Miles Davis – We Want Miles (Ltd Edn Yellow Vinyl 2LP)

The first live Miles Davis electric band release since the very dark and heavy Dark Magus (1977), We Want Miles was edited together from live concerts at Boston’s Kix Club. The colored vinyl 2LP-set from 1982 contains reimagined versions of songs from The Man With the Horn (1981), tunes from the pre-electric Gil Evans collaboration Porgy and Bess (1959), and a dedication to the Boston venue called “Kix”.

While this is one of the first live Miles Davis performances in over half a decade it certainly did not show! This album features R&B legend Marcus Miller on bass, Mike Stern on guitar, Bill Evans on saxophone, Mino Cinelu on percussion, and electric band alumni Al Foster on drums. Produced and edited by long time Miles collaborator Teo Macero.

Sony Legacy Recordings/Get On Down Miles Davis 1980s reissue series release remastered from the original analog tapes. Gatefold jacket packaging with Japanese stylized insert and deluxe obi strip.
