Joined by such jazz legends as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Jack DeJohnette, Billy Hart, and countless others, this 6-CD deluxe edition also contains a 120-page full-color booklet with liner notes and essays by Grammy-winning producer Bob Belden, journalist Tom Terrell, and acclaimed arranger and composer Paul Buckmaster.
With such a comprehensive collection of Miles Davis' songs, plus dozens of rare photographs and new illustrations, this very special deluxe box set is a must have for any fan of Davis' genius or jazz music in general.
quote:In the vein of The Complete In a Silent Way Sessions and The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions, Columbia/Legacy will release a six-disc box set version of Miles Davis' seminal On the Corner titled, yep, The Complete On the Corner Sessions.
Originally released in 1972 as the studio follow-up to A Tribute to Jack Johnson, On the Corner found Davis using synthesizers and distorted electric guitars in the creation of what was basically funk music, and it remains one of his more divisive records, even among fans of his often-noisier electric period. It also made it onto our "Top 100 Albums of the 1970s" list at #30.
The Complete On the Corner Sessions comes out September 18, and it features newly mixed and mastered versions of these tracks as well as plenty of liner notes-- everything from general memories of Davis to accounts of the album's recording.

Allebei. Zeker Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson en On The Corner waren natuurlijk als plaat een studiocreatie van Teo Macero, samengesteld uit een set organische sessies. Dat maakt die oorspronkelijke sessies een stuk interessanter dan vijfentwintig versies van hetzelfde nummer die na een halve minuut afgekapt worden omdat de drummer weer een foutje maakt. Er staat natuurlijk wel enige herhaling op, maar de musici die Miles in die periode om zich heen verzamelde zijn meer dan goed genoeg (en geïnspireerd genoeg) om het niet zozeer een versie van goed en slecht te maken, maar passend en minder passend bij de eindvisie voor het geheel.quote:Op dinsdag 9 oktober 2007 10:21 schreef cafca het volgende:
Voegen die boxsets nu werkelijk iets toe aan het originele album?
Of krijg je er een hoop sessies bij die in eerste instantie niet goed genoeg waren om uit te brengen?
Tja , ik ken ook nog niet alles , dus ik weet het ook niet precies.quote:Op dinsdag 9 oktober 2007 09:26 schreef Litpho het volgende:
Staat er ook het een en ander op richting de stijl van Agharta/Pangea?
quote:Perhaps this previously unreleased studio material was buried because Miles didn't feel it represented the band at its best. Certainly, none of it has the balls-out ferocity of Dark Magus or the disorienting, Afro-psychedelic power of Agharta and Pangaea (two concerts recorded in a single day). Some of it's almost . . . ordinary, in a Funkadelic-meets-Louis-Armstrong-at- Hendrix's-gravesite kind of way. Maybe Miles figured if he couldn't spin your head all the way around Linda Blair–style, better to just get back on the road, blow the walls down, and let archivists dig this stuff up when he was gone and past caring. That's what happened. And while I can understand that way of thinking, I'm damn glad this music's finally slinking and strutting out into the daylight.
