Deciphering The Message

Mario — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 23:35:03 +0000

Jazz drummer and innovative producer Makaya McCraven brings the heart of the famous Blue Note catalog into the present. With such a sprawling collection of work to pull from, McCraven narrowed his focus to records from the 60's and earlier, which helps "Deciphering The Message" maintain the consistency of a single session despite pulling from more than a dozen different records. He’d pull loops and rearrange parts, then overdub bass, keyboards, and drums. It mirrors the workflow of a hip-hop producer, not unlike J Dilla and Madlib, who serve as his closest contemporary analogues.

Sketches Of Spain

"Sketches Of Spain" is an album by Miles Davis, recorded at the Columbia 30th Street Studio in New York City. An extended version of the second movement of Joaquín Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" is included, as well as a piece called "Will O' The Wisp" from Manuel de Falla's ballet "El Amor Brujo". "Sketches Of Spain" is regarded as an exemplary recording of Third Stream, a musical fusion of jazz, European classical, and styles from world music. Davis' wife Frances Davis insisted he accompany her to a performance by flamenco dancer Roberto Iglesias. Inspired by the performance, Davis bought every flamenco album he could get. The album pairs Davis with arranger and composer Gil Evans, with whom Miles Davis had collaborated on several other projects, on a program of compositions largely derived from the Spanish folk tradition. This is the 50th anniversary deluxe double CD set with extensive liner notes, as good as new!
