Among the giants enthroned in jazz's pantheon, no one made as
big, as broad, as bad-boy brazen of an impact on popular music
in many manifestations jazz, rock and improvisation - as Miles
Davis. At the same time, he pioneered new routes for rock. The
innovations Davis made in both jazz and rock spawned immediate
followers in his time, and continue to infuse and energize the
music of today. But even during the revival that began in the
1990s, "... only one band has had the courage to throw itself
full bore into the thorniest Davis era, the mid-'70s years when
he created a dark, dangerous, haunting, ecstatically wondrous
body of music that no one has ever attempted to duplicate."(San
Francisco Chronicle). That band is Yo Miles! Yo Miles! was
formed in 1998 to explore, expound and expand on Davis' mid-70s
electric music. For Sky Garden, Yo Miles!'s 2nd recording and
1st release on Cuneiform, Kaiser and Smith have assembled an
all-star cast culled from both the jazz and rock communities.
The lineup here includes Smith on trumpet; Kaiser, Mike
Keneally and Chris Muir on electric guitars; Michael Manring on
bass; Steve Smith on drums; Karl Perazzo on percussion; Greg
Osby (alto) and John Tchicai (tenor and soprano) on saxophones;
and Tom Coster on keyboards. It also features special guests
Zakir Hussain on tabla, Dave Creamer on guitar, and the ROVA
Sax Quartet. This set is about equally split between Miles'
compositions and original compositions in the electric Miles
style. The groupÆs studio performance at The Site was recorded
live, directly to a stereo DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
recorder.
