Call it Miles Late Period. This is not Kind of Blue.

He was in a delicate condition when he recorded his first live performance in over six years.

Rehearsals were mostly jam sessions, though technical preparations were meticulous and included the development of a wireless system for Davis's trumpet. The younger band members were somewhat disconcerted by the looseness of the rehearsals (Stern especially was worried), but this organization, with no music written down beyond basic song structures, was exactly what Miles wanted.
