Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) is the debut studio album by American hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan, released on November 9, 1993 by Loud Records. Recording sessions took place during 1992 and 1993 at Firehouse Studio in New York City, and the album was produced by the group's de facto leader RZA. Its title originates from the martial arts film The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978).

The saxophonists trade choruses and come off sounding like mirrored images of one another in the slower, post-bop blues that is "Sid's Ahead." With a slippery melody line that quotes two harmonic lines from early New Orleans-styled blues, Davis drives the band into the rhythm section's garage. It's Cannonballfirst with his stuttered, angular lines, hiccuping halfway through the interval before continuing on with a squeak here and the slightest squawk there. Next up is Davis, blowing fluid and straightened lines, ribbons through the rhythm section's center as Red Garlandlays out and leaves it to Paul Chambersand Philly Joe Jonesto provide the earnest, time-keeping 4/4 that Davis sidles to in the tune. When Coltranesolos, all best are off as he plays as pure a blues as he was capable at the time. Nonetheless, there are the long lines of slurred notes, smattered against Garland's harmonies and he slips into quoting "Skip to my Lou" before knotting it back down to the basics and even then not for long. Coltranewas already exploring the edges of mode and harmony; he used an intervallic invention in the choruses to juxtapose his solo against the rhythm section and it worked -- but it must have made Davis raise an eyebrow. Chambers' solo is as tasteful and as breezy and free as only he could be. His contrapuntal soloing rides the rhythm out, Garlandstriding along quietly until the tune returns

《迈尔斯戴维斯·泛蓝调调》是20世纪顶尖爵士乐手最完美的一次经典录音，透过重新数位制作呈献细腻感动的质素；也是认识史上最伟大爵士巨人Miles Davis的入门推荐，与爵士乐迷收藏的必备经典！

素有“黑暗王子”之称的小号巨擘 Miles Davis （1929-91）是一位奠定50年代酷派（Cool School）冷调风格，开创60年代末期Jazz-Rock 融合（Fusion）新乐风的先锋；受到波普（Bop）时期最具代表性萨克斯风大师Charlie Parker提携，Miles Davis由纽约52街的酒吧表演跨入大乐团，而后自组五重奏的历程，不仅绽放个人深刻色彩，更跨越肤色藩篱成就后起之秀。这张专辑除了获得企鹅爵士五星最高评价，也是各家乐评一致推荐的世纪不朽作品；自1959年发行至今届满四十周年，美国当地销售超越七十万张，全球销售高达两百万张。

“Kind Of Blue”谱写酷派爵士时期，调式爵士（modal）经典代表；由Miles Davis与作曲及钢琴家Bill Evans共同蕴织出主要行进线，以贯穿整张专辑的概念为主轴，藉着其他乐手的加入而渲染蔓延转化层次分明的无际空间。参与本专辑的乐手们在日后皆成为爵士乐界要角，而“Kind Of Blue”也是 Miles Davis五重奏巅峰时期的专辑，每一位乐手表现超高水准。中音萨克风手John Coltrane与Miles共有的灵巧思绪以纯熟的默契化作柔畅的旋律，在最具代表性曲目“So What”中，可以发现两人即兴演奏的精彩绝伦。而高音萨克斯风手“Connonball” Adderley、贝斯名将Paul Chambers和鼓手James Cobb在Miles穿针引线的前导带领，凝聚演绎技巧绝妙境界的最高张力。只出现在“Flamenco Sketches”一曲的钢琴大师Wynton Kelly，同样跟乐手们演出完美契合的对话，专辑还有未曾在黑胶唱片时收录的版本！

专辑介绍：
1976 年12月7日，在瑞典斯德哥尔摩旧城区的Stempen爵士俱乐部，举行了几场爵士热演，其中包括瑞典最著名的萨克斯大师Arne Domnerus和颤音琴大师Lars Erstrand，以及钢琴、贝斯与爵士鼓等五位名家的合力演出。俱乐部舞台稍高出地面，许多顾客就坐在四周，录音师Gert Palmcrantz则躲在小厨房，用总共三支立体麦克风和简单的录音器材很精确的记录了演奏的细节与动态，音乐优美甘甜，空间的细微噪音也一并完整收集，所以现场感强烈，舞台立体浮凸的在眼前呈现，即使不用多声道系统，环境包围感一样叫人惊讶无比。聆听这张唱片，你会情不自禁认为自己就置身现场，俱乐部内那种烟雾弥漫围绕着酒酣耳热，看着台上乐手忘我尽情地演奏与爵士乐现场的那种即兴鲜活感完全地保留与表现出来。
1977年演出的部分录音由瑞典的宝碟Proprius公司制成双黑胶LP唱片《Jazz at the Pawnshop》出版，由于录音把俱乐部现场完美的重现立即成为爵士乐和发烧唱片的楷模，此后宝碟把其余的录音制成了第二和第三集。此唱片传入香港后，港人给它起了个响亮的名字：《当铺爵士》。后来又有了CD版，HDCD版，XRCD版，SACD版等众多的版本，此唱片也是有史以来版本最多的唱片之一。几乎所有的音响杂志、收藏家都会推荐的专辑、对发烧迷与音响设计师与制造商来说，更是测试片的终极模板。
2007年宝碟Proprius公司全球限量发行了3000套（每一套都有编号）：当铺爵士30周年终极纪念版《Jazz at the Pawnshop 30th anniversary》，内容包括三张SACD外加一张DVD访谈，其中第三碟的第六、七曲是从未发表过的录音。
