(Columbia Legacy Jazz)Venerable trumpeter Miles Davis, who broke every rule in jazz seconds after he constructed it, is at his best on this double-disc document of his historic 1970 Fillmore East show. The killer backup band features Chick Corea, Dave Holland, and Wayne Shorter.
Simon & Garfunkel
Various Reissues (Columbia Legacy)Tied to Paul Simon’s recent CD release and tour,
Sony has reissued five of the light-pop duo’s most pertinent and popular albums: Bookends; Sounds of Silence; Wednesday Morning 3 A.M.; Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme; and, of course, Bridge Over Troubled Water. Added incentive: previously unreleased tracks of the sweet harmonies and acoustic guitars that made these guys matter.
