Box sets
MILES DAVIS; "The Complete 'On the Corner' Sessions" (Columbia/Legacy) *** 1/2
In 1972, jazz great Davis released "On the Corner," a decidedly more funk-oriented album than his usual fare. With such session players as Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Dave Lebman, Sonny Fortune, Michael Henderson and Al Foster, Davis experimented with his trumpet, grooves and tape loops. Gleaned from 6 1/2 hours of studio work this six-CD set includes two hours of previously unreleased material, and uncut and unedited masters, featuring "One and One," "Rated X" and the album's title track. The doodles and meanderings will attract fans and jazz enthusiasts, but some of the music flows into the tedious. Scott Iwasaki
DONALD FAGEN; "Nightly Trilogy" (Reprise) ***
ARETHA FRANKLIN; "Rare & Unreleased Recordings From the Golden Reign of the Queen of Soul" (Rhino) ***
This two-disc collection isn't actually a box set, but it does feature the kind of recordings that box sets traditionally contain demos, outtakes, second takes, single B-sides, etc. Franklin fans will love hearing her unique renditions of "Suzanne," "My Way," "My Cup Runneth Over" and an alternate mix of "Rock Steady," among others. Chris Hicks
GENESIS; "1983-1998" (Atlantic/Rhino)** 1/2
This is not a complete Genesis set but zeroes in on the band's most popular "power-trio" albums, with accompanying DVDs, and an extra CD/DVD collection of bonus material. "Genesis," "Invisible Touch," "We Can't Dance" (with Phil Collins on vocals) and "Calling All Stations" (Ray Wilson on vocals), along with MTV-aired videos, photo galleries and recent interviews.
