It's impossible to overstate the importance of the pair's collaboration on the landmark 1959 update of George Gershwin's opera. Transcending genre, time, and place, the profound statement finds Evans and Davis implementing modal approaches in a mainstream context and advancing jazz idioms that would become the foundation of the form's still-classic era. Davis and Evans' adaptation of Porgy and Bess remains of a piece, an American touchstone that immediately separated itself from the multiple other versions released during the same period. And that's saying nothing of the soulful playing-legendary performances by Davis' first great quintet that can now be heard in pristine detail courtesy of these definitive editions. Mastered from the original tapes and strictly limited to 4,000 numbered copies on 180g 45RPM 2LP, Porgy and Bess attains previously unheard degrees of clarity, openness, immediacy, and depth on Mobile Fidelity's meticulous reissues. Here, the arrangements unfold amidst practically limitless soundstages and burst with multi-dimensional images. Davis' iconic solo passages take on borderline-surreal qualities of realism and shape. The magisterial scope of the Evansconducted orchestra emerges with room-filling bloom, color, and dynamics. At once sweet and spiritual, sure and steady, graceful and exuberant, happy and sad, Porgy and Bess is a phenomenal jazz dance that has never been equaled. You can't afford not to hear it in the finest-possible fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr\u003e1 The Buzzard Song\u003cbr\u003e2 Bess, You Is My Woman Now\u003cbr\u003e3 Gone\u003cbr\u003e4 Gone, Gone, Gone\u003cbr\u003e5 Summertime\u003cbr\u003e6 Oh Bess, Where's My Bess?\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Prayer (Oh Doctor Jesus)\u003cbr\u003e2 Fisherman, Strawberry and Devil Crab\u003cbr\u003e3 My Man's Gone Now\u003cbr\u003e4 It Ain't Necessarily So\u003cbr\u003e5 Here Come de Honey Man\u003cbr\u003e6 I Wants to Stay Here (A.K.A.
