One of Miles Davis’ final live performances took place at France’s Jazz à Vienne festival on July 1, 1991, months before he died in September. 
Now, a recording of that set is being released for the first time: Merci Miles! Live at Vienne arrives June 25 as part of Rhino’s Black Music Month celebration. It features a selection of the songs performed that night, including Davis and his group’s renditions of Prince’s “Penetration” and “Jailbait.” Find the tracklist below.

The nine-song set, performed with The Miles Davis Group, featured material from Davis’ latter albums. Of particular note, he played “Penetration” and “Jailbait”, two songs written by Prince for Davis in 1988.
The release of Davis’ electrifying performance is part of Rhino’s Black Music Month celebration, and will be available digitally, as a two-CD, or as double LP set. The package includes liner notes from music historian and producer Ashley Kahn and artwork designed by Bruno Tilley.
