Cons: Possible shameless marketing ploy
Is Sony releasing a remastered version of a box set that they released about 5 years ago? Do they really expect people who bought it the first time to shell out for a remastered version? If this is true than it is more proof that mainstream labels can't be trusted with jazz catalogues.

Pro Reviews: Complete Columbia Studio Recordings 1955-1961 [REMASTERED]
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews As the fourth (fifth, if you count the Complete Plugged Nickel) entry in Columbia's celebrated series of Miles Davis box sets, The Complete Columbia Recordings: Miles Davis John Coltrane was perhaps the most anticipated set, and it's easy to see why. The push and pull between Miles and Coltrane resulted in dynamic recordings that set the standard for modern jazz and this was for their Prestige recordings, before they even moved to Columbia. Once Miles relocated to Columbia, he began to push the boundaries of his music. The progression from the sublime, afterhours Round About Midnight to the modal Milestones is remarkable all the more so when Kind of Blue, the culmination of Davis' modal direction, is taken into the equation. Over the course of six discs, The Complete Columbia Recordings traces this progression, including the entirety of 'Round About Midnight, Milestones, and Kind of Blue, plus selections from Someday My Prince Will Come, the live album Miles Coltrane 57, and 18 unreleased tracks, all alternate takes. Even if you're familiar with this music and any jazz fan will be the chronological, sessionorder sequencing keeps it fresh, and it's possible to marvel at how quickly their talents deepened. For neophytes, this isn't really an ideal way to dive into these remarkable recordings, since there's not only too much, but it's arranged in a way that doesn't ease the listener into the music. It's designed to be a library piece for collectors, fans, and historians that have already absorbed the music fully. After all, the original album covers are not reproduced anywhere in the notes, and the discs themselves are cryptically identified with dots that parallel the numbers on a clock. For anyone that knows and loves this music though, this is an essential addition to a comprehensive jazz library. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |
