Review

Down Beat (p.81) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[R]epresenting a wide span of styles and phases while emphasizing the fusion experiments of latter decades."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.113) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Not exactly Indo-jazz fusion, but electric Miles with some exotic new textures that'll sit happily next to anyone's well-worn copy of BITCHES BREW."

Title Note

Recording information: Midtown Sound, NYC, NY (2006).

Arranger: Bob Belden.

This double-disc set features jazz veterans such as Gary Bartz, John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, and others collaborating with Indian musicians like percussionist Badal Roy and pianist Louiz Banks on a set of Miles Davis compositions. Though the set features interpretations of numbers from all stages of Davis' career, the most successful of these are drawn from his boundary pushing late `60s and early `70s work.

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Album Description

In a startlingly original recreation of music associated with jazz legend Miles Davis, producer-archivist Bob Belden, renowned for his Grammy Award-winning reissue work on a series of Miles Davis boxed sets for Sony/Columbia, along with co-arranger Louiz Banks (celebrated keyboardist from India), has recast familiar themes from such landmark recordings as Bitches Brew, In A Silent Way, and Kind of Blue with an East Meets West sensibility on Miles…From India.

An incredibly ambitious project involving two dozen musicians from two separate continents recording in studios around the world, Miles…From India is a cross-cultural summit meeting that puts a provocative pan-global spin on such Miles classics as “All Blues,” “Spanish Key,” “So What,” “It’s About That Time” and “Jean Pierre.” Sitar and tablas, ghatam and khanjira, mridangam and Carnatic violin blend seamlessly with muted trumpet and saxophones, screaming electric guitar and grooving electric bass lines, piano, upright bass and drums on this profound fusion of Indian classical and American jazz. Recorded in Mumbai and Madras, India and New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, the music on Miles…From India was performed by classical and jazz musicians from India with the addition of musicians who have recorded or performed with Miles Davis over the span of five decades.
