When it comes to highly sought-after original Blue Note LPs, stereo or mono has always been something a vexed question.

Cannonball is sort of playing to Miles, I believe, because he’s playing sort of within Miles’ context of a style. He’s not going to throw a whole lot of notes up against Miles, who is going to play very few notes. […]
