This release features a live performance at the Marciac Jazz Festival by "WE WANT MILES!"—a tribute group led by Marcus Miller and composed of Miles Davis alumni, reuniting to mark the centenary of Miles's birth. The recording is remastered from the FM broadcast master. Billed as a tribute to Miles Davis, the setlist consists entirely of tracks from Miles's albums, and the spoken interludes include references to Miles himself. While the spoken segments are included in their entirety (uncut), a downside of this title is the frequent overlap of French DJ commentary and French translations of Marcus's remarks; these interruptions occur at various points, including during Marcus's speeches and at the start of songs. Additionally, there is some noise—likely introduced during the broadcast—present from the opening through the middle of "FAT TIME." Despite these flaws, the audio quality is outstanding, as it originates from a soundboard recording. As the label has released several live recordings from this same period, we hope you will compare them and choose the one that best suits your preferences—though seasoned Miles aficionados might well find it worthwhile to listen to them all.
