I'm on a Duke kick (in a sentimental mood?) and pulled this out for the first time in years.  I may have only listened to it once or twice before.

Like it. Do you know the 2 big band volumes from the Aurex labels?

 

Is that the material on Twins I and II? If so, yes. This era also well-captured on that Resonance CD that came out a couple years back.

Miles Davis "Milestones" Mobile Fidelity SACD

This is such a brilliant, timeless album. Ultimate bebop!

Disc 1: I may never find the later Never No Lament compilation for a good price, but this was 5 or 6 bucks well spent, to say the least.

Disc 9 & 10  -   Jazz at The Philharmonic (Carnegie Hall1953) with Roy Eldridge, Charlie Shavers, Ben Webster, Flip Phillips, Benny Carter , Willie Smith, Bill Harris, Lester Young, Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, J.C. Heard, Gene Krupa

[jazzbo]

"Marty Krystall Plays Herbie Nichols." This is a fun session, recorded direct to two track. Bass drum could have been tamed a bit and piano could have been a bit more present, but Marty's three horns are well-presented and the violin sounds great on the tracks that it appears. Spirited playing.

"Milestones" actually was the first tune of so called "jazz", that I liked when I was a kid. It seems that before hearing milestones I thought "jazz" is something like Dixieland, and when I heard that "cool sounds" I knew I must start to get to know as much is possible about that music.

And comparing "Milestones" with "Aghartha", well I liked "Agharta" too, but I didn´t understand well what the older guys said about "the old Miles and the new Miles (sic!)". They were referring to what Miles played after 1970, but I thought if they say the old and the new one it is about two persons, who coincidentially have the same name.

And so I thought then, that "Milestones" is the "Old Miles" playing "Old Time Jazz", and "Aghartha" is another person also "Miles Davis" who plays "Modern Jazz". So I thought, that jazz from the 50´s, 60´s is "oldtime" and was quite astonished when I learned that "oldtime" is the Kind of jazz I still don´t like so much (Dixieland etc.)…...
