I assume the 1959 OP box is the same tracklisting as this one. Glad to see it's back in print, though.

‘Miles Davis & John Coltrane – The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6’ Out March 23 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.

Reports that Paul Buckmaster has passed away. Seems to be confirmed by his management company.

Thanks for this post, not an album I was familiar with. Interestingly, one of the versions erroneously lists the session date as September 6th.

Looks like there is an earlier thread on that one:

From this interview: JW: Is Fresh Sound affiliated with Lone Hill?JP: Not at all. Fresh Sound is my label, and it’s based in Barcelona, Spain. It’s not affiliated with any other jazz label. Many people believe that all labels coming from Andorra or Spain are related to Fresh Sound. This is simply not true.

November 3, 1957

Don't really know much about this, but have seen it listed on ebay and a few places: Wes Montgomery BBC Jazz 625 +5 1965 Looks like it's the same label that did the Bud Powell recent release. Few old threads on the Jazz 625 program.

Set on eBay for twelve bucks. One of my favorites.

WKCR: THELONIOUS MONK CENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY BROADCAST

This NYT article from June has a little more info on Concord's ownership changes. For Concord Bicycle, the Imagem acquisition will cap a busy period of deal making. Four years ago, Wood Creek Capital Management, a private equity affiliate of MassMutual, bought the Concord Music Group, a record label that had built a business catering to adult tastes with Paul McCartney, the Stax soul catalog and a joint label with Starbucks. (Concord Bicycle is now owned by Barings Alternative Investments, the successor to Wood Creek; Sound Investors, led by the media executive Stephen Smith; and others.) Then, in 2015, Concord merged with the Bicycle Music Company, a publisher, and the combined company made a series of deals for new kinds of music: Wind-Up Records and Razor & Tie brought hard rock and the popular “Kidz Bop” series; a deal for Musart added Latin music; a deal with the music executive Tom Whalley for his label Loma Vista added alternative acts like St. Vincent; and there was a partnership with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Group.
