Energophone-II Full Range take
French reissue from 1940s Dial Records. Miles Davis plays trumpet, and Dodo Marmarosa plays grand piano. Bi-bop of the highest standard at the peak of its popularity. Audiophile Lo-Fi sound, precise and clear, without artificial additives, especially the first four tracks of 1946.The cool sound of the Davis trumpet is worth mentioning too.
