Tutu is not a players cd its a producers. Its a Marcus Miller CD not a Miles Davis one![/quote] and a great bass players CD too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassicinstinct Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 For me, it would have to be [b]"My Funny Valentine"[/b] which is a double live album. Recorded at the Lincoln Centre, New York on 12th February 1964, it features: [b]Miles Davis on Trumpet. Ron Carter on Bass Tony Williams on Drums Herbie Hancock on Piano (23 yrs old at the time!!) George Coleman on Tenor Sax.[/b] The story goes that the band found out only a few minutes before the gig that they would not be getting paid for their performance and this may go some way to explain the slight "edge" in some of the playing.
