Album Notes & Community Reviews

Backed by Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones, Miles Davis's primary rhythm section reunites for a trio date defined by unrelenting, joyous swing. The pianist's exceptionally clean, blues-drenched right-hand lines skip effortlessly over the famously deep pocket provided by his rhythm mates, resulting in a masterclass of straight-ahead modern jazz.
