1973 Japanese re-issue on CBS/Sony's "Jazz 1100" series of the 1964 split live album recorded with recordings from 1958 and 1963 featuring John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly and Bill Evans. With insert.

condition (record/cover): NM / EX (light foxing on back)

Insert and obi included.

Two sets, five years apart, and one of the more inspired pieces of Columbia repackaging. Side one is Miles Davis at Newport in 1958 with the sextet at its absolute peak: John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley in the front line, Bill Evans at the piano, and a version of "Ah-Leu-Cha" taken at a tempo that sounds like a dare. Side two is Thelonious Monk in 1963 with Charlie Rouse, playing the book with that peculiar mixture of stride, dissonance and dead space that nobody has ever successfully imitated. The pairing also nods at the famous 1954 studio session neither man ever fully explained.

Japanese CBS/Sony pressing. Two of the greatest live documents in the Columbia vaults on one record.
