Throughout his playing career, Miles Davis was always paired up with extremely strong saxophone soloists. His late ‘50s work with Coltrane is legendary, and Wayne Shorter’s compositional approach to soloing in Miles quintet revolutionized jazz in the ‘60s.
But before both of these pairings, Miles was burning hard bop classics with Sonny Rollins – a living icon who has been called the “greatest living improviser.” This 2-CD set contains music that is beyond compare, from standards like ‘Airegin’ and ‘Oleo’ to blowing vehicles like ‘Compulsion.’
The sidemen read like a list of legendary leaders themselves, and they keep things swinging and tight throughout. Highly recommended.
