Me too - around the same time - bought the two albums. Listened to the Coltrane more than the Stitt, but I must fix that now. Wonderful music (is it necessary to say that?)

Thousands more people HAVE to hear this music!!!

Stitt sounds great in this perfect setting.

Thanks for uploading it!

Nada en el mundo! NADA ni el dinero, ni los viajes, ni las drogas, ni el alcohol, n la fiestas, te van a dar la FELICIDAD auténtica que te da Dios!

マイナスの🎺ミュート奏法は、圧巻。素晴らしい🤩✌️

THANK YOU

What a quintet!!! Sonny, Wynton, Paul, Jimmy and Miles! The only thing missing is the video...

참 좋습니다!

Wow! Sonny Stitt had a lot to say, and smoothly.

Great musicman❤👏👏👏👏

Wynton Kelly's comping wow. Thats all I will say

Miles.

Extraordinaire

I got goose bumps and the chills listening to this as I wait for my Bus home. Can someone tell me who's the Sax Player please ? I'm a new Miles Davis fan. I know he played with the best musicians of his day.

The saxophonist is Sonny Stitt. Welcome to the world of Miles Davis. There's a lot to discover. :)

Yes Nancy, it's Sonny Stitt, not much heard of (excuse my ignorance?) outside of this context - clearly more acceptable of Miles' instructions than Coltrane was in spring 1960!

A fair few Miles Davis fans (not the obsessives, but almost everyone else) would be thrown in a blindfold test! Sonny Stitt recorded a huge amount but you rarely see his albums these days. His time with Miles was short. He's pretty much forgotten today, except amongst die-hard jazz fans, and it's sad because he was a great player. Hope you're still getting goosebumps!

Sonny Stitt was a giant, close to Bird on alto, and a favorite of Trane on tenor. He played with everyone from Dizzy to Bud Powell to Rollins, Getz, and many more. Check out his albums, which there are many of. "Personal Appearance" is a particular fave.

Dragony：Night owl rule.Chill on Twitter. See the Mile stone and go Miles Ahead and see the Mile smile again and this video Counting sheep. Any other good ideas?

How come it's not Coltrane on ts? (And incidentally, love Sonny's playing here)

Trane left after the European tour of March-April 1960 and only did that tour begrudgingly after Miles pleaded with him. He had already recorded Giant Steps and Coltrane Jazz, his first two Atlantic LPs, and was impatient to form his own group. Miles had wanted Jimmy Heath as Trane's replacement but he was on parole after a drugs bust and wasn't allowed to travel, and his second choice, Wayne Shorter, was still with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Stitt joined the group in June 1960 and played through to this European tour. When Miles returned to New York in October he used Heath, then Stitt returned for a few dates in November and December. By the final weeks of the year he had been replaced by Hank Mobley.

@@dimitrikorsakov2570 Yes, mine too. Apparently he was in a bad mood the whole tour. I think that contributes to the mood of his playing, where he's deliberately pushing things to extremes. He's certainly much more experimental on that tour than he was being on records at the time.

@@MilestonesArchive He certainly seemed to be thumbing his nose at the audience at times. They'd get restless with his long, unconventional solos and start booing or whistling and he'd just keep going. That version of Bye Bye Blackbird is amazing, like a little mini drama. They get pissed off at him, he keeps going and he wins them over in the end.

@@dimitrikorsakov2570 Yes, particularly on the the Paris gig. Half jeering, half cheering. You can literally hear post-war jazz being wrenched into rival camps. It's very exciting to hear, even now.

Is it just me, or does Cobb sound impatient on this one?

How do you mean, rushing? Cobb sounds pretty relaxed and typically swingin' though perhaps less interactive with the soloists to my ears.
