Title: My Funny Valentine
Artist: Miles Davis
Catalog: USA Columbia CL 2306 mono issue, original 2-eye label, 1E/2D matrix, Pitman NJ pressing.
Jacket: VG+ only for slight wear on top front center (see pic). Otherwise near mint, especially on the white back panel!! No splits either!!
LP: Visual near mint, spotless vinyl, two light spindle marks on side two.
Notes: Original mono pressing !!! The concert was part of a series of benefits staged at the recently built Philharmonic Hall (now known as David Geffen Hall).
Two albums were assembled from the concert recording. The up-tempo pieces were issued as Four & More, while My Funny Valentine consists of the slow and medium-tempo numbers. Davis biographer Ian Carr notes that the former were "taken too fast and played scrappily", while the Funny Valentine pieces "were played with more depth and brilliance than Miles had achieved before." He goes on to laud the album as "one of the very greatest recordings of a live concert … The playing throughout the album is inspired, and Miles in particular reaches tremendous heights. Anyone who wanted to get a vivid idea of the trumpeter's development over the previous eight years or so should compare [earlier recordings of "My Funny Valentine" and "Stella by Starlight"] with the versions on this 1964 live recording."
