Reaching back to the earliest cd version I have retained of “Miles in Berlin”–the SBM Master Sound lp facsimile version, which is sounding mighty good this morning.
This was the earliest concert of the Quintet with Wayne Shorter released before this year’s box set of recordings in '63 and '64 in France. And it has long been a favorite since the LP version was first released way back when in the US as part of a 2 LP set.
“Miles in Berlin” Sony SRCS 9708 cd
Not to my ears. . . sounded a bit more progressive than that and I can see what Alfred Lion heard in this music to "foster" and it was one of the sessions that led to RVG being the Blue Note engineer of choice.
COLD this morning. . . but the snow stopped.
Starting off with disc 15 of this excellent box set:
Duke Ellington The Duke Ellington Centennial Edition: The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1927-1973)
“Swiss Radio Days Vol. 48 - Louis Armstrong All Stars” Dot Time cd
New release. . . slightly different lineup with McCracken on clarinet. . . sound is good (Louis could be a little louder when singing).
