945 MILES DAVIS MILESTONES Dr. Jekyll • Sid’s Ahead • Two Bass Hit • Milestones • Billy Boy •
Straight No Chaser • Little Melonae • Four • Bye Bye Blackbird • Walkin’ • Two Bass Hit (Personnel: John
Coltrane, Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones) The complete classic album Milestones by the celebrated
Miles Davis Sextet with Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane. As a bonus, the complete broadcast from the Cafe Bohemia – in which Cannonball
Adderley was absent, and Bill Evans replaced Garland on piano. The 1958 Miles Davis group wasn’t a
quintet but a sextet, with the addition of Julian “Cannonball” Adderley on alto sax. “In this group”, explained
Miles years later, “everybody had played together for over two years, except for Cannonball. But one voice
can change the entire way a band hears itself, can change the whole rhythm, the whole timing of a band,
even if everyone else had been playing together forever. It’s a whole new thing when you add or take away
a voice.” Milestones was the first studio album made by the sextet. It was recorded on February 4 and March
4, 1958, and the rhythm section was the same as the classic 1956 quintet, with Red Garland on piano, Paul
Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The next entry in Miles’ discography after the Milestones
sessions is the May 17, 1958 “Bandstand USA” radio broadcast, recorded live from the Cafe Bohemia in
New York, which have been added here as a bonus. For some reason, Cannonball Adderley was absent from
the date and the classic quintet is heard with Bill Evans on piano. This interesting program has circulated in
many forms over the years, usually with poor sound quality and less complete versions (excluding the final
announcements and, therefore, all of Coltrane’s solo on “Two Bass Hit”). The current release presents the
most complete source and the best sound quality. [Item Code: 63478 CD: $17.00]
