... love Red Garland's piano, gentle yet strong. Philly Joe Jones is one of my favorite drummers and I love Miles' conclusion here, sonorous and moody.
I hadn't even known that Miles recorded this song with his own band; thanks for posting.
I don't think Tunisia is all that nice right now, with the revolution and everything. Oh old times! <3 I'm tempted to comment on my wonderful taste in music XD
When Miles was in Bird's band recording his first set, he refused to play this song because it was "too hard". Man, he really figured things out on this recording. This guy is legend.
chido por el miles, pero el toque parker y gillespie faltaron... yo no se que comida haya sido central en la gastronomía gringa de esa época, pero dizzy y charlie eran como los frijoles y tortilla.. miles pudo haber sido el chile pero le faltó potencia
@FurlanPaolo I would argue that george shearing was the king of block chords, he would do full on blocks while red would play in octaves and shearing would hit it at raging speeds, it originated from milt buckner
whose louis? I don't think louis armstrong plays this kinda jazz? I dunno.? just figuring this shit out now myself. man i cut my teeth on system thow. hope they regroup \m/
@funk45750 Go back and listen to the Hot 5 and Hot 7, you'll see what Miles means (if you can get past the abysmal recording gear in the 20s, which mostly I struggle with)
okay. okay. I will certainly look into it. thank yous. (I watch boardwalk empire and I LOVE that abysmal 20's recording sound... it's got quite a charm to it.) what I meant was I didn't think louis played bebop. but i'm absolutely gonna dig this up. good day to you sir. a prayer for you thru my horn tonight.

gotta love that trumpet @ 5:50 my favorite part is the back and forth between the Miles and the drums

Hey man! This is the real Miles. This is when I got hooked on to the GREAT Oscar Pettiford on bass. A fantastic group.

The ONLY STUDIO recording of this song
by Miles! Oscar Pettiford brings to mind the bass stylings of Jimmy Garrison with
Coltrane's quartet years later.
