Miles Davis Quintet with John Coltrane: 1960 German Concerts (CD: JazzLips)
This release presents two never before released performances in Germany by the great Miles Davis Quintet with John Coltrane. Among the highlights are three different extended performances of “So What” (two sets were played at the first concert) and a new reading of the classic “’Round Midnight”.

These live recordings must be considered treasures. Primarily for their rarity. as Coltrane left Miles to form his own group soon after this brief early 1960 tour, and was soon to record his famous ‘My Favorite Things’ album. But, secondly, for the manner in which Coltrane plays - seemingly more for himself than for the quintet, and certainly very different from that of his studio recordings with Miles.
