I like the more subtle spacier cuts on this one such as the fantastic opening waltz, the opening phrases of "Diamenticare Stanca" and the gorgeous, but short closing track "Peace". Rava is great with his trumpet and combines both the subtle phrasing and sharp angularities of Miles' sound during these years. The mean gonzo-funk does slog on a few these longer tracks which cools me down slightly, but generally you'll win more than lose with this one.
