The sixth volume in Legacy's Miles Davis Bootleg Series circles back to 1999's Miles Davis and John Coltrane: The Complete Columbia Recordings 1955-1961, with an exclamation point.
The four discs here are taken from five concerts in March 1960: Two sets from L'Olympia in Paris, two at Stockholm's Konserthuset, and one from Copenhagen's Tivolis Koncertsal.
The three-week European tour was part of the Jazz at the Philharmonic series produced by George Wein.
Accounts from Davis and drummer Jimmy Cobb claim certifiable tension surrounding John Coltrane.
He left the band at the end of 1959 and reportedly had to be talked (hard) into taking the gig by Davis.
It was the trumpeter's first European tour as an international jazz star, and the band -- with Cobb, pianist Wynton Kelly, and bassist Paul Chambers were among the cats who recorded 1959's Kind of Blue.
