A set of extras included:

* New interview with actress Jeanne Moreau (2005, 18 mins)
* Archival interviews with Louis Malle (1975, 17:06), actors Maurice Ronet (1975, 4:37) and original soundtrack session pianist René Urtreger (14:43)

* Interview - Malle and Moreau at Cannes (1993, 10:40) * "Miles goes modal" - new video program about the score with jazz trumpeter Jon Faddis and critic Gary Giddins (25:01)
* Malle's student film "Crazeologie", featuring the title song by Charlie Parker (1954, 6:17)
* Original theatrical trailer and Rialto release trailer
* Soundtrack - Jean-Paul Rappeneau, a jazz fan and Malle's assistant at the time, suggested asking Miles Davis to create the film's soundtrack - possibly inspired by the Modern Jazz Quartet's recording for Roger Vadim's Sait-on jamais (Does One Ever Know), released a few months earlier in 1957. Miles was booked to perform at the Club St-Germain in Paris for November 1957. Rappeneau introduced him to Malle, and Miles agreed to record the music after attending a private screening. On December 4, he brought his four sidemen to the Le Poste Parisien recording studio without having had them prepare anything. Miles only gave the musicians a few rudimentary harmonic sequences he had assembled in his hotel room, and, once the plot was explained, the band improvised without any precomposed theme, while edited loops of the musically relevant film sequences were projected in the background. Jazz Track, an album that contains ten songs from this soundtrack, received a 1960 Grammy nomination for Best Jazz Performance, Solo or Small Group. This upload is also containing all of the outtakes and raw recordings without reverb which were previously unreleased. Personnel include Miles Davis on Trumpet, Barney Wilgen on tenor sax, Rene Urteger on piano, Pierre Michelot on bass, and Kenny Clarke on drums


Tracks 1-16 are released for the first time, tracks 17-26 are the original release from 1958.

As they look into the case, Nick and Nora learn that Drake wasn't very well liked and there are actually several people who benefited from his death. Drake owed money to loan shark Al Amboy, and Janet's father disliked Brant and may have set him up. Drake's girlfriend may have been having a fling with clarinetist Buddy Hollis, and he and Drake had a fist fight on stage during the festivities. Nick arranges for another party on the same boat where Nora notices something quite peculiar about one of the guest's jewelry.
