Great jumpin' Metuzaleh!!! What a mother lode! Muchas gracias, amigo!
ReplyDeleteHi pmac.
DeleteEnjoy my friend.
Cheers.
Thanks so much BB, this is a truly generous, monumental share. And as mentioned recently, this will complete my planned deep dive into the music of Miles Davis. I never did pick up this boxset back in the day - in fact, I don't recall my local Virgin Megastore ever stocking it, alongside the more frequently seen Miles boxsets. And in the intervening years, it's proved elusive to find online, but now thanks to you....!
ReplyDeleteNot that I would have been tempted to buy it back in the day.... When I first got into Miles in the late 90's, there was this notion there was little to interest after the retirement years, that you were best to stay away from the era that began with The Man With the Horn, and for years, my Miles collection came to a complete full stop with Pangaea. But a few years ago I chanced upon Miles' 1991 film Dingo (in which he essentially plays himself) and loved it, and it opened up the 1980s and beyond. And I've been enjoying this era ever since. So, it's very exciting to finally have the opportunity to explore Montreux set, so once again, a big, big thank-you !!
Hi Wes,
DeleteAs promised. It's a wonderful document and whichever era of miles catalog anyone listens to will deliver moments of outstanding quality, thought and inspiration.
Enjoy the journey through this set.
Cheers.
