Whats on your turntable tonight?

Actually, KOB, Sketches, and Bag's Groove aren't much like each other either, and that's a defining aspect of Miles' body of work overall. Neither would I consider BOTC to be particularly similar to any of the above for that matter. I'm not much of one for the electric material from In A Silent Way going forward, but briefly would recommend the titles Miles Ahead, Cookin', and E.S.P. if you don't have any of them already. Each one of those also represents a different period and group, with Miles Ahead being more like Sketches, Cookin' more like Bag's Groove, and E.S.P. representing the post-KOB, pre-Bitches Brew acoustic Miles. Check out Sdcampbell's posts on this general subject for a detailed examination.

Thanks gents! I have a coupla more titles on my shopping list. KOB and Sketches really get it done for me, so I am likely to stick with that style. I guess it's the pre-electric acoustic Miles I am after...

RR recording(Rm-1005) of Gershwin- An American in Paris..Leonard Slatkin & St.Louis Symp....light and easy with exceptional soundstaging and wonderful full bass.

Next up is Classical Records(LSC 2298) Borodin..Symphony No.2
Rimsky-Korsakoff...Capriccio Espagnole March from "Tsar Saltan" LSO. Very nicely done.

Phoebe Snow(self titled) Shelter records SR2109. Love that Harpo's Blues and Poetry Man.

Ending with: Allison Krauss + Union Station Rounder/Diverse 2001...Great stuff indeed!

I just upgraded all my IC's to RSA Poiema! what a sweet, dynamic IC with the best bass Ive yet heard from the Aries2/JMW10/ ZYX FS

"Gershwin- An American in Paris..Leonard Slatkin" Marvelous recording! Another great example of the exceptional work done by the Aubort/Nickrenz team for Vanguard and Nonesuch. These Vanguard recordings that were reissued by Reference Recordings are well worth seeking out. Agree with Ken completely.

Donald Byrd "Byrd's eye view" Transition TRLP-4

Then maybe a little Hank Mobley ... maybe it's time to hear 1568 again.
