Miles Davis broke up his ‘First Great Quintet’ in 1956 as a consequence of John Coltrane’s severe heroin addiction - Miles, having recovered from his own addiction, fired Coltrane and drummer Philly Joe Jones in March 1956 due to their struggles with the drug - At the same time Miles was struggling with the racial tensions and prejudice he suffered in the U.S., as well as his growing infamy and bad reputation domestically - Miles had previously toured Paris in 1949 and relished the experience of performing in front of a more accepting audience.
In order to advance his career and enjoy some respite from his turbulent home, Miles accepted an offer to tour Europe with a new group of musicians - They were named the ‘Birdland All Stars’, and included Lester Young, the Modern Jazz Quartet, and many other top-tier jazzmen. These recordings are the only ones in history to feature both Miles and Lester, and took place over several concerts from the tour.
