Featuring saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Chick Corea, bassist Dave Holland, and drummer Jack DeJohnette, this line-up became known as "The Miles Davis Lost Quintet" as it did not record in the studio in this configuration.

They performed twice at the Juan-les-Pins Festival, July 25 and 26. Columbia recorded both shows, but the music would not be released in its entirety until 2013. Music from this CD, which was recorded at the July 25 concert, and from the July 26 performance was included in the 2013 box set Live in Europe 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. 2.
