24-Bit Remastered CD of the 1972 classic LP
ON THE CORNER enjoys a special cult status among musicians,
anticipating as it does the punk funk/acid jazz movements. For Miles
Davis, ON THE CORNER was another seismic shift. Miles was
particularly fond of the lyric sweep of Hendrixian electric guitar,
the James Brown-like rhythmic thump of Fender bass, and the bell-like
timbre and chordal possibilities of the Fender/Rhodes electric piano.
Now the trumpeter sought to incorporate the feel of street rhythms
from around the world and to reflect the influence of modern
electronic composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen.
So while ON THE CORNER is generously populated with top-flight jazz
players, Davis was zeroing in on a contemporary approach not beholden
to jazz players of jazz rhythmic postures--although group
improvisation is still very much the order of the day. In paving the
way for his Afro-psychedelic working bands of the mid-70's, Davis was
roundly dissed, but ON THE CORNER endures brilliantly--the dark lady
of Miles' musical sonnets.
The album is a furious carnival of rhythm. The first section is
dominated by an Afro-Cuban groove, the eerie distortion of Miles'
wah-wah trumpet, John McLaughlin's nasty electric leads and a swelter
of rhythms--every instrument seemingly transformed into a drum. The
second section beginning with "Black Satin" is driven along by a
commanding Michael Henderson bass line, a celestial drone of Indian
bells, sitars, tablas, congas and handclaps, some skanky Herbie
Hancock keyboards, and a skittering Davis solo.
Reviews
From a production standpoint this is probably a pinnacle record. Akin
probably to Sargeant Peppers or the Studio One output in importance
for showing possibilities of the studio and mixing board as
instrument and vehicle for creation and production.
Alternative Press (11/00, pp.104-6) - 4 out of 5 - "...Essential....a
masterpiece and a visionary forecasting of modern
music....representing the high water mark of his experiments in the
fusion of rock, funk, electronica and jazz..."
JazzTimes (11/00, p.70) - "...A sound that provides an eerie parallel
to some of Funkadelic's more atmospheric stuff..."
Musician (12/93, p.95) - "...With its hypnotic post-soul grooves and
its sound collage aesthetic, ON THE CORNER can now be appreciated as
a seedbed of hip-hop, M-Base and other post-modern byways..."
*** P.S. A Special Happy 31st Birthday wish to Canada Girl! ***
