Miles Davis Live At Montreux Coming To DVD

Eagle Rock have announced a June 21st DVD release date for Miles Davis Live At Montreux Highlights 1973-1991.

The late legend Miles Davis singlehandedly changed the course of jazz history to bring it closer to funk and rock, confounding the critics and all who came before him. He remained a reclusive figure, enigmatic and indefinable both onstage and off. Now, for the first time, Eagle Rock Entertainment has collected the "Highlights" of his numerous headline appearances at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland

Taken from seven performances over the course of 18 years, it's a mind-bending time-travel that shows the chameleon-like tenacity that Miles brought to his ever-evolving sound. With Miles, the only constant was change. From his debut 1973 performance of "Ife" to his final appearance in 1991 where he looked back unsentimentally at one of his greatest moments, Sketches Of Spain, the 1960 collaboration with producer Gil Evans, each performance is as varied and different as can be. more on this story
