Miles Davis - Big Fun - VINYL LP
About this product
Limited double 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Originally released in 1974, Big Fun presents music from three different phases of Miles Davis' early-seventies 'electric' period. Sides one and four ('Great Expectations' and 'Lonely Fire') were recorded three months after the Bi**hes Brew sessions and incorporate sitar, tambura, tabla and other Indian instruments. They also mark the first time since the beginning of Miles Davis' electric period that he played his trumpet with the Harmon mute which had been one of his hallmarks, making it sound much like the sitar. This contributed to creating a very clear and lean sound, highlighting both the high and low registers, as opposed to the busier sound of Bi**hes Brew which placed more emphasis on the middle and low registers. 'Ife' was recorded after the 1972 On the Corner sessions, and the framework is similar to tracks from that record. It has a drum and electric bass groove and a plethora of musicians improvising individually and in combinations over variations on the hypnotic bassline. Recorded in March 1970, 'Go Ahead John' is an outtake from Davis' Jack Johnson sessions. The recording is a riff and groove-based, with a relatively sparser line-up of Steve Grossman on soprano saxophone, Dave Holland on bass, Jack DeJohnette on drums and John McLaughlin on guitar with wah-wah pedal.

Limited edition of 2000 numbered copies on smokey coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Decoy is a 1984 album by the famous jazz musician Miles Davis, re- corded in 1983. Robert Irving III on keyboards took over the role that Miles had assumed with a true sense of harmony and only a rudi- mentary mastery of synthetic sounds and movements. Irving shared the responsibilities of directing with the trumpet player's nephew Vince Wilburn, Jr., but Al Foster continued to lead the tempo. John Scofield drew the funk of bassist Darryl Jones in the direction of chromatic abstraction. The two tracks that he cowrote with Miles are fragments of solos, InchThat's What HappenedInch reprising the beginning of his solo on InchSpeakInch (Star People). Decoy offered a good balance between the dominant funk that sub- sequently took over and the jazz tradition, reflected by Scofield's angularities, Marsalis' freedom of tone, and the breadth of Miles' playing that had recovered it's full power.
For more than half a century, James Brown shaped the sound of modern music. Widely celebrated as the architect of funk and a driving force behind the evolution of soul, R&B, and certainly hip-hop, Brown's influence can be heard across generations of artists. Now, his most iconic hits, electrifying deep cuts, and standout collaborations are brought together on this Collected double album. This 29-track anthology traces Brown's extraordinary journey, from his early breakthrough with the Famous Flames, where his raw gospel-trained vocals first caught fire, to the explosive grooves of the J.B.'s and the unstoppable momentum of his solo career. It captures the full spectrum of his artistry the tight, horn-driven punch of InchPapa's Got a Brand New BagInch, the energy of InchI Got You (I Feel Good)Inch, the emotional depth of InchIt's A Man's Man's Man's WorldInch, and the revolutionary funk innovations behind InchGet Up (I Feel Like Being a) S*x MachineInch, InchThe PaybackInch, InchGravityInch and InchLiving In America.Inch James Brown wasn't just a performer, he was a cultural force. His relentless work ethic, magnetic stage presence, and visionary approach to rhythm earned him a place in the first class of the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame, as well as induction into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Over the years, he collected titles that reflected his impact InchThe Godfather of SoulInch, InchMr. DynamiteInch and InchSoul Brother No. 1.Inch Music On Vinyl proudly presents a special coloured edition of the James Brown Collected album which is available for the first time on coloured vinyl.
