Paris Jazz Festival, Salle Playel 10/1/1964

This 2LP set captures Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet just as Wayne Shorter completed the group and the band toured Europe. Recorded live in Paris on October 1, 1964 and pressed on blue/white/red French Flag vinyl, the album contains two separate and distinct concerts of the Miles Davis Quintet spread over 2 LPs and the energy and depth of feeling in the transcendent playing hint at the special relationship Miles and the group had with the French nation that embraced them in a way their homeland would not. It contains over 90 minutes of revelatory, unreleased live music featuring Miles backed by the legendary lineup of Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams.
