recorded live at Grande Halle de la Villette, Paris, July 10, 1991
Miles Davis is arguably the one artist who has exerted the most sustainable
infl uence on the history of jazz. Among others, Miles and his trumpet were
responsible for the most important changes that happened in jazz since
the 1950s. Thanks to his unequalled intonation and economical melody
layout, Miles has earned himself the status of a pop icon. On July 10th
1991 he played a legendary concert in "La Villette" in Paris. At this concert
almost all of his musical companions rejoined together once again to be
on stage with him. It was supposed to be the last concert of Miles Davis in front of TV cameras. But Miles proves
once again that he is an absolutely electrifying improvisational artist. Especially during open passages, his play is
imbued with a brilliant, powerful sound. When he used the mute on his trumpet, his play becomes distinctly lyrical.
Davis's use of tones and pauses - loved so dearly by his fans - is perfectly balanced

Looking for this DVD for many years, I have a bad version I recorded from TV many years ago and i was very pleased to find an "Official DVD" on Amazon where I have always bought quality products. Unfortunately it was not what I received this time, the video quality is very bad, the picture has ghosts and is much lower than any image of a common DVD, that looks like a homemade copy. The DVD has no extras and the booklet does not provide any information beyond the names of songs and a JVC logo (??). Do not waste your time and your money, What I received on this DVD you will find anywhere on the Internet for download. Do not understand how AMAZON can put a product as bad as this for sale on your website.
I'm DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED!

Know your Miles and you would wish you had been there at the time; enjoying an evening stroll through beautiful Paris then entering the superb environment of La Villette to be entertained by one of the finest musicians of all time playing a few of his and of course our favourite numbers - sheer magic and a 'must buy' for anyone with excellent musical taste.
Sit back and imagine yourself in the best seat in the place simply because you actually are, thanks to this magnificent dvd: just enjoy !!
