Sonny Stitt & Miles Davis

Posted by: User34 on 12 August 2007

I've been looking around on amazon and I've found a few recordings of The Miles Davis Quintet, from between the Coltrane period and the 2nd "great" quintet period featuring Sonny Stitt.

Sonny Stitt was considered a worthy successor in the Charlie Parker condition, from what I've been reading, but didn't fit the modal style that Miles was following.

Has anyone listened to these, relatively obscure, recordings and can recommend the best one ?

I would recommend the 1960 concert at Olympia in Paris on Trema. At least the sound on this one is not that bad.

Personally, from the 1960 European tour, I prefer his collaboration with Coltrane.
