Album Description

The original Chico Hamilton Quintet was one of the last significant West Coast jazz bands of the cool era. Consisting of Buddy Collette on reeds (flute, clarinet, alto, and tenor), guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Carson Smith, and the drummer/leader, the most distinctive element in the group's identity was cellist Fred Katz. The band could play quite softly, blending together elements of bop and classical music into their popular sound and occupying their own niche. Most of these performances were formerly quite rare and never reissued before. Highly recommended to jazz historians and to listeners who enjoy classic cool jazz. Packaged in a Digipak. Lone Hill Jazz. 2006.

5 out of 5 stars Fresh from the fifties.......2007-05-10

The Chico Hamilton Quintet sounds as cool and fresh as ever, showing characteristic inventiveness in instrumental textures, rhythm, counterpoint - suave and refined.

5 out of 5 stars Great Jazz .......2007-03-21

When I was in Collage I listen to a Jazz radio station in Long Beach California. (The Jazz Knob) There was a program called "Sleepy's Hollow" which introduced me to Chico Hamiltion. I then bought this album and many others to follow. Over the years I lost in moving my whole collection of 50's jazz. Now with this purchase I have finally able to enjoy the music of my college days. This smooth jazz features Chico on drums using only the solf mallets. I have never forgotten "Blue Sands" and "My Funny Valentine" and now enjoy them again.

5 out of 5 stars A Neglected Master and his greatest group.......2007-03-09

There have been several Chico Hamilton Quintets, all including wonderful musicians, but to my ears, this is the very best. A young Jim Hall on guitar, Buddy Collette on reeds, Carson Smith originally on bass, Chico on drums and Fred Katz on cello. Cello? Yeah, jazz cello. Soft, understated, melodic and yet hard swinging music all the time. Chico was a great drummer and we all know that Jim Hall became one of the absolute greatest guitarists in the history of jazz. If you love jazz, buy this CD. If you love warm melodic music, buy this CD. If you love fantastic mood music, buy this CD. Okay, just buy this CD. It is one of the great ones.

5 out of 5 stars A great set of tunes.......2007-01-22

I heard an excerpt from this CD on NPR one morning...had to pull over and write down the artist. Ordered it at my first opportunity, and have enjoyed every listening moment. If you like jazz, this is a great choice!

5 out of 5 stars Must have. .......2007-04-05

Some call it transitional music. Everything Miles did was transitional.
What a great band. Everyone soars, great Wayne, Herbie's touch, Ron's the center, Tony's the key, Miles... just funks up my bag.

5 out of 5 stars ARGUABLY THE MOST INTERESTING PERIOD OF MILES' CAREER.......2006-03-18

This remarkable box set focuses on a period of Miles Davis' career that many jazz neophytes tend to overlook. A great deal of attention is spent on Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain and Bitches Brew - all deservedly so - but each of them represent only a portion of Davis' musical scope. Of all the stylistic changes that Miles Davis undertook, few had been as adventurous and rewarding as the work he created with his second `classic' quintet lineup, featuring Wayne Shorter on saxophone, Herbie Hancock on keyboard, Ron Carter on bass and the explosive Tony Williams on drums.
Unlike the most popular works of Miles Davis, this is not easy listening music, not by any means. The music created by this quintet is challenging and demanding, which is precisely why it is so extraordinary. Repeated listening continues to pay dividends, in spades. Difficult, angular arrangements constantly veer off into ingenious, mind-boggling directions. Following the supple movements of this rhythm section is about as difficult as chasing a kitten, but soloists Davis and Shorter (and Hancock, too, who is a major component of the rhythm section and a startling soloist as well) never seem to lose their footing. It is jazz music as an intricate game of prodding and suggestion, able to go in virtually any direction, with all five members listening to each other with an intensity that most musicians could only aspire to.

4 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for the music, 3 for the box.......2006-02-27

Although I am a huge Miles Davis fan (His Autobiography is essential reading), I was hesitant to make such a lump-sum investment in this boxed set, even at $70.00 for the 2004 re-issue. However, after reading most of the reviews here and listening to sound bites, I decided to pick it up. I have mixed emotions about my purchase.

First of all, the music is astounding! I concur with most of the other reviews regarding the music, and have nothing to add except to emphasize that every jazz fan MUST own these historical recordings. I honestly can't believe I have been on this earth for three decades, a jazz fan for one, and never owned this music before.

On the other hand, I was disappointed in the packaging. Yes, Todd Coolman's essay, "The Quintet" is revealing and informative, and the packaging has some rare photos that are fantastic additions. However, notably absent are the liner notes and artwork of the original album releases from which these six discs derive most of their material! I was planning to savor the original album art of "E.S.P.", "Miles Smiles", "Sorcerer", "Nefertiti", "Water Babies", "Miles in the Sky", and "Filles de Kilimanjaro", and to read what was written about the musicians and music on these albums when they were released. So, I was disappointed that this classic jazz was not accompanied by these historic visual representations of the music.

Still, the music itself is worth any price. The alternate takes and previously unissued tracks are great, and I personally enjoyed the chronological arrangement of the music. This boxed set is highly recommended and essential if this is how you plan to purchase this music. However, if you want the rest of the history surrounding these recordings, I suggest picking up the individual albums.

5 out of 5 stars From Here You Can Listen For Miles.......2006-02-02

I bought this handsome 6-CD retrospective because I wanted to dig into the birth of fusion, and Miles Davis gets the credit. The booklet is excellent, very informative. I knew that it covered the Miles Davis Quintet from 1965-68, and that the material from many landmark albums was included. (E.S.P., Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, Nefertiti, and Miles In The Sky). Dollar for dollar, that's a very efficient buy - each CD is over 70 minutes long. The material makes good on the promise, it reaches from traditional jazz all the way through to pre-Silent Way, Brew long jams. Really fascinating, diverse, beautiful, and thoroughly listenable music. The Davis Quintet creates its own atmosphere, almost its own vocabulary.

As I played one CD after another, I became happier and happier about buying 6 Miles Davis CDs. But I realized something rather obvious that I had overlooked. This was an all-star quintet. I had also purchased 6 Tony Williams CDs, and he has never sounded better. Same for Herbie Hancock, who, at the time, was something of an enfant terrible. Same for Wayne Shorter who simply smokes like a southbound train. Same for Ron Carter who had the nice habit of quietly turning up on just about every jazz record worth listening to in those days. I read recently that Davis wasn't a technical virtuoso and I guess that's true. But he had a genius for picking talent and he was certainly a visionary. This superb collection showcases some of the most interesting and pivotal music of its day. Wonderful.

5 out of 5 stars One of the all-time best Miles Davis box sets.......2005-06-04

"Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-1968" features nothing less than some of Miles' best music. This box set showcases many of Davis' most innovative albums including "E.S.P.," "Miles Smiles," "Sorcerer," "Nefertiti" and "Miles in the Sky." While the music leans towards psychedelia and the impending fusion movement, this is still jazz by any stretch of the imagination. The mood is cool, intelligent and laid back. While the box set documents the inevitable introduction of electric instruments, it is a gentle preamble. The electric piano is a mere suggestion and the plugged in guitar seems light years away from squealing Jimi Hendrix type power chords. While [...] Brew would eventually pass the point of no return, these six discs suggest mind expansion, but never cross the line. With this 2004 reissue, the listener gets the same music as on the original box set release but for about $30.00 less. Considering that this reissue also comes with a handsome full-color booklet, it is a mystery as to why anyone would pay an additional thirty dollars for the original. The Amazon description claims that this contains additional tracks. While this has tracks not found on the 60's releases, this reissue has the same music found on the 1998 box set. If you've always wanted Miles' 'light trip' music in one place, the "Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-1968" is the perfect box set.

5 out of 5 stars Phenomenal West Coast stuff.......2007-05-07

This cd is a very nice collector's dream from Lonehill. Even if this time they changed the original cover in this case I can forgive them. The new cover in my opinion is extremely nice so I can pass over this thing (even if generally the original cover is a must for me). This double cd collection comprehend some phenomenal fifties sessions from the guys. More or less 40 tunes from four sessions that were in the albums. Al&Zoot, You&Me, AtoZ and another earlier session. I can say this stuff is phenomenal West Coast music! The two altos create whirlwinds of sounds on tunes that are the epitome of West Coast sound! I can really suggests this collection because the music is great great stuff, no problem absolutly! You can buy the sessions separately because at least a coiuple of them are still available, but you are gonna spend a lot of money. Here they are well repackaged. But the main thing is the music. This double cd is a gem! Buy it without esitation.

    This release comprises two outstanding 1955 sessions by quintets featuring trumpeter Harry 'Sweets' Edison and drummer Buddy Rich. The latter was in fact the nominal leader of the sessions, although it is not easy to talk about leadership with two figures of such musical stature. Sweets and Rich are backed on both quintet dates by the remarkable Jimmy Rowles on piano and John Simmons on bass. The first session also boasts Edison's interplay with alto saxophonist Sonny Criss as the second horn. This was the only session recorded by Criss during that entire year and his first since 1952! On the second session, Sweets is the only horn, and the quintet is completed by guitarist Barney Kessel. 12 tracks total including 'Now's The Time', 'Easy Does It', 'Blues In The Closet (Sonny And Sweets)' and more. Definitive. 2006.

      3 out of 5 stars Incomplete Fifties Studio Recordings.......2006-10-16

      I am glad to see the continued interest in Jay and Kai's recordings. However, this collection is NOT complete. It omits the ten duet tracks from the Columbia album "Jay and Kai", CL 973. The omitted tracks are as follows: You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To / Caribe / Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe / The Song Is You / In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning / Tromboniums in Motion / How High the Moon / Violets for Your Furs / Too Close for Comfort / 'S Wonderful. These tracks were recorded in 1955 and 1956, and should have been included on this collection.

          By 1965 Miles Davis had gone through a handful of stages, from the Birth of the Cool nonet's multihued orchestrations to the development of a hard-bop sound keeled on Davis's midregister wooziness and the band's driving backbone in the "first" great quintet (featuring John Coltrane), to the modal freedom of Kind of Blue. So when the solidly established Davis convened a new quintet, known as his "second" great one, and hired youngsters Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams, it seemed a skewed move. These six CDs show just how creatively and intelligently skewed the move really was. The material here, which has also been reissued on expanded single CDs of the main full-length original LPs (E.S.P., Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, Nefertiti, Miles in the Sky), is immediately and unceasingly startling. Davis & Co. were quickly discarding their live performance practice of playing loads of standards and were further discarding traditional melodic structures for more rigorous harmonic exercises. Shorter in particular, at times the most prolific composer in the band, was advancing his tunes and his solos in equal proportion. The tunes are increasingly sharp-edged and, with Williams driving the band with a categorical balance of abandon and control, loopily energized. Miles blows with tighter and tighter control of his tone even while the band seems to be finding all kinds of expressive freedoms that easily elongate into lengthier studies. Toward the end of this box, you'll hear the seeds of the Miles that went on to unloose Bitches Brew. Even though the roots of the aggressively electric Miles are in these sessions, there are uncategorizable points of beauty strewn all over the tunes. --Andrew Bartlett

          5 out of 5 stars Miles the Auteur.......2006-05-03

          Miles Davis' mid-1960s quintet with Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums was not a typical leader-and-sidemen ensemble but a cooperative grouping of some of the most gifted and important musicians in all of postwar jazz. Sharing compositional duties, solo space, ambience and ideas, these five men crafted one of modern music's most distinctive and impressive bodies of work - sounds at once fully realized and ceaselessly probing, classic and cutting edge. By the end of their four-year association, they had reached a plateau of unified creative thought where few of their peers would ever join them, in the process doing as much as any other group or individual to forge a recognizable stylistic link between post-bop and fusion while somehow never quite slipping into either realm.
          This six-disc set, covering the quintet's entire studio output, is noteworthy in that it can - unlike many of Columbia's other "complete" Miles packages - be recommended even to relatively casual fans. Almost nothing here is superfluous, including the handful of alternate takes, some stunning rehearsal nuggets and a couple of long-lost gems which were truly worth finding. Everything fits and makes sense.
          Whether you've come to Miles via KIND OF BLUE and BIRTH OF THE COOL and are now looking to move forward, or along the other well-worn path leading back in time from BITCHES BREW and ON THE CORNER, THE COMPLETE COLUMBIA STUDIO SESSIONS 1965-68 is something you'll never regret adding to your collection. Modern jazz is as much about the music contained in this package as it is about that contained in any other; jump on in and hear it for yourself!

          5 out of 5 stars Essential........2005-10-20

          By 1965, the world of jazz had changed almost unrecognizably from just five years ago, and Miles Davis was in danger of being left behind. After the triumphs of his first few years with Columbia, it seems Davis had had enough. His past few records and his live performances found him falling back on old habits, exploring standards and hard bop pieces that he'd been playing for the past several years. Meanwhile, Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor and Albert Ayler shook the foundations of jazz and John Coltrane in December of 1964 had just aligned himself with them by recording his masterpiece "A Love Supreme". All this time, Davis had been standing still, but he'd assembled a new quintet, completed by plucking his crown jewel and tenor saxophonist Wayne Shorter from Art Blakey's band to add to his working band of pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drum prodigee Tony Williams. And while his band dutifully played the hard bop he was paying them for, they wanted to stretch out, to build on the innovations of Coleman, Taylor, Ayler and Coltrane, and remarkably, they inspired Davis to do so as well. In January of 1965, they went into the studio to record their first album together-- "E.S.P", and it was clear that, to steal an Ayler song title, change has come.

          Now granted, the music here isn't quite free jazz, but it's certainly a lot more adventerous than anything Davis had done since "Sketches of Spain". Davis by and large let his sidemen stretch their wings. Eschewing the previous use of standards and compositions by contemporaries, virtually all the material by the quintet came from within the quintet (in fact of the 45 or so compositions on this set, only two come from outside the quintet). Early on, Shorter carried the lion's share of composition with Davis taking this role later (as he began experimenting with electric instruments, his began composing more), but everyone contributes. By and large, they're extraordinarily adventerous hard bop tunes-- similar in vein to the kind of work Dolphy was doing, or perhaps even a less detailed Mingus (who tended to use larger ensembles). The performances are fierce and inventive, with fiery interaction between the members of the band and the rhythm section stealing the performances from the soloists at times. It's interesting to track the band's evolution-- the earliest material is loose and exciting (recorded in January of 1965 and October of 1966), the middle material (from the spring and summer of 1967) seems to pick up a denseness and an almost claustrophobic quality, and the later material, where Davis was driving composition and experimenting with electric instruments, becomes loose again. One thing is sure-- it's pretty much all essential material.

          Sonically, the set is nothing short of superb, as all the Columbia reissues of Davis' catalog have been. An extensive booklet with biographical details, a history of the group, and a song-by-song analysis is provided as well, although it's rather hard to read in this box.

          A set like this is a substantial investment, but it would serve most well who are interested to pick up the set. Try "Miles Smiles" for a taste of the quintet's material, but everything on here is essential. Highly recommended.

          5 out of 5 stars An outstanding possession!.......2005-10-06

          All of these recordings were worth producing, as throughout they feature the most important and lastingly satisfying five-man group in jazz (I am not being sexist here - there is no female group to compare). Occasionally of course five-man groups have played that were as good, as happened at times in the case of Charley Parker and Dizzy Gillespie (e.g. at Massey Hall) - but not in as organised, abundantly brilliant and sustained a fashion as this. Miles Davis was as good, all in all, as at any time in his career, and the range of his expressive powers is astounding: from the delicately subtle to the searingly soaring. The choice of tracks was amazingly varied and rewarding throughout. Coltrane was still maturing, but played nevertheless with a fire and intensity of invention that noone on tenor has matched either before him or after. And the rhythm section was also extraordinarily good. The whole package is very much worth having, and not least because it is NOT monotonous, ever - the artists were too richly imaginative for that, and constantly played meaningful, profound, varied and deeply rewarding music. An accompaniment for and to one's life, and an original expression OF life, that of the artists and us all, so that we can all share in what these musicians so generously offered. - Joost Daalder

          5 out of 5 stars Five Stars..........but..................2005-07-23

          I would suggest to anyone interested in purchasing this box set to buy the individual albums that comprise it instead. ESP, Miles Smiles, Sorcerer, Nefertiti, Miles In The Sky, Filles and even Water Babies are all classic and deserve to be heard as individual entities. Yeah I know you can program your cd players to the original running order, but the individual albums (all remixed and remastered with bonus tracks and liner notes) offer a better introduction to those who have never heard this band before.

          Buy ESP first and live with it for a couple weeks, then move on to Miles Smiles, and etc. It's the way to go believe me. This music is immortal and the cornerstone of modern jazz and post bop as we know it. The original albums deserve to be listened to as originally intended.

          5 out of 5 stars One of the all-time best Miles Davis box sets.......2005-06-07

          "Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-1968" features nothing less than some of Miles' best music. This box set showcases many of Davis' most innovative albums including "E.S.P.," "Miles Smiles," "Sorcerer," "Nefertiti" and "Miles in the Sky." While the music leans towards psychedelia and the impending fusion movement, this is still jazz by any stretch of the imagination. The mood is cool, intelligent and laid back. While the box set documents the inevitable introduction of electric instruments, it is a gentle preamble. The electric piano is a mere suggestion and the plugged in guitar seems light years away from squealing Jimi Hendrix type power chords. While [...] Brew would eventually pass the point of no return, these six discs suggest mind expansion, but never cross the line. If you've always wanted Miles' 'light trip' music in one place, the "Miles Davis Quintet, 1965-1968" is the perfect box set.

          Around $30.00 can be saved by purchasing the 2004 reissue of this 1998 box set. The reissue has the same music and also comes with a handsome full-color booklet.
