Live At Montreux
Live At Montreux documents a truly historic moment in jazz, bringing together two of music's most influential figures—Miles Davis and Quincy Jones—for an unforgettable performance at the 1991 Montreux Jazz Festival.
Originally released in 1993, the album captures Davis revisiting the celebrated orchestral repertoire associated with his groundbreaking collaborations with arranger Gil Evans. Under the direction of Quincy Jones and backed by a superb large ensemble, the concert reimagines material from classic recordings including Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain, showcasing the timeless brilliance of these landmark works.
Recorded just months before Miles Davis' passing, the performance is often regarded as one of the most significant concerts of his later career. Davis delivers a masterful and deeply expressive performance, while Jones expertly guides the orchestra through the rich, expansive arrangements that helped redefine modern jazz.
The album was met with widespread critical acclaim upon release and went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Performance, cementing its place as an essential recording in the catalogues of both artists.
Pressed on 180-gram vinyl, Live At Montreux offers listeners the opportunity to experience a remarkable collaboration between two musical visionaries whose influence continues to resonate across jazz, popular music and beyond.
