‘ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT – MILES DAVIS
The Birth of Cool’s Next Chapter – A Miles Davis Classic
Originally released in 1957, ”’Round About Midnight” marks Miles Davis’s first studio album for Columbia Records, and captures the rising genius of a young artist forming what would become one of the greatest quintets in jazz history. Featuring John Coltrane (tenor sax), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums), this record showcases lyrical sensitivity, smoky late-night moods, and technical brilliance.
The album’s title track—Monk’s haunting ballad “‘Round Midnight”—gets the definitive Davis treatment here, while tracks like “Bye Bye Blackbird” and “All of You” highlight the ensemble’s interplay and swing. This is cool jazz with bite, emotional depth, and historic significance.
A must-have for jazz collectors and a perfect entry point for newcomers.
