Album Review - Henry Kaiser & Wadada Leo Smith - Yo Miles! Sky Garden
Immediately upon hearing Yo Miles! Sky Garden, it becomes abundantly
clear that both guitarist Henry Kaiser and trumpet player Wadada Leo
Smith, the collection's creators, hold a particularly comprehensive
understanding of Miles Davis' music as well as his creative process.
Given the duo's own extraordinary talents, it's not surprising that the
set works as well as it does. In fact, they do such a masterful job at
exploring the extemporaneous regions of the material that instead of
merely covering the songs, they manage to encapsulate the brilliance
that brewed them in the first place. From this, they also are able to
orchestrate several new pieces that serve as a virtual aggrandizement of
Davis' remarkably variegated legacy.
