Music reviews of 'Round About Midnight
Music Review: Miles & Columbia Records Unite
Rating: 5 Stars
This album Round About Midnight is both stunning and fun.
Round Midnight and the playing that Miles exhibits on this title piece is as defining as anything on Kind Of Blue. Miles' expressions are mysterious and undefinable. So original and deeply provocative.
All Of You and Bye Bye Blackbird are endlessly fun and cheerful songs that really wake up the album bringing it from the twilight to the dawn.
The bonus tracks are so darn good, that you wonder why they were not included on the original Lp.
Miles first Columbia release was certainly a massive success.
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.
