Take a look at this set from France:

For the first time these 10 CDs bring together the musical production of Miles Davis, one of the greatest jazz musicians, outside the studio (in concerts, clubs, radio programmes) from 1948 to 1955. It allows us to appreciate the significant accomplishment from his debut as Benny Carter’s sideman up until his quintet with John Coltrane. All the pieces have been remastered to bring out their original tone. A careful phonic restoration has allowed them to be audible in the best possible way.

Well, that sounds a bit cheesy, but have a look at the contents! There's also a 3CD Sarah Vaughan Columbia set, and Louis Armstrong set with concerts from Nice and Philadelphia, listed here on Amazon.fr

There is much discussion of the classical sets on usenet. It seems someone from Sony France was let go recently, but left with primo copies lots of master material, so I don't know exactly the licensing trail, but apparently the technical standards (and materials accessed) are of very high quality.
