Miles Davis was in the process of forming his first classic quintet when he recorded this date. The trumpeter is featured on a quartet outing with pianistRed Garland, bassistOscar Pettiford, and drummerPhilly Joe Jones, playing four standards plus a blues (“Green Haze”) and “I Didn’t,” his answer toThelonious Monk‘s “Well, You Needn’t.”GarlandandJoneswould soon be in Miles’ group, although the fieryPettifordproved too difficult for the trumpeter to handle and was quickly succeeded byPaul Chambers. via AllMusic
