In Concert Live at the Olympia, Paris 1957

~ Release by Miles Davis Quintet (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

The producer and owner of this recording was the late jazz promoter Marcel Romano, who brought Miles Davis to Paris. After more than 60 years in storage, Romano’s nephew and heir discovered the tapes and sold them to Fresh Sound Records for a commercial release.

While this is credit to “Miles Davis Quintet”, the group performing is neither of the famous quintets associated with that name, but instead Miles with a group of European & American ex-pat sidemen.
