Ok...it's not the old Miles that you were expecting, nor was it meant to be.
IMO this compulation represents is a good mix of Robert Glasper's Jazz Fusion Neo Soul style, with tasteful hints of Miles Davis updated for today, and intertwined into a Fresh Jazz Neo Soul Taffy for 2016.
Just like one of the rules Miles lived, he did not believe in stagnation, but lived in an ever changing state of evolution.
If you don't like the album don't buy it, but respect the Miles Davis Estate, Robert Glasper, and those of us that do.
Peace to all.
Solid album

This is a RG album with a Miles Davis spin, not the other way around. Understand that and you will really enjoy this album.
Miles would be proud

You don't get to dictate what Black people can and cannot do with OUR creations. This is a great album and Miles would be proud Thanks RG!

Create a groove, repeat it over and over, add light colorings over the top - the Glasper formula...
Don't waste your money.

This album, in no way, honors Miles Davis. Robert Glasper is an inconsistent musician - capable of great things but also willing to make projects like this public. Aside from a couple audio bytes from interviews and a few music samples, Davis' iconic sound isn't even represented in this album. One very disappointed musician, here!
Ugh

Just what Miles needed- to be made to play second fiddle to a bunch of vocalists who couldn't tie his shoelaces.
I really don't understand why this needed to exist or what good it is supposed to do for Miles' godlike legacy.
And btw this is coming from a hardcore fan who loves (at least some stuff from) every era of Miles, AND the remixes and reworks like Panthalassa and plenty of tributes, from Cassandra Wilson's to the Miles En Espanol record to Kind Of Reggae. This is just not good.
Haven't listened...

Just the fact that the title says Miles Davis and Robert Glasper
diminishes the worth of Miles just as the new film has. It's an obvious marketing tactic and smart people are not going to fall for it, unless you're a Trump supporter. Nice one BlueNote, sell sell sell...
Title not category

A definite miss for a music genius like Glasper. If the title didn't have Miles' name in it I would give it a better rating . Jazz defies categorization so I don't agree that it needs to be in the R&B genre. This album evokes ol' school and new school memories of "sounds of blackness " Isaac Hayes, and Kendrick Lamar. NOT MILES DAVIS. Repetitive club beats and drum machines weren't miles' style. And if he were living he would hang with all musicians but more likely to vibe with young lions like Kendrick Scott Oracle, Lionel Loueke and Kamasi Washington . A very deceptive title. There is NO essence of miles in this.
It's bad no matter how you slice it I don't care who's on it

Why can't the guy make it on his own without tagging Miles Davis. I guess there's no shame left.

I really enjoy this album Miles Davis tracks with DOPE rhymes is like cookie n Cream. Those of you who are looking for just Miles this is not the case. RG has sampled Miles Davis best work of art and made it his own! 10000 stars for me!
RG's talent & creativity shine !!!

Robert Glasper is one of my favorite artists. He's extremly versatile & can incorporate so many different styles into his music it's unbelievable. Those who came here looking for a straight ahead jazz album obviously are disconnected from the current music scene. It was clear what this project was going to be a year ago. The Robert Glasper Trio plays that type of music, this is in the vein of the Robert Glasper Experiment. Any true fan of Miles knows that he also played many different styles over here career
Elevator music.

Elevator music. Too bad Miles name is attached to this.
Good effort

It's an ok album but it feels like its missing something. There's some good tracks like "right on brotha" feat. Stevie wonder but overall I cant see my self coming back to this albums. Hope Mr. Glasper comes with some original comps for his next project.
Don't mix

Sorry Miles
A Targeted Audience perhaps?

In the iTunes review the writer uses words and phrases like recontextualizing and a nod and rendering unrecognizable to describe what Robert Glasper and the Miles Davis estate have done with this recording. It sounds as though this recording is targeted to a very specific demographic and unfortunately I am not among that group for this recording. I cannot appreciate at all the vocalizations of GAM and HK - whats the point? Were they meant to represent his horn work? As Robert Glasper says "I think Miles Davis would have loved Eryka Badu" (and GAM and HK) but not this bossa nova'd version of Maiysha. I normally greatly enjoy Mr. Glasper's innovative compositions and reimaginings but consider the originals in this case to be much more so than these "reimaginings". There are only a couple of tunes on this entire recording I consider even passable and I am very sorry to have to say this. I truly appreciate the ambition and desire to bring Miles Davis' music to a current generation if that is what was being attempted, but this falls short. Mr. Glasper please try again, please.
Maybe Hiatus Coyote can save it!
