Miles fans will be drooling with delight and buying it immediately. This is the ultimate collection item that even general music fans who are confused and dumbfounded should have! Its name is "Mercury God Hermes" Complete Wednesday Miles Definitive Edition! General music fans who are confused should read from Chapter 1. Those who are mostly familiar with "Complete Wednesday Miles" should read Chapter 2. Chapter 1 "Complete Wednesday Miles" In 1970, the jazz king Miles Davis, armed with electricity, finally descended on the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" Fillmore East. With Chick Corea's Fender Rhodes and Keith Jarrett's electronic organ on either side, Dave Holland's electric bass and Jack DeJohnette's complex rock drumming glared from behind, and Airto's percussion tricks captivated the Fillmore fans who had a discerning ear for rock music. "Miles at Fillmore East," which is still popular as a masterpiece, was born from the many concerts that were held. This album was created by Teo Macero, who edited the performances for four days from June 17th to 20th, 1970 (Wednesday to Saturday) and titled them "Wednesday Miles," "Thursday Miles," "Friday Miles," and "Saturday Miles" after the days of the week. In other words, each day's performance was cut, pasted, edited, and refined into a single song. The item introduced this time is the performance on the first day, Wednesday, "Wednesday Miles," which is a live recording before Teo Macero used the scalpel, that is, the entire performance according to the set list that was performed on that day. You may think, "Wow, that's amazing!", but so far it's "not so amazing." This is because titles with this kind of meaning have been circulating as collector's items in the past, and even the official "Bootleg Series" was released to put an end to that. "Eh? Well, it's not so great, but it's useless, isn't it?" I hope you'll think about it. This is the foundation for introducing the items that will be introduced this time. Chapter 2: "Hermes, God of Mercury" The definitive edition "Hermes" that will be introduced this time is based on the master of Miles' prestigious "SO WHAT" label (the highest point in the collector's world) using genuine multi-track tapes that were obtained independently. From there, the sound pressure has been further adjusted and the chapter position has been corrected. Therefore, there is no doubt that it is the highest point as a collector's item. So, "Does it have a chance to win against the official "Bootleg Series"?" To be honest, it will win. The sound quality of the "Bootleg Series" is often too sophisticated for official releases, the sound image is a little small, and the sound pressure is too clean, so the power of the band is not conveyed well. Furthermore, as a stereo source, the placement of Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett is reversed (as a fan who bought the Bootleg Series, I was disappointed). The sound image of Hermes emphasizes Chick and Keith to the left and right, and the sound pressure is increased, making it very powerful. Naturally, the placement of both keyboardists is also correct. In addition, it includes the band's 3-minute warm-up before the performance, which is not included in the Bootleg Series, and the sound effects played at the venue after the performance. Furthermore, disc 2 contains a raw alternate version without sound effects. This is a treasure disc that is not just for appreciation, but has immeasurable historical value as it reveals how the members were playing. This is housed in a gatefold paper jacket with a obi, making it the strongest collection that can no longer be complained about. As an aside, for those who ask, "What is Hermes? Is it a luxury bag?" In the past, people named the days of the week after the sun, moon, and planets shining in the sky. In Japan, Wednesday is associated with the planet Mercury. In ancient Greece, Hermes was the god of Greek mythology who was associated with the planet Mercury.
