I came across a deal for Dingo on vinyl for £10.33, seems like a steal compared to what I’ve seen around and delivery is free if you are also in the UK. Thought I’d do the honourable thing and pass it along in case anyone’s looking for a copy! Here’s the link to the deal.

Anyone else find good Miles Davis deals on vinyl recently? Would love to hear about them.

my son independently discovered ‘it never entered my mind’ and loves it. what else should he listen to?

you would have seen his home at Malibu on his interviews or something.

I found it was sold several years ago, but anyway, the wildfires at Malibu reminds me it.

does anyone know something?

i was listenin to Final (Take 1 - Bande originale du film "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud")
when i see that

Hello, recently I stumbled on this album (I know, right?!) and what actually grabbed me was the outtake "Nuit sur les champs Elysees take 2". What sealed the deal for me what that rich drenched in reverb sound. Looking at all the CD versions I'm having a hard time finding a CD that has that specific mix, as it seems the outtakes are the "dry" mix. Can anyone point me in the right direction to what version has the reverb outtakes?

I heard a DJ on KCSM in the Bay Area call it “Solar” as in “SOLE-er,” and it brought me back to Realbook gigs from thirty years ago.

I found this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Jazz/comments/1bsz4w/why_is_miles_solar_pronounced_solar_and_not_solur/

which definitely didn’t resolve the question but confirmed that at least in the past, there was this verbal tradition of calling it “SO-LAR” at gigs.

This kind of thing must have been verbal tradition handed down by jazz station DJs, right? Presumably the artists themselves could actually state the name of the song too, but I’d be a monkey’s uncle before finding footage of Miles doing something so traditional on stage?

This came signed. Can anyone verify if this might be authentic or not?? Thanks in advance.

Looking to purchase my first installment. Thinking of Miles In France: ‘63 & ‘64. To any of you who’ve heard every release: which did you personally find the most satisfying?

I’ve always known this to be in 16-bit for a while. Anyone know when this changed? Did it get remastered?

From the actor's "top ten" things list in The New York Times today (Dec. 22):

My first instrument was a trumpet, and for whatever reason Al Hirt was more my taste. Then when I discovered Miles Davis, I said: "Well, no, that’s the guy." He's the most timeless of all of them.

Hi. I'm interested in what actual trumpets Miles used thoughout the years. I'm sure it changed with eras, but maybe not? I know he liked some Martin trumpets, but what year?

Everyone knows what exact gear most famous guitar players use, some down to the cord and the batteries in effects used. In contrast, it seems that the trumpeteer (and other jazz players) gets left in the dark.

Miles gear deserves more investigation!!

Anyone here have any information?

Anybody know any good Cover bands that do his Electric Period stuff in the New York area? I would absolutely love to hear some of his Electric music live, but I cannot find any shows or bands locally.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Any opinions on the upcoming reissue of Dark Magus by Mobile Fidelity? Kinda excited for it, but wish I knew when!

Does anyone have a favorite/recommended vinyl release of Miles' Live-Evil? I bought the 2021 reissue on blue vinyl recently and have noticed a lot of surface noise. Wish they would reissue the entire Cellar Door sessions

Hi! I'm looking to get in a silent way by miles davis on vinyl, done a lot of research and I've narrowed it down to a few versions. I've heard the 2015 reissue is digitally mastered but still fantastic, and also that all copies from the 70s should be high-quality too. Mofi has been touted by some as the best you can get outside of the original 1969 pressing.

Out of these pressings, which ones would have the best sound quality? -1977 -2015 Sony reissue -Mofi analog master -2008

Any other relevant info or suggestions are appreciated :)

Is there another jazz artist who evolved as much as Miles? Or any artist? And has as much output? Dylan? Coltrane? Leonard Cohen? Talk Talk? (Big evolution not much output?

Has there been anything written about or discussed about Miles' use of heavy echo-reverb starting in the 60s?

It seems to be a definitive characteristic of "late-Miles." I just listened to one of the Plugged Nickel recordings and I was surprised to find it so heavy so early. For sure you can hear the seeds of that on KOB, but I thought that heavier sound came much later.

Thoughts?

At the amazing Guys and Dolls in London’s Bridge Theatre tonight. How had I never realised that Miles’s staple If I Were a Bell was from this musical?
