Miles Davis - Miles In France 1963 & 1964 - Miles Davis Quintet: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8

The acclaimed Miles Davis "Bootleg Series" has spanned years as early as 1955, and as late as 1985, but it has not yet touched 1963 or 1964 – a pivotal period in Miles' musical evolution and the auspicious beginnings of the Second Great Quintet – until now. Miles in France – Miles Davis Quintet 1963/64: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8 includes all the music made at the 1963 Festival Mondial Du Jazz in Antibes (July 26-28) and the 1964 Paris Jazz Festival (October 1). The 1963 recordings feature George Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams – while the 1964 recordings feature Wayne Shorter's arrival on tenor saxophone as the final member of the Second Great Quintet. Released November 8, 2024 as an 8 LP set with more than four hours of previously unreleased music and new liner notes by journalist Marcus J. Moore. Produced by the multi-GRAMMY winning team of Steve Berkowitz, Richard Seidel and Michael Cuscuna and mastered by multi-GRAMMY winning Sony Music engineer Vic Anesini at Battery Studios in NYC.
