Conrad Herwig Nonet - Another Kind of Blue: The Latin Side of Miles Davis

Trombonist Conrad Herwig, who had previously recorded The Latin Side Of John Coltrane, is at it again. Another Kind Of Blue has versions of the five songs from Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue ("So What," "Freddie Freeloader," "Blue in Green," "All Blues," and "Flamenco Sketches") plus "Petits Machins" performed by a Latin jazz nonet. The results are quite enjoyable and, with the exception of the repertoire and a couple orchestrated sections for the ensemble (the introduction of "So What" by Bill Evans and Paul Chambers, and Davis' trumpet solo on "Freddie Freeloader"), the music has little connection to the original Kind Of Blue with Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Cannonball Adderley. Read More
