The album package claim that this is “the first time ever on CD” of the 7 November 1969 Berlin performance by the Miles Davis Quintet is correct. The last time this concert appeared in digital format was as a part of the 2013 Columbia/Legacy release Live In Europe 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. 2, when it appeared on DVD. This release is not to be confused with Miles In Berlin (Columbia/Legacy), which was recorded on 25 September 1964. The value of this release, as well as the three other European concerts from the same tour documented on The Bootleg Series, is that this band was never properly recorded by Columbia, so earning the sobriquet ‘The Lost Quintet’. These releases effectively remedy that, and it is not often recordings re-write jazz history but this album, along with the Columbia/Legacy release, does exactly that. The importance of these recordings was explored at feature length in the pages of the April 2013 issue 175 of this magazine, which is well worth reading in conjunction with this music. Suffice to say, and without repeating myself too much, this music was hot and far removed from the studied cool of Kind of Blue recorded just a decade earlier as can be imagined. A new chapter was opening up in Davis' life, and it is perhaps here we find his finest representation of jazz-rock. As a bonus, two extra tracks recorded by this band at the Montreux Jazz festival from July 1969 are included.
