Fusion for Miles - V.A. [2005]

Fusion for Miles como o nome deixa bem explícito é um tributo a Miles Davis tendo como banda de apoio Alphonso Johnson no baixo, Vinnie Colaiuta na bateria, Deve Liebman no sax e Larry Goldings nos teclados. Mas não é só isso! Para cada faixa específica o grupo é completado por um renomado guitarrista, na verdade trata-se de um tributo de guitarristas à música de Miles Davis. Assim sendo, numa banda desse calibre não poderíamos ter ninguém menos que feras como: Mike Stern, Warren Haynes, Bill Frisell, Bireli Lagrene, Pat Martino, Jeff Richman, Steve Kimmock, Eric Johnson, Bill Connors e o já citado Jimmy Herring. Cada um deles fazendo a sua interpretação de clássicos deste que foi o maior jazzista do seu tempo, um homem que revolucionou a música mais de uma vez, e que é considerado o pai do fusion.

Fusion for Miles - V.A.

Fusion for Miles features some of the greatest names in progressive jazz/ fusion guitar, each paying tribute to master musician and jazz legend Miles Davis, a pioneer of modern jazz and fusion. A gifted composer and powerful band leader, Miles left this world with a legacy of phenomenal compositions, a universal reputation for introducing the world to many important jazz artists who first apprenticed under him, and a vast number of people who were touched by and learned from his stylized harmonic genius. Those musicians, whose music he influenced, were not just trumpet players but nearly all students of jazz and among them are the incredible guitarists who have come together to lift up their guitars as their voices in this unique tribute. FEATURING GUEST GUITARISTS: Eric Johnson, Bill Frisell, Pat Martino, Warren Haynes, Jimmy Herring, Mike Stern, Bill Connors, Steve Kimmock, Bireli Lagrene and Jeff Richman.
