As all my school and college buddys we had bemoaned Miles´5 year hiatus and I still can feel the exite we were in when there were rumours that Miles had returned into a recording studio and probably would tour again. This is really a fine record. I like it much more than the more famous Warner Brother stuff like "Tutu" since this is still a lot of "jazz" in it. It´s a working band and they really are together and Miles who was rumoured to have lost his chops, really plays some fine trumpet here, and more than we would have expected. And he even played a swing tune "Ursula"....... It got a fair bit of flack at the time it was issued but I like it too. Maybe expectations were ridiculously high. ’Ursula’ was dedicated to Miles’ German-born muse of the time; she attended some of the studio sessions I believe. Quote

So many famous tenorsaxophonists did their obligatory Bossa Nova Album in the first half of the 60´s. Also on Blue Note: Charlie Rouse did his only Album "Bossa Nova Bacchanal" which is a lesser known Album...... Edited March 12, 2020 by Gheorghe Quote
JSngry Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Posted March 12, 2020 Seems pretty much essential listening for those so inclined, especially the earliest tracks. Quote

Of course, the band playing so freaking together in every way helps that along, but yeah, that's a good record to listen to! Quote

The right collection of NY studio cats of that era on the right day could really do it. Esprit de corps. Quote
