Miles '58 CD cover

Miles '58

In 1958 Miles Davis performed and recorded with his ground breaking sextet, Miles on trumpet, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley on alto sax, John Coltrane on tenor, Bill Evans on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Some of these moments were captured and later reissued on CD under the title of Miles '58.

Serious jazz enthusiasts who don't already have this material should consider adding this to their collection. Musicians will marvel at the transformation of old chestnuts into new and refreshing aural delicacies. As Miles evolved over the years, his magic for turning simple forms into dynamic and soulful works of art never faded, as is illustrated in these early sessions.
