Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis collaboration FREE DOWNLOAD NOW by Benny Sutton published on 2016-07-05T14:50:59Z download the album bit.ly/2HBnOYH Backstory here... http://www.bennysutton.com/Music/Jimi-Hendrix-and-Miles-Davis.aspx One of the most interesting releases of 2019 is Jimi Meets Miles by guitarist Benny Sutton. It could turn out to be an instant classic, appealing to both fans of Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis. It has already gained more plays on YouTube than any guitar based instrumental music could expect. It's unique, innovative and highly improvised. Completely remixed this album is now available for free download Its intriguing concept is what it would it sound like had Jazz and Rock giants Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis jammed together. Jimi and Miles had planned what most critics agree would have been the sessions of the century back in the 70's It would perhaps one of the most important collaborations ever had Fate not intervened. This album a very articulate effort at creating some highly energy and improvised sessions that Jimi and Miles may have produced. This album reminds us just how good Jazz Fusion was as a genre. Assumptions have been made, for example that both Miles and Jimi would have evolved so don't expect the obvious. Artistic license has been exercised, the band sound is more based on the Miles Davis band of the 80's and 90's. And why not? That band featured bass legend Marcus Miller! Ben Sutton attacks Jimi's guitar parts intelligently, not playing Jimi's licks note for note, rather getting in the zone and riding it. It all feels recognisably Jimi and quite often sounds like the man himself could have played it. Another impressive innovation is the virtual trumpet, it's accurate in both in Miles' tone and also style. Amazingly Ben Sutton wrote this parts and played them into MIDI using a keyboard synthesiser. You may come to this album primarily from the Jimi angle but, if you're not already familiar with Miles Davis, this will encourage you to explore his work more. Miles was every bit the magician Jimi was. Both were so out in the stratosphere as musicians and as forces of nature. The two of them together would have produced fireworks and this album has high energy, improvisation, and interplay in abundance. The album is very well thought out. Both Jimi and Miles tracks are attempted, each getting a hint of how the other would have contributed. Other musicians include top UK Jazz Session Bassist Steve Shone, catch his explosive bass solo on track one If 6 were 9. On drums is international hired gun Graham Argent given free rein, his often free form style very reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell. Altogether a joy to listen to!
