Miles Davis – My Funny Valentine - Miles Davis In Concert - 1965 Jazz - GAIN 2™ Ultra Analog Mobile Fidelity Audiophile - Numbered Edition - Sealed 180 Grm LP

 

 

''Miles Davis' My Funny Valentine marks several historic turning points. For Davis, the live album represents the final time on record he'd perform standards rather than original compositions. It also stands as one of the last documents made by the same band that created Seven Steps to Heaven. As such, the work teems with bebop melodicism yet steers clear of Davis' oft-controversial avant-garde leanings. Most significantly, however, the set captures the ballads performed at a benefit concert from New York's then-new Philharmonic Hall just months after President Kennedy's assassination. Tapping into a seemingly divine inspiration, Davis never sounded so elegant or poetic.' (MoFi)

Boasting gorgeous sound pressed on 180g LP at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's choice reissue of the trumpeters scintillating work bookends the labels release of Four & More from the same show and features similar enhancements relating to depth, presence, dynamics, clarity, and ambience. Presented in reference-standard fidelity, the record boasts balances, tonalities, and airiness that duplicate the experience of witnessing live jazz in an acoustically ideal hall. The images of each individual instrument, the decay of the notes, the inner reaches of the piano, and symmetry of the horns all are rendered with palpable detail. This is the very definition of reach-out-and-touch-it realism.' (ElusiveDisc)
