Title: A mess - music by committee
Review: This piece of garbage was pieced together by Miles Davis and Teo Macero from a selection of various studio improvisations and it sounds like it - the musical equivalent of Frankenstein's monster in its ugliness and lack of charm.This thankfully was the last time Davis + record company used the cut and paste method, done I suspect for the purely commercial reason of making a product that fitted a single piece of vinyl.A much better experience can be had from some of the original, relatively unedited pieces onThe Complete On the Corner Sessionsbox set where things are more musically coherent.For me it is worth the money for Disc 4 alone, especially the profound and utterly enchanting 32 minute Calypso Frelimo.
