Qwest is "an extraordinary new trove of sixty-six concert films", with performances ranging from the nineteen-fifties through the nineteen-eighties, New Yorker reports. It is a streaming site and TV channel, founded in 2017 by Quincy Jones, featuring many of the twentieth-century heroes of Black music like Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin and James Brown, as well as some rarely seen jazz artists like Thelonious Monk, Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Ahmad Jamal...

The full arc of Miles Davis’s sound, and life, forms the basis of 'Birth of the Cool', a two-hour film created for the PBS series American Masters, but at the center of it stands 'Bitches Brew', Davis' pivotal album that altered the trajectory of jazz, messed with the boundaries of funk, and pushed psychedelic rock to new heights of exploration. Docu covers everything from Davis’s ravenous creative development to his ever-evolving fashion sense, to his complex relationship with women.

The best selling vinyl album in the 2010s in the USA was 'Abbey Road' by the Beatles, selling in 558,000 copies. In fact, all the biggest vinyl albums of the past 10 years are older performers like Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Miles Davis... Only two albums actually released in the 2010s appear on the list: the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' soundtrack - which is entirely comprised of songs released in the ’60s and ’70s, and Lana Del Rey’s 'Born to Die'. The only album from the noughties on the list is Amy Winehouse's 'Back to Black'. No album from the 1990s on the list.

The album marked another radical shift in direction for Miles Davis, enlisting musicians from across the funk and soul spectrum. It was even due to feature vocalists Al Jarreau and Chaka Khan. The finished edition now also features new vocals recorded by Lalah Hathaway and Ledisi. It's coming out in September, the Vinyl Factory reports.
