Miles Davis - Miles Davis and The Modern Jazz Giants

Here are four tracks from one of the classic sessions of all time when a combination of giants gathered in Rudy Van Gelder's studio for an historic meeting on Christmas Eve afternoon and early dark, 1954. With Thelonious Mok and 3/4 of the Modern Jaz Quartet (Jackson, Heath, and Clarke) as his accomplices. Miles blends sophisticated harmonic knowledge with raw, spontaneous invention to produce extraodinary music. The two takes of "The Man I Love" are quite different within their basic similarity. An added starter is "Round Midnight" done by the great Davis quintet of 1956-Coltrane, Garland, Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones.
