Miles Davis,Gil Evans/NY,USA 1959 Compile

A CD containing master quality live performances from 1959, when “Kind of Blue” was recorded! More than 50 years have passed since the masterpiece “Kind of Blue”, which shines in jazz history, was released, and a commemorative box was also officially released, but this title focuses on the live performance in 1959, when the same album was recorded. A compilation of many famous performances. Moreover, using a master with little deterioration from treble to bass, it is recorded with the best sound quality ever compared to several types of distributed sound sources. In particular, the Birdland performance on August 25th, where Miles got in trouble with the police, and the live performance at the first Playboy Jazz Festival on August 7th, have only been available in the past with extremely high quality recordings. I’m so happy that I can finally listen to it at an average level. All the sound sources, including those, were only known in fragments on the WEB etc., so it can be called a miracle that they were compiled in a proper form for the first time.
