The Newport Jazz Festival has always been a premier event in the music world. Still having grown up in the sixties I missed out on many of the earliest and arguably the best performances, the most recent release from Legacy group addressed those missing years.
Miles Davis at Newport 1995-1975 Bootleg Series Volume 4 covers 20 years of the festival , 8 Band Line Ups and 5 Cities around the world. Nearly 5 hours of vintage jazz standards and original creations that include John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and Thelonious Monk! The hidden gem in this collection is that most are previously unreleased tracks that are sure to expose even the experienced Miles Davis fan to new territories.
The recordings are archival quality and allow the listener to travel back in time to the earliest days when Jazz was king in the hi-fi of America. The arrangements vary from impromptu jam sessions that someone fortunately decided to run tape to full length concert performances of “Kind of Blue”.
