Davis teaming up with the quintet that would start his jazz-icon era from now till the mid-70s. They would not properly find their groove until Midnight though. What is interesting here is that it is Coltrane?s first recording. He is nowhere near the level he would cone to be at, but some hints can be seen.

It may not be the most noteworthy thing in Davis' catalog musically, but man is it smmoooottthhhh. However, Miles is one of the more noteworthy releases of this period of time because of who performs on it; yes, it was the first recording of The Miles Davis Quintet as we love them: Davis himself, John Coltrane, Paul Chambers, Red Garland, and Philly Joe Jones. It was also the first time Coltrane was on record, and while he was light years behind what he'd eventually end up penning, he was still quite good, really sounding at home during the faster numbers. Everyone gets a chance to shine here, but two members here stand out: Davis and Chambers. Davis billows away in that classic mid-50's tone that made him famous, while Chambers keeps everything in line and even goes off on some small, tasteful tangents here and there to keep things fresh. It's a landmark record personnel-wise, and musically it's some of the smoothest hard bop of the era, so it's delicious.
