A band I'd like to play with does this and I'm told it's by Miles Davis, but I swear I've looked at EVERY CD in release and can't find it. I did find an mp3 by another group but it doesn't help me much with the arrangement.
Does anyone know which CD it would be on? I believe it's from the post-Bitches Brew era. Or is it by some other artist?

look for the late '50's period of music (when davis
was playing with bill evans, coltrane and cannonball
adderley).
i used to think it was a bill evans tune, but it's by
miles davis. what album it's from, i don't know.
(how's that for honesty?)
but that period in time (when evans was playing w/
miles) is where you want to start your search...

Supposedly Miles wrote Nardis to celebrate Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley's debut album as a leader of his own group. As you probably already know, Cannonball had been with the Miles Davis Sextet
You can find it on this 1958 recording:
JULIAN ADDERLEY QUINTET
Portrait of Cannonball
The album features Blue Mitchell, Bill Evans, Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones.
There's dozens and dozens of recordings out there where others have played Nardis. I know Bill Evans has recorded with his own group as well. So pick-up the Cannonball album if you want to hear the original recording.

I don't believe Miles ever recorded it.
You may want to check out Patricia Barber's version on "Cafe Blue" - excellent rhythm section /interesting drum solo.

OK thanks everyone. The bass player gave me the title and didn't know much about it obviously. I like Miles's Coltrane-Evans period better anyway.

Probably the most emulated arrangement is the Bill Evans Trio version (Scotty and Paul Motian), I think it's on SUNDAY AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD...

Thanks but I went to Amazon to check on that one. Nice album but no Nardis. Also not on the other 2 CDs listed. Whatever it was on, it must be out of print. |

Like I said, " I think..." the record I had it on was a twofer re issue that had a number of different albums on it, including the Vanguard/Waltz for Debbie recordings.
But broaden your (SEARCH) horizons, same band (Scotty, Paul) the record (available on CD) is EXPLORATIONS.
That was just from typing "Bill Evans" into the EXACT PHRASE window of google.

I just love your Tabernacle Choir...
No worries, great tune, great band.
Just if you're into Scotty check out the CD THE ARRIVAL OF VICTOR FELDMAN, it's Scotty's first major label recording (his first recording was under a pseudonym on a record by pianist Pat Moran). He's 19 or 20 and he just KILLS. From his first note he just takes over the record. His approach is a lot more out of the Pettiford/Chambers bag than the later Bill Evans approach.

Great version IMHO - not at all like anything from Bill Evans, but that's one reason why I dig it so much. (Don't misunderstand, I love Bill Evans' approach to the tune, too!) Rachel Z also has a nice version of Nardis on her CD, "Trust The Universe." |
