Product Description
Miles Davis is universally regarded as one of the most influential and innovative jazz musicians and composers of the 20th Century. He was at the forefront of the jazz world for decades and was involved in the evolution of bebop, cool jazz, modal jazz and jazz fusion amongst others. Miles Davis played many times at the Montreux Jazz Festival, especially after his return to performance in the early eighties. This DVD brings together some of the highlights of those Montreux shows stretching back to his first appearance in 1973 and up to his final concert there in July 1991, just a couple of months before his death in September of that year.

Miles Davis's appearances at the Montreux Festivals between 1973 and 1991 have been well documented on the 20 CD box set released several years ago.
Here we have a selection of his best known cuts on DVD, in absolutely pristine sound and video quality - this is a true delight to see the master working his craft live on stage communicating with his band. For me the highlight was the 27 minute cut from the 1973, post "On the Corner" band.
It begs the question - will the complete Montreux performances be released on DVD at some stage? I really hope so, it would be a major document for those not for not fortunate to see him live during his lifetime.
In the meantime this is a splendid sampler which bears repeated viewings.

A store display.
13 Mar 2006
Format:DVD
After contacting Eagle Vision, here's what I found out. This item is actually a "retail only" store display of the Johnny Cash "Live at Montreux" concert for Eagle Vision U.S.A.. It is picture "strips" of the show (6 of them) pasted on a box for display. That's it! Can you believe that? Someone dropped the ball on this one. Just thought I'd let you know before you dish out some hard earned cash on something that isn't available.
