In fact, the first release of the Carnegie Hall music and its Koko was on an unnumbered ten-incher from the Hot Club de Lyon back in the 50s.
The LP came in a white cover.
I sold my copy during one of my first visit to Fred Cohen's Jazz Corner Center (at its former location).
Some more CDs appearing in the Jazz in Paris series...
also for the umpteenth time: Miles Davis Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud plus a couple of others...
Nothing about these reissues on the Universal France website.
Yes, what a career!
He seemed to be an everpresent musician and appeared on so many favorite dates.
His solo on Jimmie Lunceford 'Uptown Blues' was a classic!
The album was originally released on the West Coast label Jazzwest
It was recorded in LA when the Miles Davis quintet traveled west. Neither Miles nor Red Garland played on the date.
The album was also released under John Coltrane's name when it was first issued in France on the Polydor label.
Those three Webster Young are live dates. Interesting for Webster Young's playing, not so much for the other musicians.
One of the feature of Volume 2 was the track 'A Trumpet Player's Town' which turned out to be a 1980 radio interview with Miles Davis.
Miles seemed to be speaking out of a cave! When the recording was released it was a rare chance to hear from Miles who had sort of retired at the time.
