GIL EVANS/MILES DAVIS - QUIET NIGHTS/SKETCHES OF SPAIN [BONUS TRACKS] NEW CD

2 LPs ON 1 CD  - INCLUDES 3 BONUS TRACKS24 BIT DIGITALLY  REMASTEREDThis release contains the complete original album Quiet Nights (Columbia CL2106), which marked the final recorded collaboration between Miles Davis and Gil Evans. A controversial LP, neither Davis nor Evans felt it had been finished when it was issued. However, given the fact that this would be their last conjunct album (even though they would later participate together sporadically on short projects), it serves as a testament of their amazing musical partnership and contains many delightful moments. As a bonus, three tunes from the same sessions that were not included on the original LP (the trumpeter’s only recordings with singer Bob Dorough, the tracks were issued on compilation albums and mark a very rare instance of Miles leader backing vocals) as well as Davis and Evans’ previous masterpiece, Sketches of Spain (Columbia CL1480) in its entirety.PERSONNEL:MILES DAVIS, trumpet on all tracks.
