Does anyone know if they are going to include any of the second Japanese concert with Sam Rivers? I'd love to hear that.

Jerry, check this thread for a detailed discography:

New Miles box: Seven Steps To Heaven, early 60s "transitional" period

[bertrand]

Will most of this material be out on separate CDs as they usually are? 4 and 5 would be a 2-CD set, and 6 and 7 could be available each on their own. 1-3 might be tricky; they would probably have to leave out some tracks from Seven Steps, and make Europe a 2-CD set.

I really don't like the boxes (price and packaging). I really am mostly interested in Tokyo and Berlin, and if they come out as stand-alone CDs, I could get 'em at Tower or Borders' for $8-$9. I would consider the others later. I don't need every rehearsal take out there. I would be upset if the extra track from Berlin is AWOL, however - it should not have to be.

Doesn't look as if we have any "insiders" here!

Maybe you should post this at audioasylum.com and see if Greg has heard anything from "indno" Belden about these being released on cd (but ask first about SACD release to get his attention!)

Ouch!

Jerry, I don't think they are including the second Sam Rivers concert, which is too bad... only the MILES IN TOKYO material.

Be sure to throw in a provocative comment about Middle East politics as well...

My source is sticking with "Fall of 2004" and hasn't heard otherwise.

FWIW.

[jazzbo]

I'm firmly aligning my hopes behind your source. -_-
