Miles Davis Quintet at Peacock Alley is an unauthorized bootleg album by jazz musician Miles Davis. It was released by Soulard Intertainment Co. in 1997.[1] The album consists of a two-part broadcast from the Peacock Alley jazz in St. Louis, Missouri.
Davis performed at the Peacock in July 1956 and February 1957.[2] [3] The sessions were hosted by Spider Burks, St. Louis' leading disc jockey and jazz disciple,"[4] during an engagement Davis had at the Peacock Alley on February 15-23, 1957.[5]
The broadcasts for this album have sometimes been dated as July 14 and July 21, 1956 for KXLW-AM, but Burks had been fired from KXLW-AM on July 11, 1956.[6] He was later hired by KSTL-AM and he broadcast his radio show from the Peacock Alley every Saturday.
