This week's StLJN Audio Archive material comes once again courtesy of the music sharing blog Nothing Is v2.0, and features Miles Davis' so-called "Lost Quintet" recorded live in 1969 in Paris.
Although this lineup of Davis' band never recorded as a five-piece - hence, the notion of their music being "lost" - it's basically the nucleus of the group that recorded Bitches Brew, with Davis on trumpet, Dave Holland on bass, Wayne Shorter on tenor and soprano sax, Jack DeJohnette on drums and Chick Corea on keyboards. There are two CDs worth of material; here's the program, from the post at Nothing Is:
