Well, "Miles in France 1963 & 1964 The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8" (cd set) arrived from cdjapan.co.jp today--I think, like the last one, it is really the same as the US version with a Japanese wrap around with track llsting etc. in Japanese and a separate Japanese text booklet outside the slipcase. It's a very slim and trim packaging, different size than the first six volumes. But hell. . . Lucy is taking a nap and I'm spinning disc 1, the first concert in Antibes which is previously not officially issued, and the sound is pretty darned good. The playing burns.

An oddball release I picked up from DG some time ago and really enjoy for some reason. Lee Pan-Geun and Korea Jazz Quintet '78 Play Arirang and other assorted classics.

And some Japanese releases

[JSngry]

Self-explanatory.

Excellent ....

Some of the best Gordon I had ever heard. 

I remember the year 1981 when we all waited for this album to be released. 

It´s a great all star album with best straight ahead music.

Needed some time with this classic but convinced me eventually.

Another cold morning. I’m looking forward to a dinner out with my lovely wife and the older of my two younger brothers and my sister-in-law (my favorite of six, don’t tell the others). Fiona the dachshund is about to settle in for her first nap of the day and I’m ready to enjoy a few hours with the amazing sounding system.

“Miles in France 1963 & 1964 The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8” disc 2

This disc is mainly the previously released “Miles Davis In Europe” – a favorite since the 'Seventies. As the second night in Antibes '63 it is more fiery and Tony Williams is proving to the world that he is a force that will present to the world a new way to drum. And George Colemen is ready to show Europe what he can do.
