The Complete Columbia Recordings of Miles Davis with John Coltrane. It was a new home. A new quintet. For Miles Davis, a whole new approach to recording. And when he joined forces with John Coltrane, it added up to nothing less than the beginning of a new era in music. Miles redefined himself with shimmering lyricism and Coltrane found and distilled his identity. Together, they changed the jazz world forever. Now, for the first time, you can experience the Columbia recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet with John Coltrane in their entirety. Listen to critical alternate takes that define how Miles patiently worked on tunes, sometimes stretching across years, until he had achieved the perfection that he heard in his mind. Masterpieces Round About Midnight, Milestones and Kind of Blue are the air and water of any jazz collection. They are simply that essential. And while their haunting expressiveness has been widely appreciated, and the important role they played in breaking free of bop structures has been clearly documented, what is less well known is how differently these recordings were produced from those in the past. An example? The first Columbia session was made on October 26, 1955, while Miles was still under contract to Prestige. It marked the inaugural recording of the great quintet with John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones. Despite the session's artistic success, it yielded only four quintet tunes, two of which Miles would remake in 1958. Compare that to how he worked at Prestige. Miles generated whole albums in a single or double session, often with personnel assembled only for that date. After signing with Columbia, he completed his Prestige obligations by recording 31 tunes - five albums' worth - during three recording days. Listening to the alternate takes from the Columbia sessions and throughout the Mosaic set, it is evident that Miles worked hard to achieve truly great and beautiful performances. Through the years. At Columbia, Miles Davis and John Coltrane joined forces during three different time frames. The first was during the great 1955-56 quintet sessions that produced Round About Midnight, followed by the sextet sessions (with Cannonball Adderley) in 1958-59 that produced Milestones, half of the Jazz Track LP, Kind of Blue, and the Newport and Plaza Hotel concerts. As the band evolved, Bill Evans and Jimmy Cobb replaced Red Garland and Philly Joe; Later, Wynton Kelly took Evans's seat. Finally, a 1961 reunion resulted in two performances on "Someday My Prince Will Come". Their recordings are all here in this collection, including nine tunes originally scattered across various compilations over many years that now have been restored to their proper chronological positions. Fourteen previously unissued alternate takes are included, as is a fascinating sequence with Leonard Bernstein coaching Miles on his performance of "Sweet Sue, Just you" for Bernstein's What Is Jazz? LP. This set charts the development of two of the most influential and ever changing artists in American music, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Their styles evolve and their music takes on new clarity with each brilliant performance. If those aren't the only words you need to hear to get you to order this set, we'll add another one, limited. Order yours before it runs out. Included are photographs from the actual sessions, essays by George Avakian and Bob Blumenthal, and a time line of the group's activities by Bob Belden.
