Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall: The Legendary Performances of May 19, 1961 is a live album by American jazz musician Miles Davis originally released by Columbia in 1962.




Background


This live performance features Davis with his regular quintet and accompanied by Gil Evans and his 21-piece orchestra. The orchestra and quintet together perform selections from Miles Ahead and Sketches of Spain, while the quintet by itself performs both Davis originals and standards by Sonny Rollins and Ahmad Jamal, among others.
Although Davis and Evans recorded multiple albums together, there were only two live performances ever with both quintet and orchestra. On top of the rarity of the occasion, the Carnegie Hall recording features a few one-offs: the only recordings of the Gil Evans-orchestrated introduction to "So What" and a version of "Spring Is Here," again arranged by Evans.
