Miles Davis Llive at Konserthuset

Seven of the great Miles Davis 50's tunes in two live dates. John Coltrane's last recording with Miles (recorded on March 21st, 1960). Coltrane's replacement in the band, Sonny Stitt (recorded on October 11th, 1960), has a more subdued style here. Great live sound. This is one to get if you enjoy jazz.

You will have almost certainly seen part of the Newport Jazz Festival of 1958 because the film ‘Jazz On A Summer’s Day’ was recorded there. Unfortunately, the Miles Davis Sextet was not featured. What a mistake! Davis produced some great groups but this Davis group proved to be one of his most remarkable groups and one of the most remarkable in the whole of jazz. Davis was surround by equals. That never happened again. Eight months after this appearance the same group recorded ‘Kind of Blue’ a completely different kind of jazz.

Jazz at the Plaza Vol. I is a live album by Miles Davis. It was recorded in 1958 and released in 1973 by Columbia Records. Duke Ellington was recorded at the same event and released as the second volume (Jazz at the Plaza Vol. II).

In 1991, the world's most famous trumpeter could look back on five decades of musical evolution - his own and that of the world around him. Miles Davis had found ways to combine jazz with classical ideas, then later R&B, rock and funk, producing hybrids that shaped the course of popular music and became his legend. In 1985, he left Columbia after thirty years and signed with Warner Bros. Records, a label that was riding high with best-selling artists like Madonna, Van Halen and Prince, with whom he shared a mutual admiration and friendship.

"Miles & Monk at Newport" was a combined album of a Miles Davis appearance at Newport with an appearance of Thelonious Monk, from the LP era. Despite the title, the two artists do not perform together on the LP, and they are represented on each side by separate live appearances at the Newport Jazz Festival.
