Miles Davis

Sony U.K. shrinks down the 2010 box set by dropping the vinyl component.  This repackaging includes 3 CDs and 1 DVD:  two CDs with the original 94-plus minutes of music plus six bonus tracks, a third CD of Miles' previously unissued performance at Tanglewood in August 1970 with Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, Airto Moreira and Gary Bartz, and a DVD of a previously unissued performance in Copenhagen, November 1969, with Wayne Shorter, Corea, Holland and DeJohnette.  The accompanying book features a 5,000-word essay by Greg Tate as well as notes by producers Michael Cuscuna and Richard Seidel plus dozens of rare photographs and record label memos.
