Bopping the Blues pulls back the curtain on a young Miles Davis in a 1946 Hollywood studio session, presented here on CD with multiple takes from the date.
At the time Davis was barely out of his teens, already a sideman on the front lines of bebop and touring with Billy Eckstine's big band. This session gathered several of Eckstine's players, including Gene Ammons on tenor saxophone and Art Blakey on drums, to back vocalists Earl Coleman and Ann Baker on a handful of blues and ballads. Long before the cool, the modal experiments or the electric years, here is Davis learning his craft in real time.
The format is the fascination. Don't Sing Me the Blues appears in two takes, I've Always Got the Blues in three, and Baby, Won't You Make Up Your Mind in three more, so you can hear arrangements tighten, solos shift and musicians feel their way toward the keeper. Don't Explain to Me Baby gets the most attempts of all, and Davis's muted, economical fills already hint at the restraint that became his signature.
It is loose, intimate and full of the small surprises studio outtakes do best.
For jazz historians and devoted Miles fans, this is a rare snapshot of a legend before the legend took shape.
