In an odd bit of programming, Columbia/CBS placed the ballads from Miles Davis' February 12, 1964, concert on My Funny Valentine and the uptempo numbers on this LP.
Davis, probably a bit bored by some of his repertoire and energised by the teenage Tony Williams' drumming, performed many of his standards at an increasingly faster pace.
These versions of "So What," "Walkin'," "Four," "Joshua," "Seven Steps to Heaven," and even "There Is No Greater Love" are remarkably rapid, with the themes quickly thrown before Davis, George Coleman, and Herbie Hancock take their solos.
Highly recommended, incredibly exciting music, and one of the last times Davis would be documented playing a full set of standards.

Side 1:
So What (9:10)
Walkin' (8:06)
Joshua / Go-Go (Theme And Announcement) (11:14)
Side 2:
Four (6:18)
Seven Steps To Heaven (7:51)
There Is No Greater Love / Go-Go (Theme And Announcement) (11:23)

LABELS: NEAR MINT
A clean set of factory-fresh labels with only a couple of spindle trace per side
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces shine like-new with nothing but a few harmless light marks, mostly in-vinyl pressing blemishes
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
An outstanding barely played original copy which delivers crystal clear, clean, bright sound.
Plays beautifully with practically nothing to fault, just a couple of ticks noted, nothing really, sounds great and these standards are delivered at such a pace it's breathtaking
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some light marks to the back, the cover is crisp and sharp with little wear to speak of
