    2LP limited edition - gatefold sleeve - 180g vinyl audiophile pressing. Created in 1954 and originally based in Newport, Rhode Island, the Newport Jazz Festival became one of the most celebrated and emblematic jazz festivals in the world. Immortalized in 1958 by Bert Stern's movie Jazz on a Summer's Day, it provided the setting for some of the most talked about events in jazz history, such as Miles Davis' 1955 performance of 'Round Midnight (included here), which led to a resurgence in his career.

    Presented here are Miles Davis' two earliest Newport performances in their entireties.
