Miles Davis "Summertime" (1958)

"Summertime" is a track from the album "Porgy and Bess" by jazz trumpet musician Miles Davis, released in 1958 on Columbia Records. The album features arrangements by Davis and collaborator Gil Evans from George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess. The album was recorded in four sessions on July 22, July 29, August 4 and August 18 in 1958 at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in New York City. It is the second collaboration between Davis and Evans and has garnered much critical acclaim since its release, being acknowledged by music critics as the best of their collaborations. For many jazz critics, Porgy and Bess is regarded as historic.

In 1958, Davis was one of many jazz musicians growing dissatisfied with bebop, seeing its increasingly complex chord changes as hindering creativity. Five years earlier, in 1953, pianist George Russell published his Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization, which offered an alternative to the practice of improvisation based on chords. Abandoning the traditional major and minor key relationships of Western music, Russell developed a new formulation using scales or a series of scales for improvisations. Russell's approach to improvisation came to be known as modal in jazz. Davis saw Russell's methods of composition as a means of getting away from the dense chord-laden compositions of his time, which Davis had labeled "thick". Modal composition, with its reliance on scales and modes, represented, as Davis put it, "A return to melody". In a 1958 interview with Nat Hentoff of The Jazz Review, Davis remarked on the modal approach:

When Gil wrote the arrangement of "I Loves You, Porgy," he only wrote a scale for me. No chords... gives you a lot more freedom and space to hear things... there will be fewer chords but infinite possibilities as to what to do with them. Classical composers have been writing this way for years, but jazz musicians seldom have.

—Miles Davis

In early 1958, Miles Davis began using with this approach and his sextet. Influenced by Russell's ideas, Davis implemented his first modal composition with the title track of his 1958 album Milestones, which was based on two modes, recorded in April of that year. Instead of soloing in the straight, conventional, melodic way, Daviss new style of improvisation featured rapid mode and scale changes played against sparse chord changes. Davis' second collaboration with Gil Evans on Porgy and Bess gave him more room for experimentation with Russell's concept and with third stream playing, as Evans' compositions for Davis featured this modal approach.

dantean 4 か月前

Okay, the very idea of B.B. King performing a Bob Dylan tune is mind-blowing enough, but jamming it with Jimi!?!? OH, MY FUCKING GOD!!! I'm not sure how better to describe this than to say it's like the Father joining in with the Son on a number written by the Holy Ghost--AND I'M AGNOSTIC!!!!

(btw, thanks for posting!)

 About a commemoration concert "cardiac ?1st Hiroshima electronic music study group which enjoys a dedication for  experiment to Gyokuju Funada" 

After agonized-shrieking-of-the-damned  (smile)  unfolded over  in the Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of Art underground auditorium on Sat., February 9 - Sun., 10th two days.               Maniac event "first Hiroshima electronic music study group." 

Entrance is receipts-and-payments freedom any number of times in presentation of the ticket of a Gyokuju Funada exhibition. 

Although it opens to the public, lecturing on an arrangement and a rehearsal, there are a workshop of a participatory type, etc. and it strives to be also able to enjoy a direction without familiarity, since the contents are experimental infinite and it is excessive, a guarantee cannot be offered. 

I think that the event developed focusing on such core electronic music like this in Hiroshima is the first. 

From laptop PC, the synthesizer system of the museum class and handmade soothe, and it is, and exhibits and uses apparatus etc. this way and that. 

In LIVE ACT, living in Hiroshima meets the famous place from Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. 

It is variegated from contemporary music to an image and DJ system. 

I appear as a unit "Ipso Facto" with the Kyoto vigor in theremin, a noise, etc. on the 9th. 

Hereinafter, it is a rough performance schedule. 

I refuse not to carry to this passage first. 

Moreover, please do not approach equipment too much embedding a pacemaker. 

Although it goes on in society form, since it is a loose meeting, please participate in comfort. 

New beauty may be able to be discovered.
