"The Complete Columbia
Recordings"
Between 1955 and 1959, with occasional
changes in personnel, trumpeter Miles Davis led a simply extraordinary
small band that changed the course of jazz. This quintet/sextet
primarily spotlighted saxophonist John Coltrane but also included
such greats as alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley; pianists
Red Garland, Bill Evans, and Wynton Kelly; bassist Paul Chambers;
and drummers Philly Joe Jones and Jimmy Cobb. The Complete Columbia
Recordings of Davis and Coltrane's comprise such fabled Davis
albums as 'Round About Midnight, Milestones, Jazz at the Plaza,
Volume 1, Someday My Prince Will Come, and the legendary Kind
of Blue. Also included are the Davis-with-Coltrane selections
that appeared on Miles and Monk at Newport, Jazz Track, Basic
Miles, and Circle in the Round. In all, the set boasts 60 tracks,
of which 18 are previously unreleased--14 of them complete takes. |
