Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants brings together two remarkable Prestige sessions, capturing the trumpeter in the company of some of the sharpest minds in 1950s jazz.
Most of the album comes from a famous 1954 date that put Davis alongside Thelonious Monk on piano, Milt Jackson on vibraphone, Percy Heath on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums. The session has become the stuff of legend, partly for the tension between two strong-willed leaders, and partly because the music they made together is so striking. Released in 1959, the album rounds things out with a track from Davis's classic quintet featuring a young John Coltrane.
"The Man I Love" is the centerpiece, a long, shape-shifting performance in which Monk famously drops out mid-solo before crashing back in. "Swing Spring" glides with cool, airy precision, and "Bemsha Swing" brings Monk's angular wit to the fore. "'Round Midnight", cut by the quintet with Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones, is moody and gorgeous, a perfect late-night closer.
The contrast between Monk's spiky angles and Davis's spare lyricism gives the whole record a fascinating push and pull.
For jazz collectors, this is essential listening, a document of brilliant musicians testing one another in real time and producing something far greater than the sum of its parts.
