For me, Bill Evans "Waltz for Debby" is my go to live recording. Running a close second is the Dragon Records recording of Miles Davis Live in Stockholm 1960" BTW there is a new remastered version of Waltz on Craft, which is supposed to be the definitive version. It will be my third copy, so I am anxious to hear it when it arrives next week. |
"Waltz for Debbie" is an old favorite of mine, as well. The Craft release is vinyl? Not sure why but I've never developed a taste for Coltrane's playing with Miles. I much prefer the next Miles quintet, either with George Coleman or W. Shorter on sax. "At the Five Spot" for more live E. Dolphy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlWCUN2EdNc He also played live on occasion with Coltrane. |
@stuartk yes, the new version is on vinyl and the review I read suggested it was superior to the 45 version in the Riverside box set (which I own and love.) Here's a link to the review: https://trackingangle.com/music/the-best-sounding-waltz-for-debby-ever |
