Recorded in the summer of 1955, this session was a half-year after the
famed meeting of Davis and Jackson with Thelonious Monk on Christmas Eve
1954. The special chemistry of Miles and Milt is further enhanced on
the two numbers written by Jackie McLean where the composer's alto
saxophone makes the group a sextet. McLean is yet another of the young
talents fostered by Davis. Ray Bryant, in his introduction to a wider
jazz audience, is also represented by one tune. The second number is
Thad Jones.
with Jackie McLean, Ray Bryant, Percy Heath, Arthur Taylor
