I have the pleasure of closing the day with a page of jazz history, with Miles Davis' first European TV appearance, this being the oldest known footage with him performing.

It was filmed on December 7, 1957, for the French show “Au clair de la lune” and broadcast later on Christmas Day.

He's performing along with Barney Wilen (tenor saxophone), René Urtreger (piano), Pierre Michelot (double bass) and Kenny Clarke (drums).

I wish you all a beautiful evening and, just in case I won't be able to post tomorrow, a happy New Year!
