Miles Davis
Merci Miles! Live At Vienne
(Rhino)
★★★★
JAZZ fans are in for a real treat. Merci Miles! is a two-CD album of a previously unreleased Miles Davis Group concert in Vienne, France, from July 1991 — one of Davis’s final live performances before he died a few months later.
The set is largely sourced from his recent records, such as 1987’s Tutu and Amandla two years later, although, tantalisingly, it also includes two tracks written for him by Prince.
