DAVIS,MILES - LIVE IN EUROPE 1967 (BOOTLEG SERIES 1) Vinyl LP

Deluxe 5LP boxset, housed in a lift-off box. The set includes printed inner sleeves and a 16-page booklet with exclusive photos and liner notes by jazz-historian Ashley Kahn. Live In Europe 1967 - The Bootleg Series Vol. 1 showcases the explosive transformation of Miles Davis' "second great quintet" with Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Herbie Hancock (piano), Ron Carter (bass), and Tony Williams (drums). Miles' Quintet lineup during that time is acknowledged as one of the high reference points in 20th century jazz, and it's influence continues to reverberate in small group jazz today. It was the quintet's live performances, as they evolved into Miles' ideal of a "leaderless" jamming ensemble, that truly immortalized them. Culled from original state-owned television and radio sources in Belgium, Denmark, and France, this set contains three northern European performances over the course of nine days in October and November 1967. Live In Europe 1967 - The Bootleg Series Vol. 1 is the best historical album of 2012, according to the Downbeat Critics Poll 2012.
