The night of May 12, 2002, may go down as another important milestone on the timeline of legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. Four musicians, each representing a different Miles Davis band from his ever-evolving career, came together at the club Makor in New York City to do what everybody said couldn’t be done—effectively fuse together elements of the radically different styles that Miles embodied over his 45 years of professional performance.Of the four musicians presented here, saxophonist George Coleman is the least represented on record with the great Miles Davis. But he’s swinging here like he wants to play catch-up on this straight-ahead set recorded in a studio with an audience. The concept is as sound as the music, but don’t expect any fusion-like explosions from guitarist Mike Stern, who joined Miles in the early ’80s. The guitarist doesn’t sacrifice the essence of his “dirty” sound; it’s just that he’s much more in the tradition than he ever was during his tenure with Miles. Stern and bassist Ron Carter do reach back into Miles’s In a Silent Way prefusion era on a haunting version of “Blue in Green,” circling and darting around the slow meter while Coleman rains down a Coltrane-like sheet of sound. Jimmy Cobb, one of the trumpeter’s more subtle drummers, continuously makes sure his voice is heard throughout this nine-song set without ever getting in the way, just as he did with Miles in the late ’50s and early ’60s. This is really Coleman’s record though, with Stern delivering some excellent solos, particularly on Carter’s “81.” This obviously heartfelt tribute finds the quartet completely on their game, and with Coleman’s tasteful, underrated saxophone style leading the way.” (Mark Ruffin)

“The night of May 12, 2002 may have just become another important milestone on the timeline of legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. Four musicians, each representing a different Miles Davis band from his ever-evolving career, came together at the club Makor in New York City to do what everybody said couldn’t be done: to effectively fuse together elements of the radically different styles that Miles Davis embodied over his 45 years of professional performance. But after witnessing the masterful skills of drummer Jimmy Cobb, tenor saxophonist George Coleman, bassist Ron Carter and guitarist Mike Stern, it is clear they almost immediately established the kind of chemistry that pays tribute to every facet of Miles Davis’ lifetime of work. Four contrasting approaches to the jazz combo; four different perspectives on the improviser’s art; one live set in New York City- and Chesky captured it all and is proud to offer this recording in Multi-Channel SACD format. “In terms of star power, this record’s got no shortage. The group is airtight, and each player plays articulately and lyrically.” (Stereophile)

“An excellent tribute…head and shoulders above most such efforts.” (AllAboutJazz)

“It’s hard not to be moved, exhilarated, pleased…there’s depth to the soundstage, and air around the musicians.” – Stereophilethe way for the rhythms and sounds of yet another generation of jazzmen.” (AMG)
