George Gershwin's opera Porgy & Bess was not a great success after its Broadway premiere in 1927. Individual titles, however, quickly became popular and popular jazz standards. Arranger Gil Evans and trumpeter Miles Davis created an arrangement in 1958 that music critics consider the best collaboration between the two musicians. As controversial as Gershwin's opera was, this recording is magical, with Davis playing some of his best solos. MFSL's reissue makes the arrangements sound clearer, more open, more immediate and more multidimensional than ever. Miles Davis is joined by saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb, among others, with production on the Columbia label handled by Cal Lampley and Teo Macero.
Remastering for this hybrid SACD was handled by Shawn R. Britton. The limited edition of 3,000 copies with consecutive serial numbers appears in a mini-LP cover.
