recorded at a concert at the Philharmonic Hall of Lincoln Center, New York City, NY, on February 12, 1964. The concert was part of a series of benefits staged at the recently built Philharmonic Hall (now known as the Avery Fisher Hall), co-sponsored by the NAACP, the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Davis's set that night was ostensibly in support of voter registration in Mississippi and Louisiana, but he also mentioned in a Melody Maker interview that one of the concerts was in memory of John F. Kennedy, who had been assassinated the previous year. Kennedy's death had struck at the hopes of many in the Civil Rights movement, a cause dear to Miles, who had expressed his admiration for the President in 1962: "I like the Kennedy brothers; they're swinging people."
Two albums were assembled from the concert recording. The up-tempo pieces were issued as Four & More, while My Funny Valentine consists of the slow and medium-tempo numbers. Davis biographer Ian Carr notes that the former were "taken too fast and played scrappily", whilst the Funny Valentine pieces "were played with more depth and brilliance than Miles had achieved before." He goes on to laud the album as "one of the very greatest recordings of a live concert … The playing throughout the album is inspired, and Miles in particular reaches tremendous heights. Anyone who wanted to get a vivid idea of the trumpeter's development over the previous eight years or so should compare [earlier recordings of "My Funny Valentine" and "Stella by Starlight"] with the versions on this 1964 live recording."
CONDITION of VINYL: Near Mint .Would be MINT but I don't use that grade unless sealed. looks brand new and stunning. nothing else to be said. no spindle marks etc. this one didnt get played it looks like. pristine.
CONDITION of SLEEVE: Nearmint
many pictures to see -
no seamsplit, no edgewear except back cover --lower left has a bit.
Back cover is totally clean and white.
I have hardly EVER seen an LP from '65 in this shape WITH the cover in the same shape. this is a stunner.
