“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).

Best bet on CD is probably the Grachan Moncur III Mosaic Select.

Barney Wilen "Le Ca" Venus cd

I have two other versions of this one, my favorite Barney Wilen--you can sense his joy and excitement of recording at Rudy Van Gelder's studio, or so I imagine. Barney gets a beautiful sound out of soprano, tenor and baritone and Rudy captured it very very well. Great rhythm section too!

Ah, yes, I thought about it (saw it a few months ago in used CD store here in Montreal) but as I already had most of Moncur's Blue Note output... Wonder why it hasn't been reissued as a single CD, it certainly would have its takers.

“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....
