Miles Davis Sonny Stitt
This is a lively performance with Sonny Stitt fully engaged. He was one of many to pass through the sax chair, Coltrane, Mobley, George Coleman, Shorter, Fortune, Liebman and he holds his own from this list. These recordings have been available on bootleg vinyl and CD. This is an excerpt from a much longer concert. They could have chosen longer and more complicated tunes for the DSD. The sound is good, the band is good and there is plenty to enjoy here.
High energy, raw and raucous - nicely captured
This is a high energy, raw and raucous session. The recording has great impact, and a moderate adjustment downward of my volume control was needed to prevent my speakers from being over driven in places by the huge amount of energy from trumpet and saxophone that is captured here. Even with the slightly lower volume setting, I felt almost present in front of the stage. Overall, this recording is a DEFINITE THUMBS UP. And the interplay of Davis and Stitt as they improvise in, out and around each other, is just a great musical experience. Why just four stars? A very slight lack of transparency through the midrange. But, it doesn't distract from greatly enjoying this album.
