2014 numbered limited edition Mobile Fidelity hybrid SACD reissue of the historic 1964 live recording. For Miles this 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 recorded the Seven Steps to Heaven album.

Great transfer, HORRIBLE OMISSION
This is god-like music and the audio from the SACD format beats the conventional CD (and vinyl, IMO) by light years. However, be aware that Mobile Fidelity cut the 1:40 introduction by Mort Fega who was emceeing the concert. You will not hear the instruments warming up, you won't hear the rustle and anticipation of the crowd, you won't hear Mort's energetic introduction of each band member. Also edited out of this SACD disc is the 1:43 of the break song, The Theme, and Fega's comments as the band leaves the stage. If you have grown up on this album (and Four and More from the same concert) you will realize how much Fega's comments lend to the excitement and realism of this concert. It's a sin to omit them and a horrible omission. Mobile Fidelity says "that due to the length of the music Mort Fega's comments are omitted." I just don't buy this explanation. The total music on this SACD is 61:13. There is plenty enough recording space on this SACD to accommodate another 1:40 + 1:43.However, for those wishing for the music only then go ahead. The transfer by Mobile Fidelity in this SACD format is truly amazing. But you will be missing the true ambiance and the "you are there" feeling of this remarkable live concert.

Lyrisch wirkender Miles in Concert
Die MFSL SACD klingt anspringend, sehr direkt und klar umrissen. Trotz Live sind die Instrumente klarhörbar und umrissen. Schön. Miles klingt etwas nachdenklich, eher lyrisch, mit eingängigen Melodien.Bei diesem Konzert wäre ich gerne zugegen gewesen, so aber bleibt mir die wirklich gut klingende SACDvon MFSL. Zu Empfehlen.
