This got a rave review in the NY times (or rather, Iyer did).  Not jazz, in my book, but interesting and attractive experimental music with jazzy stuff in it.

My favorite Live Miles that I have heard: Plugged Nickel.

That's my favorite live Miles too. Frankly, I'm not a fan of his electric period, god knows I've tried.

That looks interesting, I've got most of Iyer's albums so I'll have to check this out!

Dave Holland deserves more attention here!
Dave Holland's solo is also great.

This is one of the best solo double bass albums for me. Miles's Solar is included.

There is a double bass duo album with Barre Phillips.

Yup.  :)And I will probably try again.

With Shorter composing for Miles, the electric period would have been so much better. To me the gem of that period is Sanctuary from bitches brew (and I love also the electric versions of Nefertiti I've heard in some live).

A fantastic record.

I've been a Mingus fan for 35 years, but until recently, I couldn't connect with this disc.  Then one summer evening in 2011, it clicked big time. Alcohol may have been involved.

Dogon A.D. is a great album. Free mp3 of Julius Hemphill Sextet's performances (not from the album) are available from Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston.

Have you heard him on this?  One of my favorite discs ever.

Ask the Ages has been on my wishlist for some time now. But, since it is out of print, it's kind of hard to find at a decent price.

Wow, I didn't realize it was oop.  A sad state of affairs.

I confess that when I heard Ask the ages it didn't impressed me much, while there are many albums with Sharrock in the sixties that I really like. But maybe it was my problem, I want to listen to it again.
Anyway, talking of free jazz guitarists and Pharoah Sanders I love Tisziji Munoz (Sanders's favorite guitarist).

Opinions please.

The full set is four CDs and a DVD, filled with multiple performances of the same songs.
[asin]B005ARYEY6[/asin]
The single disc is one performance each of the songs, presumably what the producers thought was the best performance of each song,  and of course no DVD.

[asin]B00BXDPGPC[/asin]
I can get the single CD version for about $15, or the full set for about $29.  (The listing for the single CD doesn't actually contain the ASIN number, so I've given the complete URL in case the usual ASIN link does not work.)

While I like Miles, I'm not a rabid fan. 

Would I find the extra performances on the full set to be worth the price difference? At the moment the DVD is exercising gravitational pull towards the full set.
