Miles Davis' 'Round About Midnight captures the legendary trumpeter's quintet featuring John Coltrane during a pivotal period in jazz history, with sessions recorded in New York between 1955-1956. The performances snap and sparkle with road-honed precision, showcasing a band that would soon become one of the most celebrated lineups in jazz, delivering reinvigorated takes on ballads and bebop standards with bright, warm recording quality.
This 2016 Jazz Images pressing offers collectors a chance to experience these classic sessions on vinyl, featuring the iconic cover photograph of Miles at Paris' Olympia Theatre in 1957 by renowned photographer Jean-Pierre Leloir. While some critics view it as a footnote to Davis' famous Prestige sessions, others recognize the timeless quality of these recordings, noting that "everything about this date, from the black-and-white cover photo to the performances, is classic."
