Performance:  Sonics: |
The famous 1964 concert by Miles Davis' quintet at the Lincoln Center (New York) 12 FEB 1964.
The Concert is divided over 2 discs this disk, “My funny Valentine” consisting of the ballads of that evening and the up-tempo pieces were issued as Four & More.
Performance wise I will quote Herbie Hancock: “That was my first time playing at the Philharmonic Hall and that was, like, a big deal, because the new Carnegie Hall was the Philharmonic Hall. Just from the prestige standpoint I really wanted to play good”
Personally I think this album swings, Miles plays brilliant and takes you on a journey and I would buy the record alone for the mid-tempo version of all Blues “WOW”. From a personal perspective I would say one of the greatest Miles Davis live concert recordings.
Make Sure you pick up Four & More to complete the story/journey Miles is taking you.
This “My funny Valentine” SACD remastering is the same as the "The Original Jacket Collection of 2006"
So sonic wise I think this is the best Re-issue out there, even better then the "Seven Steps Complete Columbia Recordings of Miles Davis 1963-64" 7CD box set, which is an older re-master 11.10.2004.
Track list
1. "My Funny Valentine" – 15:02
2. "All of You" – 14:55
3. "Stella by Starlight" – 12:57
4. "All Blues" – 8:56
5. "I Thought About You" – 11:16
The original LP liner notes are on the back of the SACD, the booklet however is in Japanese, so hold on to your Redbook one.
This My Funny Valentine is Part of the October 24, 2007 release
