MILES IN FRANCE is the eighth installment in the celebrated Miles Davis Bootleg Series and this editionfocuses on the birth of the Second Great Quintet in 1963 and 1964. The music heard here represents thesound of an end and a beginning coming through at once. The set contains 5 separate performances ofthe Miles Davis Quintet spread over 6 CDs and the energy and depth of feeling in the transcendentplaying hint at the special relationship Miles and the group had with the French nation that embracedthem in a way their homeland would not. It contains over 4 hours of revelatory, unreleased live musicfeaturing Miles backed by George Coleman (on the 1963 recordings), Wayne Shorter (on the 1964recordings), Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. This set expands on the 1964 live albumMILES IN EUROPE which documented the Miles Davis Quintets performance at the Festival Mondial duJazz in Antibes in July 1963. While that album included a single edited set across 2LPs, this will include allthree very distinct performances from Antibes along with two never-before-released concerts fromOctober 1964 in Paris, by which time Wayne Shorter had joined the band, so you could hear the SecondGreat Quintet come together before your ears. The audio has been lovingly mixed and mastered in thehighest quality possible and the CDs are packaged in 3 gatefold mini-jackets housed in a luxe slipcase boxwith a die-cut O-card and a 32 page book that includes dozens of unseen photos, ephemera andextensive liner notes by noted journalist Marcus J. Moore.
