Concert recording, broadcast by Europe-1
Great bands often have sown within them the seeds of their own destruction. A talented sideman will spend their time with a leader gaining experience, confidence, plaudits, and fame. Generally, the next move is to form their own band. Great artistic statements are often made by groups on the brink of imploding.
So it proved with Miles Davis' Kind of Blue sextet. First out was Bill Evans; indeed, he had already left by the time KoB was recorded, replaced by Wynton Kelly. Miles invited his ex-pianist back for the session, having concieved of music based on Bill's impressionistic playing. Next to go was altoist Cannonball Adderley, who had often recorded and performed alongside his brother, cornettist Nat, since the pair arrived in New York in the summer of 1955. They decided the time was right to form a new working band.
John Coltrane, too, had recorded as a leader for Prestige, Roulette and Blue Note but signing to Atlantic Records in 1959 brought about a creative rebirth- less than two weeks after the final KoB session, Trane started recording his classic Giant Steps, followed later in the year by Coltrane Jazz with the Davis rhythm section. He was ready to strike out on his own. Davis, however, was reluctant to lose another key player and persuaded Coltrane to stay for one final tour of Europe in the spring of 1960.
This was the first date of Norman Granz' three week Jazz At The Philharmonic package tour, where Davis shared the bill with Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio. The date was crisply recorded by Europe 1 radio, and the repertoire consists of some of Davis' recent hit recordings, plus two pieces from Kind Of Blue, released the previous summer, So What and All Blues.
Davis plays superbly at this gig- he seems to be in a very good period for his chops and he plays with a great deal of expression, subtlety, strength and poise. A device often used on the standard tunes is an extended, repeated turnaround at the end of the form over which the soloist plays, ending it with a melodic cue to signal a break into the next soloist (an early version of the 'coded phrases' Davis would deploy to introduce the next tune in the continuous sets of the late 60s and 1970s). Wynton Kelly is also brilliant across these recordings, an often undervalued pianist in the pantheon of Davis accompanists; he plays with impeccable swing, taste and drive and his dialogues with Davis are consistently fascinating. And Chambers and Cobb are there every step of the way. One of the great rhythm sections in jazz.
But the real revelation is Coltrane. A reluctant participant in the tour he apparently remained in a sour mood, rarely conversing and spending his free time practicing obsessively. He brings this tension to the bandstand- he seems determined to experiment publicly, pushing the limits of the saxophone and of his own playing. This was different even to the advanced 'sheets of sound' one might have been familiar with from recent Coltrane records or Kind Of Blue. Here, Trane utilises melodic cells that repeat and mutate, there is overblowing, split tones, multiphonics, altissimo register phrases above the tenor's normal range, anguished cries, lightning fast arpeggios, purposely out of key phrases, harmonies stacked on harmonies.
Jazz relies on tension and release but here Trane is adding tension on top of tension, often at great length- Coltrane once said to Davis "it seems like when I get going, I just don't know how to stop," to which Miles replied, with typical dryness, "why don't you try taking the horn out of your mouth?". Still, Davis allowed Trane the space to conduct his experiments, perhaps sensing he was working towards something revolutionary. If Coltrane's intention was to provoke the audience it worked- often, parts of the crowd erupt with boos and catcalls, while others are cheering. Modern jazz is splitting into warring factions before our ears. More than sixty years on it remains viscerally exciting.
More than just a fortunate recording of the Davis quintet on a good night, this is a crucial document in modern jazz. And it's a blast to listen to.

Follow up to my earlier 'comment': Miles Davis 5tet at the Olympia (Paris) 1960. Near the end of this concert, some 'fans' sitting down front by the stage threw objects toward the stage. The thin see-thru curtains were closing, musicians were still on stage, and then the heavier curtains closed. Mr. Perry, my teacher who brought me to this show from Orleans, 70 miles south of Paris, explained this untoward behavior with the comment, "some evidently did not like Miles Davis turning his back to the audience." During my time in France (1959-1965) saw Coltrane 4tet and Monk 4tet at the Olympia; also Jacques Brel and Charles Aznavour and Gilbert Becaud. Great venue for music no doubt.

Coltrane paints brush strokes with his sax. Sound painting.
Came back to take another listen on June 12, 2020. And yep, it's still INCREDIBLE! I truly believe that NO ONE will EVER match this man's talents on the tenor saxophone! Oh, at this recording he wasn't yet 34 years old!

A raise of my drink to you. Im back here on Sept.25.2020. This Friday night, we threw the kids and grandkids, and the hip hop out the house. So the Wife and I can focus and dance with the essential beauty of this recording.....
As a Guitarist/Bassist; pure clear preserved 60 year old jazz can be heard through the thick wound gaged bass string slapping against the Maple wood fret board while the Bassist enters into the lower register of his solo! Beautiful!

Love Coltrane.
The Olympia Theatre in Paris is still alive as a venue for music.
I would like to make a special mention to Wynton Kelly, the best piano accompanist for musicians of the level of Davis and Coltrane.

Miles was also a genius at spotting talent
Damn!!! Coltrane entered into another dimension on that blues! At 53 minutes he goes off past the planet Pluto. 58 years later at this writing 12/04/2018, still NO ONE has reached those heights yet! How it must have sounded to this crowd in 1960 had to be staggering! Now to "Bye Bye Blackbird": Miles is so 'laid' back, it's like he's not sure what to play (and we all no that's not true). He's the master of 'space', letting 'it" have a turn. Man, what a genius! Now, for Coltrane. He's the complete opposite. He's not only playing notes on the saxophone, he's creating notes that don't exist. They say that the "Milky Way" has more stars than one can count (infinite). Well, Coltrane plays more notes than what's in the "Milky Way". End of discussion.

Yo Pepper. I read your comment because it's the first one to see, and I was listening and heard Trane blow a few notes (he said Thelonious Monk taught him how to do that btw- play two notes at once) and thought, "this must be the 53 minute mark", and sure enough...

Regrettably, "God" did not "bless" them - they both died heroin addicts. Over
Wynton Kelly"s solo on "So What" will always remain my favorite on any "So What" performance.
For those who haven't played jazz, this is about as incredible as it gets. It may sound like a lot of "noodling" and blue notes thrown in, but the level these guys are going to only sounds deceptively easy or abstract, they are Intentionally all over the place, because that is what it took to rise above and make something this beautiful and complex. This is pure genius. And all first takes, live in concert? THAT is how good these guys are. For that era, and for a live show, the audio is INCREDIBLY clear, so a giant 'thank you' to whoever recorded, mixed, and produced this!
