Trumpeter Russell Gunn has always been a forwardthinking musician, incorporating his love of hiphop and electronics along with his obvious talent for edgy postbop improvisation. So, it should come as no surprise that Russell Gunn Plays Miles, while obviously a record paying tribute to one of Gunn's biggest influences, the legendary trumpeter Miles Davis, is an edgeofyourear experience. Not only has Gunn not made a straightahead, acoustic jazz album, he's made a '70s'80s fusionera Davis album that defies expectations even on those farreaching terms. Which isn't to say this is the most "next level" or innovative jazz album in recent years; on the contrary, many of the jazzfunk sounds Gunn reappropriates on Plays Miles will be almost cozily familiar to any longtime fans of such similarly minded funksters and Davis acolytes as Herbie Hancock, Eddie Henderson, the Jazz Crusaders, Donald Byrd, and others. The rub here is where and when Gunn has chosen to employ these sounds. By the third track in, after you've grown accustomed to Gunn's layered groove on such iconic Davis cuts as the leadoff track, "Tutu" (in itself a bold statement of purpose), and "Bitches Brew," his slowjam, RBinfused version of "Blue in Green" is at once tantamount to sacrilege and the hippest joint imaginable. Similarly, Gunn's propulsive and Latinesque take on Davis' usually spare and dreamy "Eighty One" is unexpectedly rootsy in its danceoriented funkiness, and comes off as something along the lines of Bootsy Collins backing the Fort Apache Band. Ultimately, the real tribute here is not so much that Gunn is playing Miles, it's that he gets Miles.
