The Cellar Door Sessions 1970

by Miles Davis

Encompassing six complete sets from a legendary December 1970 residency at a tiny Washington D.C. club, this expansive box set offers the unedited source material for the 'Live-Evil' album. The addition of guitarist John McLaughlin mid-run pushes the incredibly tight septet into deep, aggressive funk-rock territory defined by Michael Henderson's anchor basslines. It provides a fascinating, immersive look into the rapid, nightly evolution of Davis’s electric vision.
