About the album:
The latest entry in the award-winning Miles Davis Bootleg Series focuses on the final chapter in the landmark collaboration between Davis and saxophonist John Coltrane: their last live performances together, in Europe in the spring of 1960.
Miles and Coltrane first collaborated in 1955, when Davis recruited the tenor saxophonist alongside pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones. This "first great quintet" made their Columbia Records debut in 1957. Those early recordings showcased the stunning contrasts between Miles' spacious, melodic lines and Trane's cascading high-energy solos, famously described by the critic Ira Gilter in 1958 as "sheets of sound."
While the quintet disbanded shortly after the release of 'Round About Midnight, Coltrane was back in Miles' ensemble in early 1958. A year late, the Miles Davis Sextet (Davis, Coltrane, Chambers, saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, pianists Bill Evans or Wynton Kelly, and drummer Jimmy Cobb) recorded the historic Kind Of Blue, the best-selling jazz album of all time. And for this final tour the rhythm section of Kelly, Chambers and Cobb backed Miles and Trane.
These historic performances marked Miles and Trane's last outing together and showcased both musicians' incredible influence on the changing sound of jazz. The beautiful music they made together is presented here officially for the very first time.

You know Miles was like "God dammit John I told you not to go for that long"

[@Bips69]

Jazz critics of the day: “You can’t do much with modal music.” Trane: “Hold my beer.”

[@dimasbujursangkar8120]

haha, "hold my vandoren, i mean, rico reed" LOL

[@JoeEmick-ew7uo]

Bass and drums smokin

[@maximbelmont4641]

Man this sound like it could have been recorded today.

[@thecapricorn11]

what does that mean!?!?

[@PSYCHOTRONICbrdcst]

Except nobody today is *that* good. But you're right. This is more fresh than anything new or modern in this day and age.

[@timkjazz]

The apex of 20th century music.

[@PrestonStuartA]

10:37 piano break after massive Coltrane onslaught is awesome.

[@excellenceseeker7]

Lads, Coltrane - he breaks free from the earth's gravitational pull in this one

[@LGprtII]

Peter Foley 👏

[@louislark4506]

Phenomenally jazz genius musicianship!

[@MrOhmygoditsben]

Hard bop meets cool jazz. Epic

[@asabiyoung9254]

Two of The Greatest Musicians That Ever Lived, they can never be duplicated. I had the pleasure of meeting Miles . Mr. Davis and Mr. Coltrane your Spirit Lives On.

[@GjaP_242]

Bach, Beethoven and Mozart are from another era - far behind - and from another 'department'.

[@TheSecondNature]

fast and groovy. quite epic. sounds like a remarkably great blend of cool and bop

[@TheodorusRex]

I just got this for Xmas on LP. Very cool gift.

[@JoshGarsideMeyers]

Paul Chambers was probably like "fuck this" when he had to play the head out after they sped up during solos.

[@mauricehackett6833]

At a loss for words ! A masterpiece ! Seen these guys so many times since the 1950s

[@paulturnet4572]

Paul Chambers has no mercy at ALL right here,.....NONE AT ALL !!!

[@amalsuresh4311]

Awesome

[@sayyadina8966]

[@rbj100955]

[@dippin1523]

wow

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Great sound quality. Might get the CD of this soon.

[@thecapricorn11]

whats a CD?

[@leitoruido]

Coltrane jamás regresó a la tierra, después de ese sólo 😱🙏🏼💖

[@marywarren4206]

By the way I love the sound quality on this - I need these CDs.

[@alfredoechevarrieta7512]

Musica para todos los tiempos

[@FGP_Pro]

Magnificent!

[@bladome]

[@OdeenRocha]

This is the coolest!

[@nathanieltheoneandonly5933]

Highly recommend listening to this while animating

[@danieljason4777]

Amazing!

[@Brandooon95]

it cant get any cooler than THIS

[@GKboards]

Holy cow, that tempo is fast

[@paulturnet4572]

Todd Gack : ....a bit too fast for my taste,....still love it though !

[@ttp911]

Check out Miles' Four and More....whoa.

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

This track kept getting faster over the years. By the time of Miles second great quintet of the 60s it was taken at a blistering, punishing pace. Very exciting stuff!

[@RasProof]

Dos grandes creadores.

[@-https.4204]

Son sublimes

[@TheBlues088]

Impressions.

[@jeffjazzwraight]

Great music. One thing though. I have the issue of these concerts by 'Dragon' Records of Sweden who appear to have had access to the Swedish Radio master tapes, and this is from the first concert running at a little under 16 mins, whereas the version from the second concert runs at just under 11 mins. ( I checked Miles' solo ) So I wonder who has got it right!! BW

[@alansouzacruz970]

Dois mestres do jazz

[@ypolchenko-freejazz-guitar]

They could play 3 days and morning.

[@louislark4506]

I can distinguish Miles Davis sound from Coltrane.

[@desmondcallier8181]

Yeah ones a trumpet ones a sax lol

[@audiesteele4709]

👂🏾👂🏾👂🏾

[@toddhoward57]

I seem to be listening at 2x

[@drjukebox]

"It is simple John. Try taking the f-cking horn out of your mouth!"

[@marcoseti7422]

Fantastic sound and great recorded.......Bootleg??????

[@paulturnet4572]

That's exactly what I thought, BOOTLEG ?, I think not !!!

[@bounderby99]

The reason the sound quality is so good is because they recorded this to broadcast on the radio. That's why these tapes exist. Thank god this tour was recorded! The playing is just unreal from everyone in the band!

[@riddim66]

in vinyl please!

[@Paul47Tat]

I've always wondered why Miles took his tunes at such accelerated tempos live. This is rather more like it. I think he loses a bit of the beauty of this with the Second Great Quintet...not that I'm in any way besmirching them!

[@callmemonkh9020]

hey Paul... Miles, James Brown and Prince ( to cite a few) all sped up the tempo on many tunes they performed live. For them, it was a way to 'kick up' an already known album version; for us, it was the setup for a new arrangement of new ideas on the song. Get it? The speed does hav you lose a little texture -- depending on what tune it was...

[@tavaresbowens9165]

Not a jazz expert here but idk, I feel like the faster tempo makes the tune feel more alive imo

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

My feeling is: why not? If I want tranquil beauty I can always put on the studio album, but live is made for energy and excitement. Some of those Second Great Quintet live recordings will set your butt hairs on fire!

[@からすカラス-v4f]

ピアノはウイントン・ケリー？ですかね〜🎶🤭😁

[@calvinsbnb76]

I don't even know where to start with this shit. If this were released today, you'd think it was some kind of magnificent music from the far flung future where humans turned out okay after all, despite every indication to the contrary here recently. But of course it wasn't released today, but rather in 1960, sixty years ago. When this was recorded, the music was a measure of how far we'd come. Today, alas, it's an indicator of how far we've regressed (outstanding exceptions such as BLM notwithstanding). Anyway, Coltrane let *loose* on this tour, without regard for anything or anyone except the music. You want me to play, Miles? Yeah, okay, I'll play. But I'm not holding back. And then he proceeded to blow everything -- and everyone -- straight out of the water. Which is not to say that his bandmates -- Davis, Chambers, Kelly, and Cobb -- were anything less than brilliant. The whole ensemble, collectively but also individually, was way out beyond where anyone had been before, or has been since. But even among this crew, incandescent and shining bright, Coltrane was miles beyond.

[@AquaticMammalOnBicycle]

It's pretty disgraceful to not even have a clear direct PERSONNEL listing for who is playing in the band, in the caption or info under the video. There's an extended narrative about Miles's band in 1955 etc except this performance is obviously years after that. The album cover has some names unclearly written on it, but come on, you should have it as searchable text in your video info.

[@atombomb31458]

is this Wynton Kelly or Bill Evans?

[@matusa6714]

why it's so different from the studio album version?

[@heraclitusblacking1293]

Jazz is all about improvisation and doing things differently. It's not like pop music in that regard.

[@beauzoz]

Tempo one click up.

[@bardicpearl]

Interesting to consider Miles and Trane _hated_ each other at this moment in time...

[@barroningram7286]

James Parr ??????

[@robertanazziconi3787]

non e che mi piace tanto

[@UncleSaif]

dang....too fast

[@UncleSaif]

magical...none te less

[@joeemick1891]

Love this faster version
