Title: The Gods at play (again!)
Review: Miles and Co. take you by the scruff and say "We're going for a ride!". And what a ride. Sure, there are repeats and thematic echoes along the road but the ride is never, never dull and there's something to enjoy all along the way to the end of the journey. This is music that is bold, adventurous, dexterous, sassy, sharp and sometimes so downright brilliant that you just have to laugh. It jumps, pokes, scrapes, swings, sways and blows. I have always loved the original album and now with this complete set my appreciation and enjoyment has increased immeasurably. Don't worry about the nay-sayers who decry the multiple versions of numbers in a row. Regard those versions, as someone else here has aptly described them, as one long tune with repeated motifs and variations on a theme. Like 'The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions' this is The Gods At Play.
