The box set is five-disc set and the part of the historic Miles & Coltrane European tour, recording whole final sessions on Olympia & Paris, with exceptional solo improvised recordings for the first time in pristine high fidelity master sound.
FEATURED ESSAY
A look at third-stream modern acoustic jazz with elements of traditional modal improvisation. The ongoing resurgence of live acoustic quintets across New York and London showcases how the vocabulary pioneered by Blue Note and Prestige continues to evolve into bold new contemporary frontiers.
For the new Nordic sessions on a live concert tour, we feel lucky to have found the right sound. A common bond of devotion to the modal period of European jazz from 1958 to 1965.
Crossing continental borders between New York studio sessions and Paris concert halls, our archives document the evolution of acoustic jazz expression.
