MoFi has been on an absolute tear over the last few years with his mastering of the Miles Davis catalogue. He must have been to the crossroads and done his own deal. His work on preserving the art of Miles Davis in particular would be highly deserving of a Congressional Medal of Honour nomination. Spacious, warm, detailed and organic sounding. The soundstage is beautifully rendered with the various players well separated and defined in space. but you won't be disappointed with this one.-HRreview
Miles Davis’ My Funny Valentine marks several historic turning points. For Davis, the live album represents the final time on record he’d perform standards rather than original compositions. It also stands as one of the last documents made by the same band that created Seven Steps of Heaven. As such, the work teems with bebop melodicism yet steers clear of Davis’ oft-controversial avant-garde leanings. Most significantly, however, the set captures the ballads performed at a benefit concert from New York’s then-new Philharmonic Hall just months after President Kennedy’s assassination. Tapping into a seemingly divine inspiration, Davis never sounded so elegant or poetic
