Upcoming live album by Miles Davis on Rhino to feature "Penetration" and "Jailbait" (written by Prince)

COMING SOON: Miles Davis, MERCI MILES! LIVE AT VIENNE

.

In July 1991, the country of France honored jazz legend Miles Davis by making him a Knight of its Legion of Honour. the French culture minister Jack Langdescribed Davis as "The Picasso of Jazz"; Davis, for his part, returned the accolades with a concert at Jazz a Vienne with the Miles Davis Group. That show was captured and is now set for release as Merci Miles! Live at Vienne on June 25 via Rhino Records.

.

[...]

.

Merci Miles! Live at Vienne features a pair of songs written by Davis' longtime friend and musical soulmate, Prince: "Penetration" and "Jailbait."

Can't wait! This is low key my favorite Miles period (88-91). Foley and Kenny Garrett?! BADASS! I have the amateur version of this concert so I can't wait to hear it soundboard

No!! It actually hit me the other day when I saw the tracklist. I was already a hardcore Prince fan back then, so I'd have been hysterical knowing I was hearing 2 unreleased Prince songs, but I had no way to know (IDK if Madhouse 24 was already out back then, but I wasn't yet aware of bootlegs, I bought my first boot about 4 months after that concert). Crazy, isn't it?

So the album is out. It's pretty good, although I'm not a fan of the mix. "Penetration" is not the best version I've heard either - Paris 1991 is excellent, but maybe that's just because I've known that version for more than 20 years now... It's cool to finally have an official version of "Jailbait" (aka "19 (Jailbait)").

Both Penetration an Jailbait, from the album, can be individually purchased in digital form from iTunes (and likely other places but I haven’t looked into that).
There may or may not be something coming!

Good. Rubberband a recent album release is also worth checking out. Even non-fans may like some of it - quite commercial sounding in places.

This upcoming album is going to confuse any potential newbies. They be like "I had no idea Miles D recorded so much live. Whenever I go see my fave artist, he doesn't play live at all. He mimes." neutral

The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!

If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days...
