“Miles Davis in Europe” Sony Blu-Spec CD Japan.

This is one of the releases of this material with unedited performances and includes the great “I Thought about You” that was not on the original LP. (Covers for this release always say stereo, there were fake stereo LP versions but most every cd reissue is the original mono).

Miles in Europe still remains my favourite "second quintet" record. Until then I had heard only one or two albums from the "first quintet" and I bought this one "Miles in Europe" with another cover over here. It was very cheap, only 70 shillingi, less than the half price for a regular LP back then 5 decades ago. Yes, "I Tought About You" was not on it. But I was overwhelmed  by the power of Tony Williams and the fresher sound of Herbie, other than Garland who sure is very nice. I don´t know how often I spinned that fast versions of "Walkin" and "Milestones", much more exiting to me than the original Prestige sessions. 

And imagine: Once during that time (I was maybe 16 years old) I stayed at the place of my sister and listened to it loud in my "kid-room" and my sister just had called a craftman to fix something in the house and later told me that this guy had shouted with enthusiasm "great music, wonderful !!!!!". Those were great times. Jazz was much more popular then....

An outstanding record by a terrific band.

Music from what was left of Miles' orb from the time when it was not clear if he had an orb at all. No overt MilesMusic (except the melody of the title cut), but a few things sound like they were coming from there, and maybe could have gone there, had there been a there for them to go.

all in all, not a great record, but a good one, and another piece of the electric Miles Diaspora Story.

Donald Byrd, Live at the Jazz Workshop, Boston, September 4, 1973

Tania Maria, "Olha Quem Chega"

Her second album, featuring her vocals with orchestra, very different from her later work.

Followed by

The Duke Ellington Orchestra (conducted by Mercer Ellington) "Only God Can Make a Tree" Music Masters cd

This one has had to grow on me over the years, but it has. Pretty nice cd to play a bit louder than usual.
