The Musings Of Miles...Miles Davis Quartet.

Ok...as I said at the beginning of this session of posts...be prepared for the different kind of music that you will be hearing when you decide to download some of the posts !

The Musings of Miles Review by Scott Yanow

Miles Davis was in the process of forming his first classic quintet when he recorded this date,  The trumpeter is featured on a quartet outing with pianist Red Garland, bassist Oscar Pettiford, and drummer Philly Joe Jones, playing four standards plus a blues ("Green Haze") and "I Didn't," his answer to Thelonious Monk's "Well, You Needn't." Garland and Jones would soon be in Miles' group, although the fiery Pettiford proved too difficult for the trumpeter to handle and was quickly succeeded by Paul Chambers. The interpretations are generally lyrical and melodic; even "A Night in Tunisia" sounds a bit mellow. Likable if not essential music.

1. A Gal In Calico.
