The Cellar Door Sessions is a 2005 reissue of several 1970 concerts given by Miles Davis, at the Washington, DC nightclub, The Cellar Door.

Significant portions of Davis' "Live-Evil" were edited and compiled from the music that appears on discs 5 and 6.

It is one of the few recordings that has Keith Jarrett playing electronic keyboards. "Live-Evil" and this collection are the only live recordings of John McLaughlin live performances with Miles Davis.
