• For the first time ever on CD, the 1969 Berlin performance by the Miles Davis Quintet with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette. The band toured Europe from October 26 to November 9, 1969, after Miles had recorded ‘In A Silent Way’.

• Miles Davis would later recount in his autobiography how highly he thought of this band, and how he was disappointed that there had been no live recording of the tour made. Miles was unaware of it at the time, but most of these performances (such as the ones included here) were recorded by European TV and radio stations or by audience members.

• Shorter left the band in the fall of 1969, and this quintet was to be soon replaced by new formations with even greater accents on percussion, fusion and funk.

• Total Time: 79:03 - 9 tracks - includes inside booklet.

• Personnel : Miles Davis, trumpet; Wayne Shorter, tenor & soprano sax; Chick Corea, electric piano; Dave Holland, bass & electric bass; Jack DeJohnette, drums - Berlin Philharmonie, Berlin, Germany, November 7, 1969. Bonus tracks : same personnel - Montreux Jazz Festival, Montreux, Switzerland, July 1969.
