The box contains 32 selections, including such compositions as “Four,” “Trane’s Blues,” “My Funny Valentine,” “Tune Up,” and “When Lights Are Low” that are to this day essential tunes of the standard repertoire. A bonus CD features eight previously unissued radio and television audio performance. The set is packaged in an attractive box that features cover art by Davis (the painting “New York by Night”) and includes five complete musical transcriptions of Miles’s solos (suitable for framing) and a 40-page booklet with insightful annotations by Bob Blumenthal.
The Miles Davis Quintet: The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions out now on Prestige Records (Concord Music Group), celebrates not only the 80th anniversary year of Davis’s birth but also the 50th anniversary of the bulk of these recording sessions. This special Anniversary release is available now for the holidays:
