If you are a Miles Davis enthusiast, you must add this cd to your collection.
It really displays the artistry of Miles. The tunes are very well performed by all of the accompaning artist. A must have. Very prompt delivery (2 or 3 days).

Recorded on the same night of February 12, 1964 at Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln
Center in New York City (where the more balladic My Funny Valentine was recorded
live), The Miles Davis Quintet gave a more exhilarating and upbeat live performance
during this concert event. Released in 1966, “Four” And More showcase the Quintet
at it’s blistering best when the great jazz trumpeter and his stellar band mostly essay
the tempos, ranging from Indianapolis 500 to Bonneville Split Flats, to present a well
balanced albeit reconfigured repertoire featuring the familiar hard bop vitality of Four,
and Walkin’, newer’ post-bop compositions like Joshua and Seven Steps To Heaven,
as well as the standard There Is No Greater Love as the band perform with relatively
infrequent form at true supersonic pace. Performed at a sold out concert, “Four” And
More was spurred consistently by the rhythm section of Pianist Herbie Hancock, Ron
Carter on bass and especially by the cross percussion beat of drummer genius Tony
Williams, while Miles’ work in particular in the upper register was seldom well more in
command. Session saxophonist George Coleman, known as The Memphis Monster,
even lend his tenor saxophone solos where he plays better as he did during his brief
stay with Miles’ band in the early-1960’s until he was shortly replaced by saxophonist
and composer Wayne Shorter. Completely remastered and remixed in it’s complete,
original format, “Four” And More has never sounded more vibrant.

This session bristles with energy. The pace is exhilarating! Aside from the astonishing virtuosity, the sheer verve of the music is uplifting - literally - it's hard not to have both feet tapping and find yourself leaning towards the edge of your seat. The remastered sound is excellent - great depth and breadth to the sound-stage, punch and drive from the bass, clarity and bite in the upper registers without any digital harshness - terrific immediacy - the sister recording, "My Funny Valentine", shares these virtues.
*
Miles is supercharged throughout. He deploys staccato volleys and wavering glissandos, going for an urgency rarely equalled on other recordings. George Coleman is of the same spirit, although he prefers a more classical, clean delivery of his torrents of notes - in the liner essay Miles is quoted as judging this night to be Coleman's best-ever performance. The entire essay by John Ephland is very interesting and has many nice turns of thought - for example, "Imagine, if you can, the sheer ecstasy, the rush of playing faster than you can think, the magical, perfect blend of technique with feeling spiralling out this way and that." A good summation of the listening experience. Tony Williams is a dynamic powerhouse - coupled with Ron Carter, the rhythm is impossible to ignore. In this context, Herbie Hancock is in danger of being overwhelmed, and while his work is fine and adds to the fire, this is not the best showcase of his wide talents.
*
The selection of these tracks from the February 1964 night at the Lincoln centre makes for a wild and exhausting listen - mixed with a few of the more reflective numbers played that night, from "My Funny Valentine", the ride becomes more comfortable and even more engaging. A stunning night's music.

Every time I hear this I get teary-eyed, especially on numbers like "So What", "Walkin'", "Four", almost all of them - such powerful music so full of the rage that generated this concert as a benefit for black voter registration in Mississippi, and other states. It doesn't cut any closer to the bone than this.

I saw Miles play at least 10 times but sadly, not on the night of February 12, 1964 at Lincoln Center, the night his group created light speed jazz at tempos bordering on the unconscious. Tony Williams, the 18 year old prodigy, just took over and made these guys move in a way that simply is astonishing given just how experienced and talented a group this truly was. Every time I listen to this, I am struck by the spacing and openness of the sound and the power this group had in playing tunes they know by heart. It is a masterpiece that, in a round about way, is an up tempo salute to Kind of Blue, the greatest jazz album of all time as many of the compositions here are the same ones that Miles and Bill Evans penned for the earlier work. Absolutely one of the best jazz albums Davis ever did in this humble reviewer's opinion.

beste Miles-Davis-SACD der 60-er Jahre
Reviewed in Germany on November 16, 2013Verified Purchase
große Erwartungen hatte ich nicht, bevor diese SACD bei mir eintraf. Ich war vorher eigentlich ein Miles-Davis- Fan der späteren Jahre, so ab 1970. *Live- Evil* ist mein LieblingsAlbum. Frühere Aufnahmen hatte ich nie mit großer Begeisterung gehört. Sie waren mir meist zu "ruhig". Okay, um es kurz zu machen: "Four & More" ist das beste, was ich an Jazz-Aufnahmen kenne. Schnelle Stücke, unglaubliches Timing. Es soll sich um einen Zusammenschnitt zweier Konzerte handeln. Ob nun Live oder Studio, die Musiker spielen so, als wenn sie monatelang miteinander geprobt haben. Auffällig, wie musikalisch, lebendig und meist treibend Tony Williams das Schlagzeug bedient. Wieder mal ein Zeugnis, daß Miles Davis seinen Musikern sehr viel Freiheit ließ. Die anderen Musiker in Bestform sind:Ron Carter, bass, George Coleman, sax, Herbie Hancock am Piano. Von Anfang bis Ende eine mitreissende Platte. Die Klangqualität paßt !

こんな長い演奏をよくこんな音質でレコード一枚にしたものだ
Reviewed in Japan on February 13, 2017Verified Purchase
タイトルの通りなのですが、マイルスのファンで音質に少しでも拘る人であればMy Funny Valentineとこのアルバムが異様に長いため、オリジナルや評価の高い国内盤LPでも音に不満を持っていたと思います。30分から45分ぐらいがLPにとっては適切だと思いますが、MFSLが1時間の演奏を33回転1枚という制約のなかで見事に本来の音質に仕上げました。Miles in the SkyやNefertitiは45回転2枚組ですので、あえて長いこの二部作を33回転1枚に収める選択に最初は首をかしげたのですが、期待をはるかに超える音質でした。技術に敬服します。(再生:DL-103R、DP-59L、フェーズメーションT-3、PMA-1500RE、B&W CM1またはT1 2nd Generation)

ここまで凄いとは。。
Reviewed in Japan on March 26, 2012Verified Purchase
このレコーディングが行なわれた1964年というと、既に40年以上の歳月が流れているということに、まずは驚きます。そして、18歳のトニー・ウイリアムスの感性たるや、凄まじいものですね。自分が18のころ、何をやっていたのか(笑)
ハービー・ハンコックもロン・カーターも実に腰の据わった演奏で、しかも異常なこの演奏スピードにも余裕を持っているのに驚かされます。また、ジョージ・コールマンの演奏スタイルは、個人的には大好きで、むしろこのアルバムを有名にした功績は、ジョージ・コールマンにあったようにも思います。何よりもこの天才たちを発掘してきた、マイルス・デイビスに拍手。
