Imho the 1965 Plugged Nickel recordings, while wonderful, are inferior in musical quality to the 1967 live recordings from Newport and Europe. My guess is their reputation is largely based on the fact that for a long time they (and Miles in Berlin) were the only widely circulating live recordings of this quintet.

They should release the June 1969 Plugged Nickel recording with it as a bonus disc

What exactly was Joe Henderson's issue with Michael Brecker's
Guy Berger replied to CJ Shearn's topic in Artists
I remember when this thread was created 15 years ago. My opinion about Brecker’s playing has improved over that time. -
“Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord” is one of the most glorious things in Impulse’s discography. Also a major highlight in the careers of Cecil McBee (no mean feat!) and Lonnie Liston Smith

I love Pharoah’s ballad playing

I love the 2 CD set. On many days I like it better than Quebec’s LPs. -
I hope they add them to streaming services too.

Your website is an incredible resource (ironically mostly on what to avoid )

Finally listened to this for the first time. Whew. The title track in particular is SCORCHING.

RIP. I've been listening to a lot of his albums over the past year (was just enjoying "Un Dia Bonito" from The Sun of Latin Music yesterday). Just a really strong combo of adventurousness and quality control

I finally got around to hearing this album and it’s really great! Maybe not the BEST Waldron I’ve heard, but in the top 10
-
Listening to this and it’s really good. Reminds me of Joe Lovano at his most Dewey Redman esque. May pick it up…
-
Funny you mention this - just started to dig into the 3 CD set as well as Firehouse. Intense tenor sax trio music! Anybody who likes James Brandon Lewis, late Coltrane or Albert Ayler will enjoy this.

Miles in France 1963 & 1964
Guy Berger replied to Stefan Wood's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
A lot of the received wisdom on post-1970 Miles is still really shallow, especially in mainstream jazz discourse
