Description
Mastered by Kevin Gray from the Original Master Tapes on 180 Gram Vinyl & Pressed at RTI!
Miles Davis' two night stand at The Blackhawk in San Francisco marked a watershed in jazz history, a seminal event transforming the American musical landscape. Davis had never been recorded live in a club with his combo and the performances over the course of two sets a night on April 21 and 22, 1961 more than justify the legend. The New York Times, in its review of the Columbia Records release of the complete Blackhawk shows, called the music "the gold standard for straight-ahead, postwar jazz rhythm".
Impex Records is proud to present a performance unequaled, a recording unparalleled and the must-have audiophile release of this or any other year.
"Friday and Saturday Nights in Person at The Blackhawk, San Francisco,everyone's second favorite small club live engagement (the first being Bill Evans at The Village Vanguard) finally gets the AAA 180g vinyl treatment with this double LP set from IMPEX… this is a superb sounding reissue that every Miles fan should own. It's as close to hearing Miles Davis play live in a small club as you're ever going to hear." – Michael Fremer, www.analogplanet.com. Music 9/10, Sound 9/10
