Product Description

This historically important 10 DVD set captures all of Miles Davis performances at the renowned Montreux Jazz Festival between
1973 and 1991, the last being less than three months before his death. It is an unparalleled archive of live Miles Davis
performances and is now being released on a visual format for the first time ever. Although many tracks are repeated across the
years the concerts are strikingly individual with extensive improvisation and frequent rearrangements. The final concert from 1991
sees Miles Davis paying tribute to his collaborator and close find Gil Evans who had died in 1988. With Miles philosophy of never
look back it was extraordinary that he would agree to perform such a show and it was a truly unique occasion captured here for
posterity. Miles Davis is undeniably one of the most important and successful jazz figures of the 20th century. This unrivalled DVD
box set of his live performances at Montreux is a release to be truly cherished.
Bonus Features
On disc one there are full interviews with Claude Nobs, Carlos Santana and Herbie Hancock plus shorter interviews about Miles Davis
with Monty Alexander, Helen Merrill, Betty Carter, Charlie Haden, Gil Goldstein, Stanley Clarke, Jean Luc Ponty and Al Di Meola and
Michel Petrucciani.

I bought the original audio CD set back when it was released but ending up selling it (but not before ripping it to my collection) and i am a little sorry I did. However, it is time for redemption. This is box set is the same collection but gives you the concert video. This bring everything so much more to life. Just listening is one thing and it is wonderful but to see how Miles played and how cool he really was on stage is a major treat. You can't go wrong in buying this set since as of this writing Amazon has reduced it to $99.99. Now this is a steal.
I have not seen all the discs yet but I know what to expect and that is top notch performing by Mile s and his band. The only thing this does not include is disc 20 from the audio CD release which is the July 17th concert with keyboardist Deron Johnson. No matter though this is worth more than what you will pay to see a master musician play live.

The man with the horn. Love his mid to late 80's material. Very underrated, glad it has seen the light of day, Miles left CBS to sign with Warner Bro. Great move, and ahead of his time as always.

WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT THE MAN AND HIS TRUMPET THAT HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN SAID. I HAVE
SEEN HIM TWICE LIVE AND HIS PERFORMANCES ARE GREAT. I BOUGHT THE CD BOX SET YEARS AGO
AND IT IS AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN THIS SET. A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION.

It's pricey,but worth it if you're a Miles fan.A lot of overlap of songs but that's to be expected.Wish there was more concerts with Robben Ford.Some really intense funky grooves going on here.Sound is quite good.
