The Miles Davis Quintet
Complete Live At The Blue Coronet 1969

Album US 2010 on Domino Records label
Jazz (Post-Bop, Modal, Fusion)

All tracks previously unissued! This edition presents all surviving music from never heard performance by the 1969 Miles Davis Quintet, with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette. It was taped at the Blue Coronet Club in New York in June of that year, before the group embarked on a European tour. Miles remembered this remarkable group in his autobiography as "really a bad motherf**ker". These recordings are welcome considering that this exact formation of the quintet never made a studio recording. Later that same year : "Miles Davis was shot and wounded in the hip by unknown assailants in the early morning of October 9 as he sat in a parked car with a friend in New Yorkís East Village. The injury was not serious, and Davis was treated at a hospital and released. The trumpeter, who was appearing at the Blue Coronet in Brooklyn, told police that he had been warned, four days prior to the assault, not to appear at the club, located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, unless he paid part of his salary to the unidentified man making the threats. Davis offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the identification and/or arrest of his assailants. He said he would never again play at the club." (Down Beat, November 13, 1969) Live at The Blue Coronet Club, Brooklyn, New York, June 21-29, 1969.
