Trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and one of the most important figures in jazz music history. Miles Davis adopted a variety of musical directions in his five-decade career that kept him at the forefront of many major stylistic developments in jazz. Born on May 26, 1926 in Alton, Illinois, USA and passed away on September 28, 1991 in Santa Monica, California at the age of 65. He is best known for his seminal modern jazz album "Kind of Blue" (1959), which remains the highest selling jazz album of all time with six million copies sold.Miles Davis studied at an academic school for musicians in NYC where he met Charlie Parker and they started playing together from 1945. In 1948, Miles Davis formed his own ensembles and collaborated with Gil Evans to create The Miles Davis Nonet. Their recordings from 1949 to 1950 resulted in the album "Birth of the Cool" (1957) and laid the foundation for their future collaborations.A pioneer of 'Hard Bop' in the mid-1950s, Miles Davis constantly pushed boundaries throughout his career. In the late 1960s, he ventured into experimenting with electronic instruments and incorporating rock and funk rhythms into his music. Despite health problems leading to a hiatus from playing in the mid-1970s, he made a comeback with an 'electronical' sound in 1980.

Miles Davis recorded his classic album Kind of Blue in 1959 and was at his peak in the jazz world. The year after he went on some tours to promote the album and his music. He toured Europe twice in 1960: the first time with John Coltrane in April 1960 and then with Sonny Stitt (on this CD) who replaced Coltrane who was a star in his own right and wanted to do various solo projects. These recordings are some of the best tracks from Paris and Stockholm and are viewed as better recording than the John Coltrane tour as by that time Coltrane was into many long solos that never stopped and was too much for many jazz fans. Coltrane would say to Miles after a gig that he can t help it and could not stop...Miles blunt replay was try taking the sax out of your mouth. These are classic rare recordings that have been re mastered to bring out the quality.
