Milan 1964 (2007)

Great Show- Bad Quality

The Miles Davis Quintet plays
a really good show on this DVD-
the music is fantastic!

But the image quality is horrible.
This was taken from a vintage TV broadcast,
and not much has been done to fix it up.

The picture is watchable-
but at times it looks fuzzy and compressed,
with little pixels that make it look like
it was downloaded off the internet!

If Miles Davis wasn't on this disc
I would have only given it one star.

Horrible Image Quality!!!

Buyer Beware!!! The image quality of this DVD is so bad that it is almost impossible to watch!!! It looks like a 10th generation copy. It pixilated so badly that it is not viewable!!! May 2, 2008

Prime time Era Miles

this was Miles Davis with Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, wayne Shorter and Ron Carter. Prime time Miles Davis and the band was on Point. Miles was so Productive and Prolific during this particular time period. hard to believe this is the same man who only a few years later would go fully into electric fusion and change his whole musical direction. but this time period captures another very important time period in his creativity.

Miles Second Quintet 1964

This is the wonderful 1960s quintet with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. It was a TV show and is in very good shape soundwise. It's an ideal complement to the Jazz Icons series that Reelin' In The Years has release. This is the new Quintet with the old repertoire. There is a European Tour 1965 TV show from the same source but a year later with the new repertoire. October 8, 2007
