The band grew from the first great quintet with Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones into a sextet featuring Cannonball Adderley, with Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly and Jimmy Cobb also passing through. The compilation draws on 'Round About Midnight, Milestones, Kind of Blue and Someday My Prince Will Come, so the arc of that partnership unfolds side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe earlier sides swing hard and bright. \"Two Bass Hit\" shows how well Davis's spare, economical lines sat against Coltrane's restless flurries, while \"'Round Midnight\" lets the Thelonious Monk ballad smoulder under a muted trumpet. By the time \"So What\" arrives, with Chambers' bass posing the question and the horns answering, modal jazz has fully taken shape, and \"Blue in Green\" is as hushed and intimate as anything Davis ever recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a compact, beautifully chosen way into one of the great partnerships in the music, and a fitting way to mark a hundred years of both players. Set aside an evening and let all four sides play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139123716401,"sku":"199584563619","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Miles_Davis_John_Coltrane-The_Best_Of_Miles_Davis_John_Coltrane_1955-1961_2LP.jpg?v=1793087387","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/miles-davis-john-coltrane-the-best-of-miles-davis-john-coltrane-1955-1961-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
