| On Yo Miles!, guitarist Henry Kaiser and trumpeter Leo Smith revisit the glory days of Miles Davis's mid-'70s electric jazz-fusion experiments. Accompanied by the likes of the Rova Saxophone Quartet, keyboardist John Medeski, and guitarist Elliot Sharp, Kaiser and Smith faithfully revive extended Davis compositions like "Black Satin" and "Theme from Jack Johnson". With a background of pulsing electric bass, percussion, a bustling reed section, and floating organ fills, Leo Smith does an admirable job emulating Miles Davis's distinctive trumpet sound. Kaiser's guitar consistently pushes the ensemble into a realm of heady improvisation, blending hard rock and deep funk influences into ambitious jazz structures. This lengthy double-disc is a fine introduction into the mystical methodology of Miles Davis and his most misunderstood musical era. |
