Going further into this new release.

I'm just starting to listen to this set. This set poses a problem for Miles Davis fans. It's unlike the other releases in the series. I find it fascinating. I can already say that one should follow one's instincts about purchasing this set. If you think that it's a collection of false starts, incomplete takes, and studio talk, and that you won't listen to this often enough to justify the purchase, well, that is what this is. I will say that for me the studio chatter, the starts and stops, the incomplete takes all contribute to a bit of education about the Quintet, Miles and Teo, how recordings were made in that studio at that time, how Miles leads a band in the shaping of an arrangement. . . and more. I can see why many would not want to spin this too many times. But I think I'll spin it often enough. Listening here by myself I can already think of five people I know that I would like to sit and listen to this with and exchange impressions and thoughts. And I will be happy to listen to this more times by myself (next run through I'll probably do on headphones).
Sound is exceptionally good imo.
