Title: the thing that came from the vaults
Product review: I would have loved to get a new Miles Davis recording from this my favorite MD period.... There is a reason why Columbia kept this in the vaults for 40 years.On the first cut, "If I were a bell" , Miles Davis is WAY off mike, the drummer and the background talking are louder than he is! Like he was playing into a dead mike! Coltrane trys to see how many abrasive, too fast notes he can jam into each measure. Tempos are too fast.This was a press conference to "Introduce" the group to the press. A party. The sextet went through the motions.Get "Round Midnight" instead. Recording is bright and details etched.A weak two stars for performance, zero stars for recording quality.
