Legacy Announces Miles 75th Birthday Releases
Legacy Recordings announces that eight CD projects will be prepared for release this year to celebrate Miles Davis' 75th birthday. This week, on April 17th, five expanded catalog titles are being released: 'Round About Midnight, Milestones, Miles Davis At Newport 1958, Jazz At the Plaza, and a single-disc distillation from the box set Miles Davis & John Coltrane: The Best Of The Complete Columbia Recordings.

May 15th will see the release of The Essential Miles Davis, a 2-disc set that will cover several decades of Davis recordings on a variety of record labels, including Capitol, Prestige, Blue Note, Columbia, and Warner Brothers. This will be followed with the June 26th release of Miles Davis Live at the Fillmore East (March 7, 1970): It's About That Time. The live set includes Miles with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Jack DeJohnette, and Dave Holland.

In September, the 3-disc Complete In A Silent Way Sessions will allow listeners to follow the way in which Davis developed his first electric group. The musicians on this set include Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, and Joe Zawinul.

Miles Goes to Hollywood
The rights to the autobiography of the late Miles Davis have been purchased by producer Marvin Worth (Malcolm X, Lenny), reports Daily Variety. The biopic, currently in development at Columbia Pictures, will include music by the legendary musician, which Worth has obtained from his estate.
