Miles Davis Exhibition at the Cité de la Musique de la Villette in Paris ahead of a musical retrospective of the great mysteries of his work on the Parisian stage.
To show what means, go all to tell the kaleidoscopic journey of an artist, encouraging the Boeotian to delve deeper, attract specialists and be fun and beautiful, such wagers are recurring musical exposure. Whether or John Lennon Serge Gainsbourg, it would be dishonest to disparage the work of La Cité de la Musique, because the characteristic of these exposures is not to say anything - the books are written for specialists that - but brilliantly partially open spaces for future listeners worthy of the name. Miles exposure is good exposure as such it must try to see at times of low attendance, firstly because the music terminals where people can plug their own headphones to listen to the great stages of the Davisian work are few (4 outlets per terminal), as dark and deep space might create quickly a claustrophobic atmosphere, and finally because it is an exhibition that is consumed in private.
ovoid spaces, then accessible to all ears, present excerpts of great works supported by a discrete iconography. Eight trumpets, jackets made of top designers in the 80s, album covers, film clips (including An elevator to the gallows Louis Malle, Jack Johnson Jim Jacobs of the docu on the boxer and the movie Festival Isle of Wight Murray Lerner) and a few scores are the objects of this worship must.
We regret the superficial treatment of some topics such as the Negro question, reports of painful Miles with white jazz standards, his fear of locking themselves into a kind and his need to surround himself with younger musicians and too ... few interviews with musicians who accompanied the master or permanently affected by it. But, perhaps this was not it a good place to expose it.
It seems to me that this exhibition should be seen as support for the real festivities ahead to find out the concert series where former musicians from Miles, including Wayne Shorter, Jack DeJohnette and Jimmy Cobb, and brilliant interpreters recreate the defining albums of the trumpeter's career.
