GA Russell Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I was hoping for a 1954 set - IMO, a classic period for Miles... Chuck, now it's my turn to agree with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now, fifteen years later, Craft has announced that it will follow up on Chuck's wishes, and release the Miles '54 box. 2 CDs $24.98 https://www.amazon.com/Miles-54-Prestige-Recordings-CD/dp/B0D8C343CW/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 (edited) In the blurb about the recordings they declare Miles is a "saxophone legend"!! They also mistakenly list Mingus in the personnel. Edited August 27 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Most important to me: do they include the dialogue between Miles and Monk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe, FWIW, it is included in the Monk Complete Prestige box. https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Prestige-Recordings-Thelonious-Monk/dp/B00004UETR/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Interestingly it wasn't on the Complete Prestige Miles set. Was that session all on one cd on the Monk set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I've made my own version on one cd burning it from the Miles box and the Modern Jazz Giants cd. I always thought Concord would release one but I guess now it will never happen.

Haven't listened in a while, so not certain all the dialogue is included. 21 seconds of banter before take 1 of The Man I Love. Total time 8:28.

I know the name Miles is golden, but wonder about other stuff on the shelf. Glad that Craft is doing some CDs and not just vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
