Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock / Italy, October 11, 1964 (Remastered)

This definitive edition captures a rare 1964 Milan performance from Miles Davis—recorded during a European tour just before the formation of his “Golden Quintet”—and revitalizes the sound for modern listening environments through state-of-the-art remastering, noise reduction, and pitch correction by overseas enthusiasts. The performance showcases a band hitting its stride, featuring Wayne Shorter’s powerful tenor sax, a young Herbie Hancock’s dynamic piano, and a phenomenal rhythm section comprising Ron Carter and Tony Williams; it vividly documents the Miles Davis group of the early 1960s as it approached its creative peak. This release eliminates the distracting hiss and pitch instability found in previous versions, faithfully reproducing the performance’s original dynamics and atmosphere. Precise pitch correction ensures a natural, highly listenable sound that makes one forget the recording is over half a century old. Familiar standards such as “My Funny Valentine,” “Walkin’,” and “All Blues” are performed with the unique tension and thrilling improvisational spirit characteristic of this era. A must-have title for collectors and Miles fans alike, offering a chance to fully experience the energy of the band on the verge of becoming the legendary Golden Quintet.
