Miles Davis Quintet The Complete Live In Paris 1960 Vol.I (2 LP)

The Lost Recordings releases the first part of the legendary concert recorded on October 11, 1960 at the Olympia by Miles Davis and his quartet, together with saxophonist Sonny Stitt: "Miles Davis Quintet – The Complete Live In Paris Vol.I". On that October evening at the Olympia, the celebrated Davis was back without Coltrane. The saxophonist who was now in the band was a much better fit for Davis' vision: the extraordinary Sonny Stitt, the "lone wolf". Together with Jamaican pianist Wynton Kelly, whom Davis had hired in 1959, double bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Jimmy Cobb, they formed a cohesive group full of musicality that offered an ideal blend of restrained strength and discreet intelligence.
The search for the full concert began in 2022 when a friend of the label sent a photo of magnetic tapes in Brittany. A label that read "Miles Davis – 1960 Olympics" immediately caught TLR's attention. After two years of research in France, the United States and Stockholm, The Lost Recordings is proud to present the full version of this legendary concert for the first time. The elaborately restored recording comes as a strictly limited (3000 copies) double LP – with 180 grams, vinyl cut at 33 rpm and by Simon Garcia, Marciac. The famous Kevin Gray is responsible for the lacquer cuts.
"The Lost Recordings" is celebrated worldwide for the preservation of priceless musical heritage and the unsurpassed quality of its Phoenix mastering™ restorations. "Miles Davis Quintet – The Complete Live In Paris Vol.I" is also nothing more than an audiophile revelation, as it shows how fantastic stereophonic mono recordings can sound.
