  • Columbia/Legacy Recordings Announce Release of Miles Davis & John Coltrane – The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6 on March 23, 2018
  • Dec 08

NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Columbia/Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release Miles Davis & John Coltrane The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6 on March 23, 2018.

Album Artwork

Miles Davis & John ColtraneThe Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6 is available for pre-order now at https://lnk.to/TheFinalTour.

Available in 4CD boxset and digital configurations, Miles Davis & John Coltrane The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6 brings together, for the first time in an authorized edition with state-of-the-art production, five mythic concert performances as heard by lucky audiences during the epochal Spring 1960 Jazz At The Philharmonic European Tour.

Showcasing the musical chemistry shared by Miles and Trane, The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6 offers five of the best recorded shows from that pivotal 1960 tour (Coltrane’s last as sideman): two shows from Paris’s L’Olympia Theater on Monday, March 21; two shows from the next night at Stockholm’s Konserthuset; and one from Copenhagen’s Tivolis Koncertsal three days later, on March 24.

The box set was produced by the multi-Grammy winning team of producers Steve Berkowitz, Michael Cuscuna and Richard Seidel. And mastered by multi-Grammy winning Sony Music engineer Mark Wilder. The set is authorized for official release by the Miles Davis Estate, the John Coltrane Estate, and Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings.

Miles Davis and John Coltrane were each implementing their own jazz revolutions at the time these recordings were made and the electrifying sonic frisson produced by the sometimes-competing/sometimes-intertwining musical visions of the artists perplexed contemporary jazz fans–many of whom were just getting acquainted with the recently-released and now iconic Kind of Blue.

“Much happened on that 1960 tour onstage and off, including powerful, emotionally charged performances in which one can hear the swinging, divergent energy of a band, and the unfiltered reactions of the European audiences: the crowd responses are indeed an inherent part of these historic performances,” writes Grammy Award®-winning music historian Ashley Kahn in his in-depth revelatory liner notes penned especially for this collection. “The common judgement on this music is that it represents a great jazz ensemble audibly straining to hold itself together…An equally convincing interpretation of the 1960 situation is that Miles and his quintet were redefining what a great band could sound like, and how much music it could contain—at one time, in one concert, even in one tune. It’s not that the bandmembers were so much apart, but rather that each were more themselves within the same unit—that divergence could co-exist and make music together.”

The  repertoire performed in this collection is a veritable Miles Davis “Greatest Hits” including ” ‘Round Midnight”, “Bye Bye Blackbird”, “On Green Dolphin Street”, “Walkin’ “, “All Of You” and “Oleo”, all of which he had made his own and had been performing for some time. As well as more recent additions to the repertoire which were composed by Davis – “So What” and “All Blues” —  both from Kind Of Blue.

The Final Tour is essential listening, an invitation to travel through time to experience the enduring beauty and magic of Miles and Trane at the peak of their collective powers. The ensemble includes Miles Davis (trumpet), John Coltrane (tenor sax), Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Jimmy Cobb (drums), all of whom had been performing together since the Kind Of Blue album. 

The Final Tour closes with a rare contemporaneous audio interview with John Coltrane (conducted by Swedish deejay Carl-Erik Lindgren). “Do you feel angry?,” asks Lindgren. “No, I don’t,” says Coltrane. “I was talking to a fellow the other day, and I told him, the reason I play so many sounds, maybe it sounds angry, I’m trying so many things at one time. I haven’t sorted them out.” 

Originally broadcast on European radio in March 1960, these concert recordings have been long sought after and prized by collectors and are now officially available at last as the latest installment in Columbia/Legacy’s acclaimed Miles Davis Bootleg Series.

For 12″ vinyl collectors and audiophiles, Columbia/Legacy will release The Final Tour: Copenhagen, March 24, 1960 as a single 12″ vinyl album.

A 2LP 12″ vinyl edition of Miles Davis & John ColtraneThe Final Tour: Paris, March 21, 1960 will be reissued exclusively through Vinyl Me, Please as part of their new VMP Classics subscription featuring the best jazz, blues & soul reissues on 180g black vinyl with exclusive listening notes. Available by signing up at http://www.vinylmeplease.com/

New York, NY – August 25, 2015 – Sony Music Entertainment today announced it has acquired the Century group of labels, one of the world’s largest independents.

A global leader in rock, prog rock, heavy metal, alternative, post punk and hardcore, Century, led by founder Robert Kampf, is home to artists such as Lacuna Coil, Arch Enemy, Queensryche, Kansas, Devin Townsend, Steve Hackett, and Stitched Up Heart.

The expanded relationship builds upon Sony Music’s existing successful distribution relationship with Century Media through RED.

Bob Morelli, President, RED Distribution said, “We are thrilled to be further strengthening our successful partnership with Robert Kampf and his great team through Sony Music’s expanded global relationship with Century Media.

I am tremendously excited to work with the outstanding executive teams at Sony Music and RED to further grow Century’s labels as a dominant force in rock, prog, alternative and metal. The sky is the limit.”

Founded by Robert Kampf in Dortmund, Germany in 1989, Century Media Records is recognized around the globe as a dominating force within their specialized market, and one of the world’s premier labels for metal, hard rock and hardcore. Always at the forefront of emerging styles and scenes, Century Media gives bands rooted in the underground opportunities to grow their audiences through international touring, commercial radio play, and music placement in high-profile films, TV and commercials.

 

About Century Media

The Century Group delivers exciting, unique music and pushes the envelope of a myriad of musical expressions. It built its reputation and worldwide fan base through the extreme diversity of its roster. Century’s mission was to have something for everyone, regardless of ethnicity, race or gender. It became a global sensation built from the underground up to eye-popping, Billboard charting successes. Its artists include the Italian female-fronted, hard rock force, LACUNA COIL, which is still hailed, 20 years after their inception, as one of the main innovators of their genre. Now in 2015, with artists including NEW YEARS DAY, THE BUTCHER BABIES and the New Zealand-based LIKE A STORM, one of the premiere heavy acts of their country, Century is introducing a whole new slew of exciting artists to the hard rock/metal world.

  • “New Music Fridays” Are Coming: Global Release Day Launches July 10
  • Jun 11
 

– An aligned single global release day for music takes effect on July 10

– Tracks and albums to be released at 12:01 AM on Fridays each week in over 45 countries

 – Music fans will no longer have to wait for days to enjoy new releases

 

For music fans across the world, Fridays are set to become the day for newly-released music.

July 10, 2015 will see the introduction of “New Music Fridays”, an aligned global release day for new music. The move, implemented by labels, retailers and artists internationally, means that fans in many countries will no longer have to wait for days to get access to newly-released tracks and albums.

Up until now, music has been released on different days of the week in various countries – from Mondays in markets such as France and the UK, through Tuesdays in the US and Canada and to Fridays in markets such as Australia and Germany. That will change on July 10 when new music will be released on Fridays at 12:01 AM local time around the world.

The move will mean fans can now get new music on the same day worldwide rather than having to wait for their own national release day. It puts an end to fans being unable to access music in their own country when it is legally available elsewhere, and the frustration that can cause.

Think new music…Think Friday

“New Music Fridays” are an opportunity for artists and labels to maximise awareness of newly-released music. Whatever country they are in, fans will now know – Friday is not just the start of the weekend – it’s the day for new music. This can help create more excitement and a sense of occasion around the release of new albums and singles.

With just one month to go before “New Music Fridays” takes effect, today sees the unveiling of the “New Music Fridays” brand that will accompany the move. It will be available in more than 10 languages worldwide.

Consumers looking for information on the switch to a Friday release day can visitwww.newmusicfridays.com which has all the details of the changes taking place.

Switchover plan

The preparations for the switchover to “New Music Fridays” have involved record companies, distributors and retailers working together to reconfigure their supply chains and marketing practices. At the same time, music charts in some countries are changing so that they align with the new international release day.

The move to “New Music Fridays” will take place in more than 45 recorded music markets worldwide.. Of these, 11 countries currently release music on Fridays, while the others will switch the day that new albums and singles become available.

The switch to global “New Music Fridays” has been overseen by an international steering group made up of the following organisations:

– IFPI, representing some 1,300 record labels worldwide;
– WIN-Impala, representing independent record labels worldwide
– FIM, representing musicians’ unions and associations globally
– Featured Artists Coalition representing UK performers;
– Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) (UK),
– Music Biz (US)

  • Garth Brooks, Sony Music Entertainment Announce Highly Anticipated New Music, World Tour and Going Digital
  • Jul 10

New York – July 10, 2014 – Singer/songwriter Garth Brooks will release his first album of all-new material in more than a decade under a new agreement with Sony Music, it was announced today by Brooks and Sony Music Entertainment CEO Doug Morris at a press conference in Nashville.

Under the worldwide deal, Garth, who in 2000, was certified by the RIAA as the #1-selling solo artist in U. S. history, will put out a new solo album on or about Black Friday in November through his own Pearl imprint in conjunction with Sony Music’s RCA Nashville that will be listed as a Pearl/RCA Nashville release.  Sony Music will provide distribution services and collaborate in marketing efforts, as RCA Nashville will promote singles at country radio. Additionally, for the first time ever, Garth catalogue music and as well as the new studio album will be available digitally, exclusively through his website at GarthBrooks.com, beginning with catalogue content in the next few weeks.

The worldwide entertainer, who has sold 134 million albums to date and has amassed virtually every music award possible, also confirmed his highly-anticipated world tour, with the first city scheduled to be announced on July 15.

“Words cannot express how excited I am to get to make new music and tour again,” remarked Garth. “I cannot thank Sony Music and RCA Nashville enough for making that dream a reality.”

Said Morris, “Garth Brooks is one of the most accomplished and beloved artists of all time. We are thrilled he is joining the Sony Music family, and excited to be joining forces with him to bring much anticipated new music to his many fans around the world.”

“Garth redefined the parameters of what country music could be, and what it could accomplish. We are beyond proud that he’s chosen to begin the next chapter of an extraordinary career with us,” said Sony Music Nashville Chairman & CEO Gary Overton.

Fans were able to see this morning’s news unfold in real time on GarthBrooks.com, where the press conference aired via Livestream, with Brooks’ site poised for an official re-launch on July 15.

About Garth Brooks

Since his first single, “Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old),” debuted at country radio in 1989, Garth Brooks has taken 25 singles to the #1 position on country airplay charts and his albums have spent more weeks at #1 on sales charts than any other artist since the inception of SoundScan. Garth has received six RIAA Diamond Awards, each commemorating 10 million albums sold – and, he is the only solo artist in RIAA history to have accomplished this feat.

In 2001, Garth retired and moved back to Oklahoma to raise his children. In 2008 The President Elect, himself, requested that Garth headline President Obama’s Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. A crowd of over 300,000 did the “wave” to Garth’s performance of “Shout” while the President sang along. That same year the Governor of California asked Garth to help the State. Garth performed 5 concerts in 2 days with the proceeds from 83,000 tickets sold donated to efforts to prevent fire catastrophes. Portions of the live concerts were shown as a TV special, “Garth Brooks: Live in L.A.” allowing viewers to donate as well.

In December 2010, Garth finished an astonishing 9 sold out concerts in 6 days to raise money for the flood relief efforts in Tennessee. ABC World News Tonight declared Garth The Person of the Week and the Mayor of Nashville announced that this was a record December for downtown Nashville merchants due to the over 145,000 who attended the concerts.

In January, 2012 he was named the best selling artist of the last two decades by Billboard, Nielsen and SoundScan, with a whopping 68.5 million sales. Brooks also sold out his recent appearance at the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede. The sell out 15,000+ seats happened in less than a minute. Garth was recently inducted into the International Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York as well as the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. In October he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Performing for his induction were his heroes George Strait, James Taylor and Bob Seger. On November 29th, 2013, Garth took the night with almost nine million viewers watching his CBS special “Live From Las Vegas.” That very day Garth released his new boxed set, Blame It All On My Roots, which debuted for the 13th time in Garth’s career at #1 on the country charts. The boxed set also rose to the top of the Billboard 200 Chart making it the 9th time Garth has been able to achieve that feat.

Garth recently broke another record when he sold out 5 consecutive dates at Croke Park in Dublin, a feat no other artist had achieved. In fact, over 400,000 tickets were sold. Just after this feat, Garth’s performance of “Friends in Low Places” was the last thing heard on The Tonight Show as Jay Leno ended his 22 year reign as The Tonight Show host.
