Miles Davis: Round About Midnight (Blue Vinyl LP)

Miles Davis: Round About Midnight on Blue vinyl LP via Columbia/Legacy (889397006198).

Round About Midnight (1957) is Miles Davis's debut for Columbia Records and one of the essential documents of his first great quintet — Davis, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones playing with a cool, searching intelligence that pointed toward everything that came next. The title track, Monk's standard rendered with aching restraint, remains one of the most recognisable performances in jazz. Blue vinyl pressing reissue.
