  1. Key material from the Miles Davis Quintet with John Coltrane -- recorded on their famous 1960 European tour, and paired here with some other material from an earlier date! The first 5 tracks on the set feature Davis and Coltrane working with Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb -- on a live date from Zurich in April of 1960. Tracks are all quite long, with key Davis and Coltrane solo touches -- and include "Fran Dance", "If I Were A Bell", So What", and "All Blues". The last 4 tracks on the CD are from a Cafe Bohemia date in 1958 -- and feature a slightly different lineup that includes Bill Evans on piano and Philly Joe Jones on drums -- performing shorter, lighter takes on "Walkin", "Four", "Bye Bye Blackbird", and "Two Bass Hit".
