'64 Miles Davis Quintet My Funny Valentine live. One of the most stunningly beautiful live jazz recordings of the 1960s. Miles and co. (esp drummer Tony Williams) are breaking out of the more confined song forms of the 50's but are still playing the classic Quintet repertoire. Miles' treatment of the melody is deep, introspective, and will make you weep at times and laugh out loud at others. When the tempo kicks up and Ron Carter comes in for the turnaround....watch out, you may jump out of your chair and cheer. I have the complete concert on a double CD set called the "Complete Concert", but the material was originally released on two separate albums, "My Funny Valentine" had all the ballads and med tempo stuff and "Four and More" had the burners. If you have not heard this please do yourself a favor and check it out.
