This track is from my favorite era in Miles Davis' career, funky, cool, assured, and with subtle hints of the adventurism that would follow. * Miles Davis - Trumpet * John Coltrane - Tenor saxophone * Philly Joe Jones - Drums * Red Garland - Piano * Paul Chambers - Bass >>>>And to whom it may concern. Thanks for the emails & Mogmails, I appreciate the words of encouragement, and I laugh at the bilious screeds. Its good to know that there are... MORE

Another favorite from The Miles Davis Quintet, as they take on Sonny Rollins' "Oleo". For my money John Coltrane almost steals this show. The sense of shared adventure and simple joy of collaboration shines through so well in these sessions. They are not so much walkin' tightropes as they are rompin'. I've long thought of these sessions as seminal moments in the careers of both men, as they each set out on their own tortured path of discovery. Here they pay tribu... MORE

This band is so distinct sounding...Herbie's playing, especia... MORE

I was looking around on iTunes last week and I found the best music deal I've ever seen on it a Miles Davis tune. The cut is called "Circle in the Round" which I found years ago when I get handed a gratis copy of Miles Davis Quintet, 1965 - 68: The Complete Columbia Studios Recordings. The tune (found on disc 4) clocks in at a sit-com shattering 33:35 or about .25 cents for every 7 and a half minutes...that's hella tight! A bargain, no matter where you're from! I've long b... MORE

A post from Crash referencing Miles was a good excuse to share this sublime slice, the lineup that recorded Kind Of Blue at a theatre somewhere in France. It's from a very obscure French album called 'No Blues', ripped from my friend in great taste, Murphy.
