Music reviews of 'Round About Midnight
Music Review: Miles above the rest
Rating: 5 Stars
Miles Davis was so smooth that he along with Coltrane and buddies made veteran musicians look rough around the edges. Round About Midnight is exactly the type of album that lives up to the hype. Miles Davis was so groundbreaking and was so dominant in directing jazz tendencies that every single album begs to be listened to, but among his elite are Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain, Bitches Brew and Round About Midnight. No jazz enthusiast should do without these albums and no poser wanting to appear to be knowledgeable of jazz should do without these albums. That way, they'll know what to listen for and become educated with excellence. Like most of the best of Miles, this album is best served chilled, with a nice bottle of wine and some great company.
Description of 'Round About Midnight
Part of the 'Master Sound Jazz Series'. Japanese reissue of the classic Columbia album originally released in 1955. DSD mastering. Packaged in a limited edition miniature LP sleeve. 10 tracks. 2000 release.In 1955, Miles Davis signed on with jazz powerhouse Columbia Records. With alto and tenor saxophonists Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane, drummer Philly Joe Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and pianist Red Garland, Davis released 'Round About Midnight, which evinces even more clearly what a phenomenal unit Davis was nurturing. Stylistically, Midnight encompasses standards (or soon-to-be standards) such as "Dear Old Stockholm," "Bye-Bye Blackbird," Tadd Dameron's "Tadd's Delight," and Jackie McLean's forward-thinking composition "Little Melonae." Miles and company reprise "Budo" from the historic Birth of the Cool sessions. The standout track is Davis's Harmon-muted reading of Thelonious Monk's ballad, "'Round Midnight, which is still a Miles standard bearer. Three alternate takes round out the session: "Two Bass Hit" and "Sweet Sue" feature adventuresome solos by Coltrane that preview his masterpiece "Giant Steps." And Garland moves away from his Ahmad Jamal pianisms with his introspective ivory ticklings. If you want to hear the origins of post-bop modern jazz, this is it. --Eugene Holley Jr.
