U.S.A. June 29, 1985 performance quality: A-, nice music recording quality: B to B+ pretty good for an outdoors jazz show. lineage unknown (CD trade) but sounds clean, possibly from a master, definitely an aud. recording as some talking can be heard in some parts, not enough to ruin it though. runtime: 79:54 1: (fades in, and has a few brief flaws) 13:06 2: 5:51 3: 14:11 4: 16:03 5: 16:40 6: 13:38 7: closing stage announcements :23 comments: a search on etree showed alot of Miles listings for 85, but no info at all on this which isn't even listed. I find that shocking, also means another setlistless Miles show, but unlike the July 12, 82 show, this one is tracked. on the west coast of the U.S. the big jazz gig is Monterey (unlike the Pop Fest it still carries on) and in the east coast it's the Newport Jazz Fest, more recently known as Kool (as in the cigarette, Newport is a cigarette brand too but also a R.I. resort city for even longer) jazz festival and any big jazz festival in 1985 had to get a good miles show to be complete. This was a pretty nice show and a pretty good band. they played Montreal Jazz Fest the day before this, but I'm pretty sure this is not that show. (6/22 they were in New Haven). this festival used to be in Newport, but it's much too small a town for such an enormous event and has been held in a few different locations since then. some of the music is "kool jazz" but the average temperature is around 90 degrees F. (or warmer). This set has some "kool jazz", some funky stuff and plenty of Miles jazz (he is his own category and he is truly legendary). do not sell this recording. trade freely, losslessly and gaplessly. |
