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.
