Miles Davis

 

This release presents, for the first time ever on a single set, all surviving music by the Miles Davis-John Coltrane 1960 European tour (with the sole exception of the well known and widely available March 21 Olympia concert in Paris –issued on Europa 1–, and the March 22 Stockholm performance –issued on Dragon). Coltrane would leave Miles shortly afterwards to form his own celebrated quartet. As a bonus, a quartet set by Coltrane with Miles’ rhythm section recorded in Dusseldorf during that same tour (Miles didn’t play for contractual reasons).
