Nice! I was in Boston around then - made a few great tapes myself!

Arguably one of Miles’ most underrated groups. Saw them at KIX - life memories

Long time GG fan but don’t know this one!

One of Lenny’s last recordings I think. He was actually breaking some new ground before he died! πŸ˜”

It’s not everyone that can appreciate the playing over the recording quality. My favorite conductor is Furtwangler πŸ˜†

Yes - a favorite album ! I just recently added Besame Mucho - as a waltz 😁- to my gig book for next week! A fun different way to play it.

I saw this band live at a small club in Boston. On fire.

I listened to this like 3 times in a row in the car the other day. Last time I did that was Sinatra β€œThe Way You Look Tonight” πŸ˜†

Love For Sale - just a β€œwarmup”, not even released on the initial album - IMO one of the greatest tracks ever!

Great album!

I agree w you but why you have to tag Wes Montgomery? πŸ™„

I love Jackie! Although some alto players can’t handle his intonation… πŸ™„πŸ˜†

I saw Mel w Joe Lovano and Kenny Werner one time. More to him than most people knew!

You got me on this one! Will check him out further.

Yes! Great under the radar KB - and killer band!

Bob Moses told me back in the 80’s - β€œFuze, man!”

Yes I have that - they really did some serious fixing from the original!

Maybe Miles’ most underrated band!

A great album. But as time has gone by, I prefer some of his later solo albums like this - more seasoned, and much better recorded! (On virtuoso the amp broke down)

Dave I get all your comments - except this one. Remember- most of the β€œAmerican Songbook” standards in the 50’s WERE pop tunes - Miles etc, β€œdoing covers of pop tunes”!

Nothing new about that - Miles and his alumni were already doing it for 60 years! But nothing wrong with giving us a periodic reminder ❀️

It’s a GREAT album. I like Art but a prime example of Miles 56 Rhythm section stretching out w no boss! And some different tunes! Listened to this countless times!
