• Track Listing

Here’s a fascinating way to chart the course of Miles’ unparalleled jazz journey: live recordings of his ever-evolving bands from ’55 to ’75…almost five hours of music, nearly four of which are previously unreleased! His "Kind of Blue" sextet and Second Great Quintet are both represented as the set moves from Miles’ 1955 Newport debut to his last public performance of the ’70s (at Lincoln Center). In between, you’ll hear the complete "Miles Davis at Newport 1958" LP (released by Columbia in ’64) with Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb, plus Newport performances in ’66, ’67, ’69, ’71 and ’73 (those last two are Newport Jazz Festival in Europe shows from Switzerland and Berlin). Thelonious Monk, Gerry Mulligan, Zoot Sims, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett…jazz genius abounds across "Hackensack," "Now’s the Time," " ’Round Midnight," "Two Bass Hit," "Straight No Chaser," "All Blues," "Gingerbread Boy," "Stella by Starlight," "So What," "Footprints," "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down," "Mtume," "Sanctuary," "Bitches Brew," "Funky Tonk," "Directions" and more!
