Featuring the majority of the band that would, a year later, release the absolute pinnacle of modal jazz, Kind Of Blue, Davis brought his group to the Newport festival in 1958 for a brilliant performance. Though the group doesn't play any songs from that record, instead focusing on classics like "Straight No Chaser", and "Bye Bye Blackbird" one can hear the whispers of that LP. Essential live jazz from the greatest trumpet player of all time, Miles Davis.
