"Bags Groove" was one of my first acquisitions. "Friday and Saturday 
Nights at the Blackhawk" I like too. It has been reissued a couple of 
times on CD, the first time OK, but the "Complete" version on 4 CDs is 
unpleasantly sharp--I didn't keep it. There are many live recordings of 
Miles with Coltrane of excellent musical and sound quality. I remember 
hearing them on French radio in 1959-60, was very impressed, especially 
with Coltrane. Most of them didn't get to be issued for another couple 
of decades. Jimmy Cobb was one of the few "happy-sounding" modern 
drummers, similarly for Wynton Kelly's piano playing.
