Miles Davis is one of, if not the, greatest jazz innovators of all time. Many albums of his have been christened as classics of the genre, and throughout his career he dabbled in the many sub genres jazz had to offer. Here, he plays hard bop, and with himself on the trumpet and John Coltrane on the tenor sax, some melancholy yet gorgeous music is made. Featuring songs arranged by jazz greats Thelonius Monk and Stan Getz, this record is a forty-minute excursion into smooth, sad, and altogether endearing jazz, with songs such as "'Round Midnight", "All Of You", "Bye-Bye Blackbird", and "Dear Old Stockholm" stealing the show. Though it was initially received rather lukewarmly, 'Round About Midnight has proved itself to be one of the essentials of hard bop, and an all-around great record for fans of jazz everywhere.

Kind of Blue, In a Silent Way and Bitch's Brew unfortunately will always overshadow ever thing Miles has ever done.To me personally This album is probably one of my favorite Miles albums and for me it ranks up there with Kind of Blue.This thing is so sad and dismal but also really somber and just really chill and I like it!Highly recommended.

The first interesting Miles Davis record. Until this point, I have to admit I find all of Davis' work incredibly boring and outdated. Here however, he starts showing the first hints of the huge jazz figure he would become.

"It's breathtaking how seamless it all is. There's little else to say except that 'Round About Midnight is among the most essential of Davis' Columbia recordings".- Thom Jurek

It's good... but nowhere near as great as In a Silent Way or Kind of Blue. There's nothing about it that really makes it "bad", but there's also nothing here that really sets it apart from Miles' other albums. 3.2/5
