Recently, while walking thru town, I heard coming from someoneâs house, a rendition of Round Midnight, unmistakably played by Miles Davis and accompanied only by piano; no other instruments.
Does anyone know this version? What album? @lonson? (our Miles expert in residence)?
Ron, I canât think of a version that is just trumpet and piano, though there are live versions where he may play with just piano accompanying him for the first portion of the performance, for example Newport '55 and Newport '58 I think, among others. (Iâm not able to play things right now to check. . . . My boss (Lucy my wife) has other plans for my time right now. . . )
Hereâs '55 where Monk and Miles are the focus for a good portion. This was the performance that won Miles a âcomeback vibeâ and a contract with Columbia.
It might have been from the Live in Europe 1967 The Bootleg Series Vol. 1 3CD set [2011]. There is a version of Round Midnight on each CD and they all start out with just Miles and Herbie. A couple of them the rest of the band doesnât come in for at least 2 minutes if memory serves.
Thanks Lon. I knew youâd be the oneâŚ
I listened long enough to start to worry about looking suspicious outside this house.
I surely didnât hear cymbals or applause. I donât think it was live.
Thanks!
Interesting. I donât know of a studio version that way. May exist though. . . but itâs not one Iâm familiar with.
brumtech makes a good suggestion too. Sometimes you wonât hear any applause til the performance ends, especially in Europe or Japan. And the tune was often performed with a long rubato piano and trumpet beginning.
Do any body know any mono digital remastering before the 90âs?
ps.what is the order of the tracks, it seems freddie freeloader was first then so what?
I always thought that the '97 CD (which I had) and the 2002 SACD were transferred from the same Master. The SACD sounds the best to my ears. As I mentioned in an earlier post. Strange thing. Isnât the 1992 Gold SBM CD & 1997 CD the same except for bonus tracks. Both are speed corrected.
In re-reading the liner notes from the 1997 SBM remastering, it mentions that the earlier gold Mastersound edition does have the corrected speed. The 1997 notes does not mention what machine was used in retrieving information from the original matster for the gold Mastersound edition, but touts how âgreatâ this 1997 edition is because an old tube 3-track Presto machine was used, similar to when originally recorded.
What i know the Gold Long box was remastered from the 3 tracks (is not really stereo) master tape to a digital âstuffâ maybe a computer, and the all tube 1997 cd was remastered mixing it from a reel to reel that was transfered from the original master tape. So the 1992 was a straight transfers whitout mixing and Whit not the reel to reel made by Wilder;
Ps. I know that the back up 3 master tape had not the speed issue, like the 2 mono master track, so my question is how many original master tapes do exist in the Sony vault?
Ps. 2 so i dont know if the same master tape was used for both the 92 or 97 cd, i maybe remenber that a master tape was Møre bad in quality than the other?
Ps.3 it may exist still some stereo or mono copy of the original master in tape or vinyl stamper(i belive is call mother) some vault somewere in the world!
Fair enough. Now where does that put the 2002 Sony SACD source from (the same '97 Tube Transfer) ? I have no clue but the SACD better than the rest of them to my ears.
I guess it is from the sony dsd remastering, done in 3 channels, by Wilder? i think he did a earlier dsd transfer in 1992 that you find in acoustic sound for download and the sony 3 channel dsd for sacd.
Perhaps I missed it somewhere in this thread, but where would the 1994 Master Sound SBM Gold CD CK64403 fit in, from a sound quality/remastering perspective? Is it just a packaging difference from the 1993 Long Box? Having read this thread, I had to go dig out my version and this is what I have. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/474223?ev=rb
The 1994 is known to have the corrected speed, but information on the remastering process is hard to find.
Thank you. Considering it follows the Long Box issued a year before and otherwise appears to be physically identical that I can tell, I was just wondering if it was just a more distribution friendly packaging version of the same disc?
Of the digital versions, I prefer the 2010 high resolution. I had high hopes for the Mobile Fidelity SACD but I think itâs a tad bright and doesnât have the depth that the conventional hirez download does.
According to the Master Sound long box liner notes (copyright 1992 Sony Music Entertainment, Inc.), âAccording to Two Macero, the speed change was not intentional, and it is corrected here for the first time, using the safety tapes.â My long box gold CD, SBM, sounds great through the PWT and DS DAC.
I dont listen to vinyl anymore and i had get a better dac;
and today i did some comparition again;
and the best version in digial for me is the MONO 24 bit 192 khz hdtrack version:
the drumm the piano sound so great, and the saxophone sound even bettter than the mfsl sacd
ps. which digital 2010 version you talk about it?
