| Description: | When Miles Davis played a special concert at New York's iconic Carnegie Hall
on May 19th, 1961 he was accompanied not only by his own Quintet, but also by
Gil Evans and his 21 piece Orchestra. It proved a controversial evening in some
respects and it was only recorded thanks to the perseverance of Miles' Producer
Teo Macero. It is reported that Miles suffered stage fright on the night of this
historical event and therefore did not want it to be recorded. But Macero secretly
managed to use the venue's mono recording equipment and captured the show
for posterity. However it yielded some superb performances that included some
extended versions of popular Davis compositions. Whatever the circumstances,
the Trumpeter was playing at his absolute best, spurred on to greater heights by
the expectations of his fellow musicians, Gil Evans and an enthusiastic audience.
