fourth album by Miles Davis' second classic quintet, continues the forward motion of Sorcerer, as the group settles into a low-key, exploratory groove, offering music with recognizable themes -- but themes that were deliberately dissonant, slightly unsettling even as they burrowed their way into the consciousness.
In a sense, this is mood music, since, like on much of Sorcerer, the individual parts mesh in unpredictable ways, creating evocative, floating soundscapes.
Perhaps Nefertiti's charms are a little more subtle than those of its predecessors, but that makes it intriguing.

Released in 1957, the record is frequently cited as one of the most important in the history of jazz.
He was one of the first musicians to record unaccompanied horn solos, and largely introduced the bass clarinet as a solo instrument.
On this 1964 album, Dolphy displays his talents on flute, alto saxophone, and bass clarinet.

 CD Baby: JP JONES: Salvation Street - from jkloss
When all is said and done, there are maybe a score of singer-songwriters today who combine deep insight into the human psyche with a broad grasp of history, religion, literature, American mythology and landscape - plus a real genius for writing both words and melodies.
With this album, the best-executed in a string of fine recent work, JP Jones ought to be counted amoung them.
I felt tranportated to a dark smoky cafe, a pair of floodlights on a small stage, and an intimate group of performers began to weave stories of ne'er-do'wells, seekers, people who blur the spiritual and the third-dimensional.

 Miles in the Sky (Reis) from The Wine Glass Shop
For most listeners, it was the first taste of the trumpeter's experiments in fusing jazz with popular music: one of the tunes features George Benson's electric guitar, another has Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter on electric piano and electric bass, and two of the tunes use funky boogaloo rhythms.
This album was a particularly interesting one for Miles, Wayne, Herbie, Ron and Tony.
This album is a lot like another Miles album (one of the previous efforts of Miles and the Quintet) called Sorcerer.

Nefertiti used to be one of the most beautiful ladies of that time, even though some people though Cleopatra was more beautiful then Nefertiti, they were just wrong.
Their necks are both long...which was one of Nefertiti's defining and most noted physical characteristics and also...whenever I think of Sade I just see someone who is beautiful and regal looking like Queen Nefertiti must have been I suppose.
Not to meantion the scientist took the body of Nefertiti and based from the skeletal structures of her face, it is evident that she was of African descent, actually you could find many fl women who looked like that in any city of the USA.

 Miles Davis
The album consists of ten short tracks linked by segues or transitions; it's hard for me to evaluate the originality of what Davis and Evans are doing here, because I'm not familiar enough with Duke Ellington's work (Dave Brubeck's salute to him, "The Duke" is included here).
This was a transitional album: Ron Carter is on bass, and Hancock and Williams also appear on half the tracks.
This was a big seller and is supposed to be the seminal classic of jazz-fusion, but to me it's a bunch of tuneless jams that don't have the invention of jazz or the grit of soul or the propulsive kick of rock and roll: just lots of proto-New Age nothingness and electric pianos holding chords.

NEFERTITI represents the final "straight-ahead" offering by Miles Davis' legendary '60s quintet, the culmination of a creative arc which began with E.S.P..
NEFERTITI was the fruition of all Davis' experiments in free form, bebop, cool and modal jazz.
Davis's signature as an improviser and musical editor is writ large on each composition, particularly in the provocative use of space.

Miles Davis Quintet's fourth album, Nefertiti is the fourth straight classic recorded by this legendary group.
The remaining three songs, "Madness" and "Riot" written by the mercurial pianist Herbie Hancock while the last track was written by the great drummer Tony Williams.
Each song on Nefertiti has become longtime jazz standards and although there are slight hints of "rock/funk" patterns here, this album would signify the last straight hard bop influenced album Miles and this line-up would do.

However, a careful re-examination thirty years later reveals an album that was radically ahead of it's time, though not perhaps even a jazz album anymore.
On the Corner was one of the last albums Miles did with his rotating, multi-layered electric bands of the early 70s.
The albums after this would delve into avant-rock-funk of the Agharta period, before Davis took his complete hiatus and suffered his mid 70-s breakdown.

 Jazz Bulletin Board - Essential Miles Davis
June 8th, 2004 04:11 PM It's funny, but I don't think of Miles's particular albums to be essential as oppposed to the groups and the periods themselves.
For me Kind of Blue is a real album album, a simple but unified concept, and somehow much greater than the sum of its constituent parts.
Some of his trumpet solos on that album are unbelievable--one plays like a history of the trumpet and shows an incredible command of the entire instrument.

It was the second album (the first was ESP) by his second great quintet, which aside from the man himself on trumpet had the line-up of Wayne Shorter on tenor sax, Ron Carter on bass, Tony Williams on drums and a young musician by the name of Herbie Hancock on piano.
This quintet released four stunning studio albums on Columbia in the late 1960s (the other two are Sorcerer and Nefertiti), which are all worth getting.
It is one of his last before "going electric" and incorporating rock, which challenges the listener without totally forgetting structure unlike some of the avant-garde of the time.

I think the ultimate sound of this album is best summed up by a quote from the film, at the very end of the album...
In all, this is a worthwhile album to get for the first song, the first 10 minutes of which is probably one of the greatest rock jams ever.
I'm not saying this is a bad album, or that its not worth getting, it is. But it incorporates some previously recorded material and some of the playing on Yesternow gets a bit tedious.

Let's not forget that, electric instruments aside, the first two Weather Report albums were highly adventurous combinations of staggering form and free exploration - the second an aspect that was to be steadily eroded from the band by Zawinul's interest in groove and, ultimately, even more structured form.
Then one day I played the album again and it was like it was a totally different album (or I was a totally different person).
So give the album a listen to again sometime later when you have not been thinking about it.

 Miles Davis : Miles in the Sky - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
With the 1968 album Miles in the Sky, Miles Davis explicitly pushed his second great quintet away from conventional jazz, pushing them toward the jazz-rock hybrid that would later become known as fusion.
This meanders considerable more than Nefertiti, even if it is significantly less elliptical in its form, because it's primarily four long jams.
Intriguing, successful jams in many respects, but even with the notable additions of electric instruments, and with the deliberately noisy "Country Son," this is less visionary than its predecessor and feels like a transitional album -- and, like many transitional albums, it's intriguing and frustrating in equal measures.
