The newest entry in Columbia/Legacy Recordings"&"rsquo; critically-acclaimed Miles Davis Bootleg Series, NEWPORT 1955-1975 clocks in at 296 minutes, nearly four hours of which is previously unreleased. From Miles"&"rsquo; debut performance at NJF in 1955 (a hastily arranged jam session featuring Thelonious Monk and Gerry Mulligan, that immediately led to the trumpeter"&"rsquo;s Columbia signing), to his final public perform"&"shy;ance of the "&"rsquo;70s in 1975 (at Lincoln Center during NJF-NY, the singular "&"ldquo;Mtume"&"rdquo; named for Miles"&"rsquo; favored percussion"&"shy;ist of that decade), the box set traces the ascendance of Miles"&"rsquo; music as the ne plus ultra of jazz. The full-length concert performances alone of Miles"&"rsquo; famed "&"ldquo;Kind Of Blue"&"rdquo; Sextet (with Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb), and "&"lsquo;second great quintet in "&"rsquo;66 and "&"rsquo;67 (with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams) represent templates that reverberate in jazz and popular music to this day."&"nbsp;MILES DAVIS AT NEWPORT 1955-1975: THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 4 was produced for release by the multiple Grammy Award"&"reg;-winning trio of Richard Seidel and Michael Cuscuna; with co-producer Steve Berkowitz, and features an extensive essay including in-depth interviews with George Wein and various band personnel by Grammy Award"&"reg;-winning author and journalist Ashley Kahn."&"nbsp;"&"nbsp;MARKETING:Filmed interview with George WeinExclusive announcement with Associated PressVarious events at Newport Jazz Festival 2015Targeting various media for audio premiers - ie.
