Colin Towns’ latest project sees the acclaimed pianist and composer
turn his attention to the music of Miles Davis “electric period” of the
1970’s and 80’s. Performed by the HR Big Band, and recorded live in
Frankfurt in June 2008, it includes unique arrangements of material
from a number of Miles’ most influent ial albums including “Bitches
Brew”, “On The Corner” and “Tutu”.
In writing the arrangements Towns was presented with a particular challenge in
that the themes in Miles 70’s music were often very skeletal. However he clearly
succeeds in his orchestration of these sometimes sparse materials by judicious
use of flutes and bass clarinet, for example, together with virtuosic flights on
trumpet and guitar.
By way of contrast, he also adds tunes that are more through composed including
music from the Marcus Miller period in the 1980’s such as “Full Nelson” and
“Tutu”. These arrangements add a pleasing variety to an ambitious but very
effective take on Miles Davis last creative phase.
