Paul Horn: Parque do Flamengo

It was incredibly glowing. I at the time thought there could be some hype attached to it,being that Jason Miles worked with Miles Davis on TuTu and a couple of othe Miles Davis CDs.
Well I was wrong about the hype.This CD doesn't need any hype.
It is pure genius. The meshing of musicians and artists and the material are just incredible. The CD starts out with Ferrari,a Musical story of Miles Davis's affection for fast cars. Michael Brecker plays soprano sax and it makes me want to hear more of him on soprano.
It just feels incredibly modern,with DJ flavor from DJ Logic and a rockin groove. The CD then moves to many different moods like Butter Pecan (A Funky James Brown Groove with Gerald Albright and Adam Holtzman trading funky licks-PS Gerald should give us more of this on his own CDs)Guerilla Jazz is mysterious and hypnotic featuring the late Bob Berg on tenor sax trading riffs with trumpeter Tom Harrell.
Some other highlights are Randy Brecker and Dave Matthews band drummer Carter Beauford on King of the Bling. Flamenco Sketches is the lone cover song(it was on Kind of Blue) and it is mezmerizing and beautiful featuring Barry Danielian on Trumpet backed up by Keiko Matsui and Mark Antoine both playing way above the Smooth jazz radar.
The Street Vibe Suite is just mindblowing. Voices from all over the world meshed into a deep groove featuring the ever funky Bernie Worrell weaving a multi layered keyboard mix.Street Vibe then gets really intense with Tom harrell and Aaron Heicke on Alto sax(who is this guy he plays incredible.
Great lines)..
The other artists on the CD are a who's who of modern jazz.Nicholas Payton,David Sanchez,Karsh Kale, Karl Denson,,James Genus, Cyro Baptista,Romero Lubambo and others,all give virtuoso performances.
It's amazing but you can almost invision Miles Davis working with some of these artists if he was alive an making music today.
On Miles to Miles we are seeing (and of course hearing) an artist who is at the height of his creative powers. Jason Miles has made a CD that won't be coming out of my CD player anytime soon.
I'm discovering new things about the music with every listen.I can't reccomend this CD enough. I believe once you listen to it you will feel the same way,I do and know that there is a future to contemporary jazz.--Doug-- (Philadelphia,Pa)
