From the July Issue of BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE:
Miles Davis- Live in Europe 1969, The bootleg series vol 2
Performance got 5 stars, the recording 4 stars. This is the last recording before Bitches Brew. Reviewer says it was a 'road test' for the bitches brew music.
Holland, shorter, dejohnette and corea on board.
Mixed reviews on amazon. Sound quality the main problem. But it does say 'bootleg'.
From the Orchestral Section:
Ellington - Black, Brown and Beige Suite, Harlem, three Black kings Ballet, the River, Take the A Train.
Performed by the Buffalo Philharmonic - Falletta.
$10 on Amazon with great reviews on Amazon and BBC.
4-star performance and 5-star recording. Naxos.
I think I'll give this one a try.
Excerpt:
Asked if his concert works were really 'Jazz', Ellington retorted,"I don't see how this thing called Jazz takes precedence over me." hahahahahha, messing with the wrong guy! He recognized two genres, good and bad.
Cheers
