Miles Davis,John Coltrane/CA,USA 1960 & more

Before Coltrane’s famous six-part European tour, we finally discovered the only live show in which Wes’ younger brother, vibraphonist Buddy Montgomery, participated, and the only super fantastic live show in America in 1960! ! In addition, a rare live performance of Miles and Coltrane whose recording date/location cannot be determined even by Coltrane researchers is also included! ! An incredibly valuable sound source for Miles Davis and John Coltrane fans has been discovered! ! After a long time of 60 years, this miraculous sound source has been unearthed! ! A sextet featuring John Coltrane, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb, and replacing Cannonball with renowned jazz guitar pioneer Wes and bassist Monk’s brother, vibraphonist Buddy Montgomery. This is the “only record” of the organization’s live performance at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium on March 4, 1960! This sound source was probably created by a collector (or a radio broadcasting station) to record the AM radio broadcasts of the time and preserve it by making an acetate disc…Therefore, the current live show is overlapping with light scratches that are typical of acetate discs. However, this work borrows real master tapes directly from acetate discs, and performs the label’s own careful mastering to reduce scratches unique to acetate as much as possible, producing clean and extremely high sound quality at the time. This is the definitive edition that allows you to enjoy the great excavated sound sources of this century without any problems! ! Furthermore, as a coupling, Miles, which appeared on “Unissued 1960-1973” (currently out of print), can only be heard here, and even Coltrane researchers are still unable to determine the recording date/location, and it is said to be the best live performance of this tour. This is a rare live show performed on a super high quality stereo soundboard somewhere in Europe between March and April 1960 (April 10th in Stuttgart?), and this is also a real master with the label’s own careful mastering. The unknown historical sound source plus alpha “An Hour of Bliss”, which is said to be the biggest missing link during the last days of Miles and Coltrane, has been completely recorded in the final definitive version.It is finally making its first appearance live at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium. However, unfortunately, only two songs, “So What” and “On Green Dolphin Street”, were left behind, but their content is so rich that it is a first-time experience for everyone. Miles’ regular group with vibraphone (as a session rather than a group, there is a co-starring with Milt Jackson), and “So What” with this formation, and further cuts in the middle (the important solo of Miles and Coltrane is not affected) ), but the passionate performance lasts for 18 minutes! Starting with the familiar theme from Chambers’ impressive riff, Miles first develops a world full of tension with a small number of notes for 5 minutes, followed by Coltrane’s already impulse with an endless number of notes. The Sheets of Sound has an atmosphere reminiscent of the times, and he delivers an intense solo that lasts nearly 10 minutes, even longer than the lead actor, Miles. I was waiting for the next one! Buddy plays a very cool solo to cool down Coltrane’s fever, but unfortunately it is cut in the middle and ends with the final theme. “So What” was played every time on the European tour after this, so I felt like I was used to hearing it, but the sound was so different just by adding the vibraphone! It’s very fresh and innovative. As expected, this is a masterpiece of sound magician Miles. After all, it is an important sound source as it proves that Miles was always pursuing something new. This is a completely new “So What”! ! The following song, “On Green Dolphin Street,” only includes Miles’s solo from the opening, but Miles’ melancholy and romantic trumpet notes are irresistible! Therefore, this sound source is thought to be the only record of the Miles Sextet with Buddy Montgomery… and the phantom recording that is said to have the best sound and the best performance content during the 1960 European tour recorded as a coupling. The live performance is also amazing. In “So What” with this lineup, which is known as the best version, Miles flew smoothly from the beginning, and as far as Coltrane’s solo, which begins with a phrase that already has the mysterious atmosphere of the late Impulse period, was played here during the European tour. is said to be the best. Also, there are few live shows where Jimmy Cobb’s drum sound, which is extremely underrated compared to Philly Joe, resonates so clearly. The sound is so clear that you can clearly hear how Cobb skillfully modulates the dynamics and inspires the front team, forming the groove of the song! Miles’ mute in the following “Round About Midnight” is also more realistic, and even Coltrane’s obbligato can be heard clearly and clearly without any cloudiness. The bridge in the example is also perfectly determined. This is the power of real master tapes! This is what an overwhelmingly high-quality stereo soundboard is all about!
