Pan Am Vinyl & CDs

Review: Firstly, just look at that cover art - it is a magnificently candid holiday snap of one of the jazz world's greatest ever. It's totally at odds with the normally much more serious and dark covers the jazz of the time often came with, but we love it. The album itself is a vital work amongst many on the catalogue of Davis as it brings together the work of two different sessions. The first session gave rise to the first two tunes which take up the whole of the a-side and the second included his classic 'Solar' composition. It became something of a jazz standard although this man only ever recorded it this one time.
