Description:

If a more significant, influential, and lasting result of a creative musical partnership exists than that of Miles Davis and Gil Evansâ?? Porgy and Bess, society hasnâ??t seen it. Itâ??s impossible to overstate the importance of the pairâ??s collaboration on the landmark 1959 update of George Gershwinâ??s opera. Transcending genre, time, and place, the profound statement finds Evans and Davis implementing modal approaches in a mainstream context and advancing jazz idioms that would become the foundation of the formâ??s still-classic era. Davis and Evansâ?? adaptation of Porgy and Bess remains of a piece, an American touchstone that immediately separated itself from the multiple other versions released during the same period. And thatâ??s saying nothing of the soulful playingâ??legendary performances by Davisâ?? first great quintet that can now be heard in pristine detail courtesy of these definitive editions. Mastered from the original tapes and strictly limited to 4,000 numbered copies on 180g 45RPM 2LP and 3,000 numbered copies on hybrid SACD, Porgy and Bess attains previously unheard degrees of clarity, openness, immediacy, and depth on Mobile Fidelityâ??s meticulous reissues. Here, the arrangements unfold amidst practically limitless soundstages and burst with multi-dimensional images. Davisâ?? iconic solo passages take on borderline-surreal qualities of realism and shape. The magisterial scope of the Evansconducted orchestra emerges with room-filling bloom, color, and dynamics. At once sweet and spiritual, sure and steady, graceful and exuberant, happy and sad, Porgy and Bess is a phenomenal jazz dance that has never been equaled. You canâ??t afford not to hear it in the finest-possible fidelity. -
