The acclaimed Miles Davis "Bootleg Series" has spanned years as early as 1955, and as late as 1985, but it has not yet touched 1963 or 1964 - a pivotal period in Miles’ musical evolution and the auspicious beginnings of the Second Great Quintet - until now. Today, Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, announce the newest box set in the Miles Bootleg Series out November 8th — Miles in France - Miles Davis Quintet 1963/64: The Bootleg Series, Vol.

The Miles Davis Estate proudly announces the release of the eighth installment in the acclaimed Miles Davis Bootleg Series: Miles in France 1963 & 1964. This exceptional collection shines a spotlight on the formative years of Miles Davis's Second Great Quintet, capturing the essence of a musical revolution in progress.

In the chill of autumn's embrace, we mark the birth of John Coltrane, a figure whose presence loomed as vast as the heavens, yet whose mortal span was all too brief. Born in the small town of Hamlet, North Carolina, in 1926, Coltrane’s journey would begin humbly, yet soon ascend to the ethereal. Raised in the midst of the Great Depression, Coltrane discovered his voice through the saxophone, his instrument of prayer.

Celebrating the 65th anniversary of Kind of Blue, it’s impossible not to marvel at the timeless brilliance of this album. Released on August 17, 1959, this record not only altered the landscape of jazz but also became a beacon of innovation for generations of musicians across genres. The genius of Kind of Blue lies in its radical simplicity — a deep dive into modal jazz that allowed its players to explore a more spacious, minimalist approach, focusing on melodic freedom over complex chord progressions.

Craft Recordings celebrates a pivotal year for Miles Davis with Miles ’54: The Prestige Recordings—a new, 20-track compilation, collecting genre-defining recordings from the music icon’s 1954 output, including music from classic albums Miles Davis with Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis Quintet, Miles Davis All Star Sextet, and Miles Davis Quartet (all originally issued via Prestige Records).

In the grand cosmic dance of jazz, where notes float like leaves in the autumn wind, there stands a figure whose very name conjures the essence of innovation, rebellion, and pure, unadulterated genius—Miles Davis. Born on this day, May 26th, 1926, in Alton, Illinois, Miles Davis would go on to become a towering giant in the world of music, leaving behind a legacy that transcends genres and generations.
