My dad was and is a die hard jazz fan. He played all of Miles albums day and night, including Doo Bop. Pocketed this CD when I left for college and loved it ever since. 😍😍
Mystery Alone

By Keaggy_Head
I agree with the other reviewer that Mystery alone is worth listening for. Some of Miles’s 80’s playing was disjointed a bit rambling with a few cracked notes, but this piece was incredible. Miles playing is almost sensual and very succinct. Every note feels right and uses the space well. As to other tracks Duke Booty, fantasy, Mystery Reprise. Even the rap tracks aren’t half bad. People complain because they say isn’t jazz, which it isn’t, but you have to remember the context. Miles changed his dress sin the 70’s and incorporated electronic instruments and rock to be culturally relevant when he saw the influence of Sly the family stone and Jimi Hendrix. So to incorporate rap was to follow where people where going culturally. Hopefully he wouldn’t have been sucked into the 90’s “f that hoe mother find… etc” although he was just as vulgar as the rappers.
Five stars for Mystery

One of my all time favorite down tempo tunes. Is this old school jazz - no, but it was way avantgarde in regards to chill down tempo with the upgrade of some of Miles trumpet insertions .

I bought this after first learning about Miles and his quintessential Kind of Blue album a looooong time ago. Surprise! This album has nothing to do with Kind of Blue, or any other classic Miles Davis album. It's a rap album with a few sporadic trumpet passages thrown in. Buy it if you're into rap or hip hop. But If you're looking for jazz, keep looking. Nothing to see here. Move along.
