Before Miles Davis signed with Columbia records and made that great run of Bop from 1955-1960, he was recording sessions for labels like Blue Note and Prestige. This blu-ray audio compilation gives you all the material from the Blue Note session dates, including outtakes. The 24K transfer of those early '50s masters to blu-ray technology is superb. There are of course artifacts of the analog era; the bass is a little thin and at times the horns sound edgy and brittle on the louder passages, but for the most part this is the cleanest I have ever heard these three albums (Young Man With A Horn, Miles Davis Vol. 2 and Vol. 3). One thing to note is how natural and full Gil Coggins' piano passages sound...something very hard to find on recordings of this era! For such a young leader, Davis and his band mates sound locked in and focused. Davis is still working on developing his sound, but the confidence and vision are clearly emerging. This is a highly recommended set, especially on this audio format.Read full review
