Product Description

RELEASE DATE: August 30th 2024

The 8-LP box set Miles At Newport 1955-1975 – The Bootleg Series
Vol. 4 features of live performances by Miles’ stellar band lineups

from 1955, 1958, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1973, and 1975, in New-
port, Rhode Island, New York City, Berlin, and Switzerland. From

Miles’ debut performance at NJF in 1955 (a hastily arranged jam
session featuring Thelonious Monk and Gerry Mulligan), to his final

public performance of the ‘70s in 1975, the box set traces the ascen-
dance of Miles’ music as the jazz superstar he has become known to

be.
The full-length concert performances alone of Miles’ famed “Kind
Of Blue” Sextet (with Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Bill Evans,
Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb), and second great quintet in ‘66
and ‘67 (with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony
Williams) represent templates that reverberate in jazz and popular
music to this day.
Miles At Newport 1955-1975 – The Bootleg Series Vol. 4 is available as

a deluxe 8LP box set, housed in a lift-off box. The set includes print-
ed innersleeves, a mini poster of Miles, and a 12-page booklet with

extensive liner notes and rare photos.
