The real reason to own the "Legacy Edition," to me, is the second disc which is full of rare and overlooked cuts.
Really, I don't listen much past the original five tracks, but when I am, I am fascinated by the studio chatter and noodling of these legendary musicians.

On the Legacy Edition, however, the album continues with a series of alternate takes, studio sequences and false starts that, while they are a neat novelty for the avid fan (which I certainly am), could be off-putting to the average listener. In addition to a great lineup, the album features an amazing sense of style and structure the beautifully climactic ballad "Blue In Green" is sandwiched in between two blues songs, "Freddie Freeloader" and "All Blues," which in turn are bookended by two modal tunes, "So What" and "Flamenco Sketches," that begin and end the original album respectively. The horn section is padded out by John Coltrane on tenor and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on alto and the rhythm section features Jimmy Cobb on drums and Paul Chambers on bass as well as both Bill Evans and Wynton Kelley on piano.
On Kind of Blue, Davis plays with one the best lineups in the history of jazz.
This was one of the first jazz albums I ever owned (I received it for Christmas in 2009, along with John Coltrane's A Love Supreme and Freddie Hubbard's Hubtones) and Miles Davis is certainly one of my earliest influences on my playing. I've had Piñata, the Madlib and Freddie Gibbs collaborative effort, on heavy rotation ( check out our review), but otherwise I've been revisiting some of my favorite jazz albums of all time, most notably the classic Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. Below are the staff's weekly picks and, as always, I (Adlai) will add more as they come in.Īdlai: This past week has been insanely hectic, but I still got some time to enjoy some great music. We get to showcase albums that may not otherwise get attention on our blog. He sings each track like he has nothing to prove there are little to no embellishments, save a warbling vibrato present in a few tracks.Īs far as a lasting impression goes, I'll have to give a few more listens to Mo Kolours to get an idea of how long it will last me, but the LP has made a very good first impression.Įvery week, the Dynamicism staff takes a look back and talks about the albums that they have been listening to. As the album progressed, I was also struck by how straightforward and unpretentious Mo's voice is. I am unclear as to whether these were samples of his own sounds, or a traditional record chop, but either way Mo assembles his sounds in a beautifully messy way, constructing a cacophony that weaves in and out of mass discord, continuously assembling and dissembling itself. On the next track, "Little Brown Dog" Mo shows off his singing chops, as well as an unusual but entrancing steel drum sample. When I clicked play on "Brixton House," the first track of his first full LP, the self titled Mo Kolours, I was greeted by a drum beat that instantly reminded me of some of Ann Arbor based Shigeto's more minimalistic work, supplemented by an insanely smooth chord progression that captivated me for all of two and a half minutes of the track. When I stumbled across the Producer/Singer/Percussionist earlier today, I really had no clue what to expect. If you're not up on your UK-based, underground, alternative-soul (and that's most of us here in the US), then it's very likely that you've never heard of Mo Kolours. age, yo! Keep an eye out for our coverage of these upcoming De La Soul projects as they release. While a few fans were disappointed with this concept, I personally think it's awesome (and nowhere near as bad as that Q-tip/Busta Rhymes The Abstract and the Dragon debacle last year). (which stands for "Da Inner Soul of Yancey," referring to J Dilla's real name, James Dewitt Yancey), features reworked classic De La lyrical content over some unreleased Jay Dee instrumentals.

Besides releasing their entire discography for free on valentines day, De La announced that it they would be releasing a full length LP this year as well as an EP (produced entirely by Pete Rock and DJ Premier) and their recent Dilla-produced mixtape "Smell the Da.I.S.Y." which you can download here, or from BitTorrent (which gets you a whole bundle of De La/Dilla goodness along with the mixtape). In case you missed it, De La Soul has a kick ass year in store for us.
