Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" and "Sketches of Spain" remixed to ATMOS

[edisonbaggins]

Meanwhile, in today's mail I received the DOLBY ATMOS BD~A of EARTH: One Amazing Day: The Immersive Experience. BTW, it's a BD~ROM disc

I've thought about pulling the trigger on the BD-V and/or BD-A. I'm interested in your thoughts.
BD-ROM? What does that mean?! Does crazy stuff in the computer?!

Did these ever get released on any home media?

We're still waiting. (And welcome to QQ!)

Thank you! Always liked the forum so figured I'd quit lurking I would appreciate atmos releases if only because they'd be more easily and cheaply available than the old SACDs and DVDs.

Will be watching the reviews carefully on these releases, but color me skeptical because of the limited source material.

PS - I only have two more days to say it, but hindsight is next year!

Any new news?

Ish. It's mentioned in that special "Atmos" issue of Mix that @haikubass told us about. @Wunlow just posted a link to it on issuu.com. Flip to page 13.

Seems odd to want to mix a 3 track recording into 7.1

Right, some natural room reverb added perhaps; but that would hardly qualify for a stunning audition would it?

in the article humprof mentioned David Rideau said that they tried to match the atmos to equal the same spatial dimensions as the studio that Miles recorded it in in New York in 1959.

Now that's one way to really utilize 7.1.4 speakers, to make it sound like those speakers are emittiting the sound of the exact cubic footage of the recording studio!

August now, still waiting

While we wait for Dave Rideau's Atmos mix to materialize (it's the 60th anniversary; what are they waiting for?):

For a few years now a brilliant young arranger named Ryan Truesdell, who studied under Maria Schneider, has assembled a jazz orchestra, the Gil Evans Project, made up of A-list East Coast players, to perform and record lost and restored arrangements from all periods of Evans's career. The two albums they've released, Centennial and Lines of Color, are gorgeous; the arrangements and performances, breathtaking.

A couple of weeks ago, as a fundraiser for members of the project (who've been sidelined by the pandemic, obviously--and most jazz musicians don't have much laid by to begin with), Truesdell engineered a "remote" online performance of "Concierto de Aranjuez," with Riley Mulherkar (ex-Westerlies) in the Miles Davis role.

still waiting???

For fans of the album, there's a new book out this week and here's an excerpt:

Jazz was at the apex of its artistic power and commercial popularity when, in 1959, some of the music's greatest innovators gathered to record in New York City. In this excerpt from the new book 3 Shades of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool (Penguin Press, March 5, 2024), author James Kaplan puts us in the room as Davis and his collaborators record "So What," the track that leads off what is often hailed as the greatest jazz album ever.
