medjuck Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Just got an e-mail from the Vault which included the following: Playing as part of an all-star jam that included Thelonious Monk, Zoot Sims, and Gerry Mulligan, the Miles Davis show at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival warrants the importance history has attached to it -- listen to and download the set today! And once you've gotten your fill of his 1955 comeback, fast forward to 1970 and catch some video of Miles playing at Tanglewood. Quote
Guy Berger Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I listened to this performance again recently (I have it in ROIO form) and found Miles's playing to be underwhelming and unremarkable. Quote
