Miles Davis Quintet – The Complete Live in Paris Vol. I & II (UHQCD dublu)

The Lost Recordings is releasing the complete legendary concert recorded on October 11, 1960, at the Olympia by Miles Davis and his quartet, together with saxophonist Sonny Stitt: “Miles Davis Quintet – The Complete Live In Paris Vol. I & II.” On that October evening at the Olympia, the celebrated Davis had returned without Coltrane. Only a few months earlier, he had given a turbulent concert with Coltrane that marked the end of their collaboration. The saxophonist who was now in the band was a much better fit for Davis’ vision: the extraordinary Sonny Stitt, the “lone wolf.” Together with Jamaican pianist Wynton Kelly, whom Davis had hired in 1959, double bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb, they formed a tight-knit group full of musicality that offered an ideal blend of restrained strength and discreet intelligence. At the Olympia, Davis rediscovered a stage he loved, in a city he had fallen in love with in 1949. “I loved being in Paris, I loved the way I was treated there,” he would later say.

The search for the complete concert began in 2022 when a friend of the label sent a photo of magnetic tapes in Brittany. A label marked “Miles Davis – Olympia 1960” immediately caught TLR’s attention. After two years of research in France, the United States and Stockholm, The Lost Recordings is proud to present the complete version of this legendary concert for the first time. The meticulously restored recording is available as a UHQ double CD for the first time – produced by Simon Garcia in Marciac, France, with a 24-page booklet. The famous Kevin Gray is responsible for the lacquer cuts on the vinyl version.

“The Lost Recordings” is celebrated worldwide for preserving invaluable musical heritage and for the unsurpassed quality of its Phoenix-Mastering™ restorations. The UHQCD version of “Miles Davis Quintet – The Complete Live In Paris Vol. I & II” is nothing less than an audiophile revelation.

UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. Another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied to the softer photopolymer for scratch protection. The combination results in significantly reduced reflection of laser light inside the CD and an unmatched precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with standard CD players. Musically, the result is a sound image strongly reminiscent of analog master tapes.
