Miles Davis Newbe Question

Do you have "Charley Parker With Strings", it's timeless. "Bebop" is kind of a mood thing, and while it illustrates the virtuosity of "Bird" it came and it went.

That album is a treasure to me as well

Yes, and the one I mentioned is his whole (most anyway) collection.

Charlie Parker is a freakishly good player, whose 'licks', 'phrasings' are still copied and emulated some 50 odd years later.

You'd like my collection Orpheus10.

CK,
Some Miles Davis you`d probably enjoy, "Some Day My Prince Will Come","Sketches of Spain", "Miles Ahead" and "Seven Steps to Heaven".
Sarah Vaughan`s "Embracable You" features simply excellent Clifford Brown trumpet at its best."Clifford Brown with Strings" is also first rate ballad trumpet playing.
Best Regards,

Charles 1 dad,

'You go to my head', from the Complete Blue Note and Pacific Jazz recordings...marvelous.
Thank goodness all that beautiful work was captured.
I could only wish that the great Winston Ma of First Impressions Music, would get hold of these and 'remaster ' the whole lot, using his 'magic'.

Wow...what a thought!
