Miles Davis/France 1988

A complete recording of the band’s appearance at the Jazz Festival held in Nice, France on July 14 during their 1988 European tour, from the on-air source broadcast by a French radio station in 2015. Until now, audience sources and digest-like sound sources have been distributed, but this time it is recorded from a perfect stereo soundboard sound source that has been properly mastered, and the quality is such that it can be released as an official bootleg. After his comeback, 1988 was the year when he was at his most energetic, and both Miles and the band were in top condition, and suddenly the whole band burst into flames from “Perfect Way,” with Foley, who played especially freely, performing well. , the way Miles opened the second half and sang mutedly showed how well he was doing that day. In addition, Miles’s singing moves into “Tutu” guided by the impromptu solos of each member in “Wrinkle”, and the super funk rhythm that continues from the Prince number “Movie Star” to “Time After Time” is mellow and delicate. The flow is also worth listening to. Two weeks later, they came to Japan to perform at the now legendary performance “Live Under the Sky,” which focused on the group’s combination work, as if reviving that overwhelming performance. “Kime” is the life style of the performance, and Miles also contributes to the sound product as a group rather than being a front player. The way he plays freely with the ideal guitar and drums in the background is impressive. A must-listen item for fans who can listen to this in official quality. DISC ONE : 1. Intruder/2. New Blues/3.
