MILES DAVIS THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL.7: THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED 1982-1985 Limited Vinyl 2LP Set

Overview:

That’s What Happened 1982-1985: Bootleg Volume 7 is the next instalment in the celebrated, award-winning archival series that began in 2011, shining an in-depth light onto different eras of the legendary career of Miles Davis and is now available as a white double vinyl. This double LP collects highlights of Bootleg Volume 7 with over 80 minutes of unreleased studio material from 1982 to 1985 on white vinyl. Side men include a multi-generational who’s who of jazz talent from JJ Johnson, Al Foster and John Scofield to Mike Stern, Marcus Miller and Daryl Jones. The LP comes in white colour. The CD set collects nearly 4 hours of unreleased music including 2 CDs of studio material from 1982 to 1985 including his unreleased studio material–from the Star People, Decoy and You’re Under Arrest sessions, plus another CD containing a complete, blistering show of one of Miles’ last amazing bands captured live at the Festival International De Jazz De Montreal in July 1983. Side men include a multi-generational who’s who of jazz talent from JJ Johnson, John McLaughlin, Al Foster and John Scofield to Mike Stern, Marcus Miller, Daryl Jones and Vince Wilburn. In the 1980s, popular music had moved to a smoother, electronic-based sound that traded the steam of previous years for subdued arrangements meant to elicit peace and deep reflection. Miles Davis embraced this era, pulling inspiration from FM radio and an upstart music video channel called MTV. He was searching for the next frontier, letting his creativity roam. This music on The Bootleg Series Vol. 7 captures that exploration and finds Miles beginning to re-emerge in a creative landscape far different than the one he left in 1975. He’s touched every inch of pop culture while keeping true to his iconoclastic vision of jazz as amorphous art that’s supposed to bend and flow and mutate to something else. On The Bootleg Series Vol. 7, we get to play in the rubble of what would become yet another period of unprecedented innovation. Beauty resides in evolution. The album was produced by the multi-GRAMMY winning team of producers Steve Berkowitz, Michael Cuscuna and Richard Seidel and mastered by multi-GRAMMY winning Sony Music engineer Mark Wilder.
