Miles Davis - What It Is: Montreal, 7/7/83 (RSD 2022)

This double LP release features one of Miles Davis' final great bands including John Scofield on guitar, Bill 'The Other Bill Evans' Evans on saxophones, flute and electric piano, Darryl Jones on bass, Al Foster on drums and percussionist Mino Cinelu. This release is the first time this revelatory performance has been released. It has been lovingly mixed and mastered and will be included on CD and digitally in the next edition of the Miles Davis Bootleg series that focuses on the 1981-1985 period, coming later in the year, but the Record Store Day release would be its exclusive release on vinyl. Packaged in beautiful gatefold packaging the album features liner notes penned by the incomparable music journalist Greg Tate and represent some of his final writing.
