By 1991, the worlds most celebrated trumpeter could look back on five decades of musical evolution his own, and that of the world around him. Miles Davis had found ways of marrying jazz with classical ideas, then later R&B, rock and funk, producing hybrid offspring that shaped the course of popular music and had come to define his legend. In 1985, hed left Columbia after thirty years to sign to Warner Bros. Records, a label riding high with best-selling artists like Madonna, Van Halen and Prince, with whom he had a mutual admiration and friendship.
Miles Daviss lifelong love for France is well-documented, and in July 1991, he became a Knight of their Legion of Honour. Davis received the award from French culture minister Jack Lang, who described him as: "The Picasso of jazz." A few days before, he played this electrifying set at the Vienne Jazz Festival with the Miles Davis Group. He passed away two months later in September 1991.
This previously unreleased set includes two songs written by Prince, Penetration and Jailbait.

Once again Miles and company move through the decades with style and greatness. Live at Vienne contains versions of songs by Cyndi Lauper and Prince. It sounds very eighties/nineties and still very Miles!

It’s a nice product, with nice sounding vinyl. However, Miles barely plays on most of the songs, aside from a bit of meandering intro/outro commentary. In that sense, it’s a disappointment.
