Miles Davis

[normchurch]

I have a 1991 CD of Miles "round midnight" which has no details of personnel or dates. It originates, I think, from France. Tracks Are Walkin', Autumn Leaves, So What, Round Midnight and All of You. Can anyone add anything to this?

If you scroll down on this link, other versions are listed and details can be found - maybe yours is amongst them.

This sounds like it but from 1993

Further research reveals that this compilation disc... Does not include any details of personnel or original recordings. It is a quintet of trumpet, saxophone, piano, double bass and drums with audience applause in places. Given that timings match to within a few seconds, it is very likely to be yet another reworking of material included in "Miles Davis - 1960/61"

In which case the credits here might be relevant:

Hi normchurch - I write for the leading jazz publications in the UK and the USA, and such is the reverence in which Miles is held in the jazz community, that it is almost mandatory, when interviewing any musician who worked with him, to tell stories about what he was like.

I have talked with half a dozen, and the consensus is that, as a musician, Miles was giving, helpful, encouraging, and keen to get the best out of everyone for his music. As a person … that's a slightly different story!

But genius is allowed to be a little difficult - just on the days with a 'y' in them!!!
