By 1991, the world's most celebrated trumpeter could look back on five decades of musical evolution - his own, and that of the world around him. Miles Davis had found ways of marrying jazz with classical ideas, then later R&B, rock and funk, producing hybrid offspring that shaped the course of popular music and had come to define his legend. Miles Davis' performance at Jazz a Vienne on July 1, 1991 became one of his final live performances before he passed away on September 28, 1991, and this previously unreleased set includes two songs written by Prince, 'Penetration' and 'Jailbait'. The package features liner notes from music historian, journalist, and producer Ashley Kahn, with art designed by Bruno Tilley.

An 8 CD set of all the music Miles Davis recorded for Warner Bros., the final record contract of his career, spanning from 1986 -1991. This transition, leaving Columbia Records and recording for Warner, also marked a noted change in style, which had polarized responses from fans. Influences from Pop (Tutu and Amandla) and hip-hop (Doo-Bop), new and more involved production techniques, and frequent collaborations flavored the period. It also may have re-fueled Davis' career, earning him 2 Grammies, selling better than some of his more recent work, and prompting frequent touring in the final 15 years.
