5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, December 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Round About Midnight (Audio CD)

Miles began his 30 year run at Columbia records with this album, a bop masterpiece. "Round Midnight" and "Dear Old Stockholm" are perfect bookends, showcasing Miles at his muted best. Every member of the band shines. The version of "Bye Bye Blackbird" is the best I have heard. Don't miss this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Miles launch into stardom, January 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Round About Midnight (Audio CD)

This version of Round Midnight is one of my favourite pieces of all time. Why..? Because its sharp, singin and continues to reach, up there. It cries and smiles at the same time, is dark yet light, because it carries so much feeling that would take many moons to explain. Enough said, the rest of the tracks are splendid too, and if you like Miles muted horn and Trane in his early stages, plus one of the most excellent rhythm sections ever in jazz, this is it. Listen carefully to the easy intro and you might notice the great potential which is about to unfold, but like always with Miles, each thing in its own little time.

Very Cool Miles

The Miles Davis I listen to most, after Kind of Blue. All time best recordings of Round Midnight and Blackbird. You feel like Miles is there in the room with you, Harmon mute and all. You feel his loneliness, melancholy and great joy. Communicates true emotion like no other Miles recording.

Miles Davis first record with a major label.

The SACD is even better.
I can't understand why this doesn't sell better?
