Miles Davis' concert of February 12, 1964, was originally divided into two LPs, with all of the ballads put on
My Funny Valentine. These five lengthy tracks (which include "All of You," "Stella by Starlight," "All Blues," "I Thought About You," and the title cut) put the emphasis on the lyricism of
Davis, along with some strong statements from tenor saxophonist
George Coleman and freer moments from the young rhythm section of pianist
Herbie Hancock, bassist
Ron Carter, and drummer
Tony Williams. This hour-long LP complements the up-tempo romps of
Four & More. The original CD issue was as a double disc with extra material. Thankfully, Legacy issued this as a single disc in 2005 as it appeared on LP, keeping the integrity of the original release.
