Miles in France' is the eighth installment in the celebrated Miles Davis Bootleg Series, and this edition focuses on the birth of the Second Great Quintet in 1963 and 1964. The music heard here represents the sound of an end and a beginning coming through at once. The set contains 5 separate performances of the Miles Davis Quintet spread over 8 LPs. The energy and depth of feeling in the transcendent playing hint at the special relationship Miles and the group, had with the French nation that embraced them in a way their homeland would not. It contains over 4 hours of revelatory, unreleased live music featuring Miles backed by George Coleman (on the 1963 recordings), Wayne Shorter (on the 1964 recordings), Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. The audio has been lovingly mixed and mastered in the highest quality possible and the 8 LPs are packaged in 4 gatefold jackets housed in a luxe slipcase box with a die-cut O-card.
