Both are great concerts. I think the sound is a little better here, though I haven't made a direct comparison this week. There are only a week apart between them. . . very similar performances but as you know there are significant differences between Miles concerts in any year.

This is a great release. Sound almost as good as the Dragon/Bootleg series releases of 1960 tour material. Great performances.

I like the strawberry but in the evenings it upsets my stomach a bit . . . I like grape later in the day.

Dexter Gordon ‘Gettin’ Around" Blue Note Japan 24 bit by RVG LP facsimile cd

Lost our internet from 5:00 p.m. or so til 2:00 a.m. Back now and catching up. Now playing Steve Lehman Octet “Travel, Transformation and Flow” More than a bit outside but resembling my brain this morning that is only linear when my dog is barking looking for more food.

The sound is quite good. The playing is very nice.

That flavor is not available here. .. yet.

I ordered it from Blue Sounds (www.freshsoundrecords.com)
