Two months away, not too bad I hope this isn't one of those releases that gets postponed a dozen times! It's an off-kilter blues with a wide middle section, no doubt for Lewis ' piano to fill.

It's a wonderful ensemble showcase but Davis blows his ass off in his solo, riding through the two saxophonists and challenging them at the same time. But then comes "Milestones" with its modal round and interval, where harmony is constructed from the center up.

It is a memorable tune for not only its structure and how it would inform not only Davis ' own music, but jazz in general for the next seven years. It would also change John Coltrane 's life. The exploratory style of soloing was already revealing itself in Trane's playing, but he loosens it up even more here.

More importantly, this is the first place we get to see it in Davis , where there is no goal at the end of the rainbow, there is merely the solo itself in the heart of the mode. The alternate take of this tune, which is featured at the end of the album, tagged on with two others of "Two Bass Hit" and "Straight, No Chaser," has an even longer and weirder solo by Davis where he plays notes he probably never played again.

Like "My Funny Valentine," it was a Davis staple that accented how intuitive the band was with unusual harmonic structures like Monk 's. Shifting gears from aspiring electropop princess to rock 'n' rule dream queen, Toronto's DYLYN is re-examining her life while searching for truth with a new song and a very scary-good music video. Brooklyn experimental quartet JOBS don't have a conventional musical bone in their body, resulting in a thrilling, typically off-kilter new album, endless birthdays.

It's an emotionally powerful collection that inspires repeated listens. Hawkwind's debut opened the door to rock's collective sonic possibilities, something that connected them tenuously to punk, dance, metal, and noise. Lush art and dark, cryptic fables permeate Zao Dao's stunning graphic novel, Cuisine Chinoise. Alanis Morissette's Such Pretty Forks in the Road is an exposition of dolorous truths, revelatory in its unmasking of imperfection.
