Plot

Miles Davis – Montreux Jazz Festival (1989) captures the legendary trumpeter's electric-era performance at the Casino de Montreux on July 21, 1989, as part of the annual Montreux Jazz Festival. The set brought together a tight band featuring Rick Margitza (tenor sax), Kei Akagi (keyboards), Adam Holzman (keyboards), Joe "Foley" McCreary and Benny Rietveld (basses), Ricky Wellman (drums), and Monyungo Jackson (percussion), with a guest appearance by Chaka Khan on "Human Nature". Nestled in the electric fusion phase of his career, the performance weaves together introspective originals like "Intruder," "New Blues," "Perfect Way," "Hannibal," and "Tutu," with emotive reinterpretations of pop repertoire.
