Miles Davis - Olympia 11 Octobre 1960, Part 1 (1999)

The marvel is that Miles called on Sonny to replace Coltrane in the first place. But Wayne Shorter wanted to stay on with Art Blakey, so the most complete and polished bebop player of them all, a saxophonist embodying, but not extending beyond, the previous tradition took the coveted chair. Until these recordings came to light–of a 1960 Paris concert in October (there's an earlier Paris date the same year, only with Coltrane)–it was assumed the Stitt edition of Miles' group had never been recorded.
