This is a half-hour TV program, The Sound of Miles Davis, which was broadcast on CBS in April 1959. It starts with the Miles Davis Quintet doing "So What?" from Kind of Blue. In addition to Miles, they are John Coltrane, tenor sax; Wynton Kelly, piano; Paul Chambers, bass; and Jimmy Cobb, drums. Then they're joined by Gil Evans and the Orchestra to do three songs from Miles Ahead, "The Duke," "Blues for Pablo," and "New Rhumba."
The director, Jack Smight, did dozens of TV dramas and 17 feature films, i.e., Harper, with Paul Newman. The announcer is Robert Herridge, whom I don't remember at all.
