And he made every moment count. Pairing with Cannonball Adderley, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones, Davis not only laid the groundwork for the modalism that immediately followed but tailored a genuine modern-jazz masterwork laden with performances among the most explosive of his distinguished career. Sandwiched between the more famous\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Round About Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand the epochal\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMilestones\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eremains a seminal work of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColors, shapes, and dimensions appear in the manner that resembles what you'd glean from behind a studio control room's window. Davis' burnished trumpet is rendered in three-dimensional perspective and seemingly coaxes the band to play with unburdened zest. Coltrane's trademark saxophone teems with lifelike tonality and images with specificity; his solos work in tandem with and against the driving rhythms. Garland's swaggering piano lines? Visualize the keys as he hits full stride, the chords and fills slithering around skeletal frameworks. Inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and selected as a \"Core Collection\" record by the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ePenguin Guide to Jazz\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMilestones\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis as famous for its title track – widely considered ground zero for modalism and bolstered by Jones' hallmark \"Philly Lick\" rim shot – as the players that produced it. The launching pad for many of Davis' improvisational flights, the album teases the explorations Coltrane would soon chase. Davis' own solo work broaches territories that far exceed what he had done in his bop-rooted past. Every song is a highlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there's \"Straight, No Chaser,\" the definitive rendition of Thelonious Monk's signature piece. Coltrane's marbled playing pulls at the tune's borders, Adderley takes liberty with solos, and Davis dances around his mates, at one point quoting \"When the Saints Go Marching In\" while demonstrating his knowledge of tradition and casting an eye towards the future. Garland already had one foot out the door during the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMilestones\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esessions to the extent Davis spells him on \"Sid's Ahead.\" Jones would stick around for a bit longer but soon plot his exit. History proves Davis navigated the changes with visionary aplomb. Yet the chemistry, excitement, and beauty the sextet achieves on \u003cem\u003eMilestones \u003c\/em\u003ecannot be overstated. This reissue helps put the album in proper perspective – and presents the music the fidelity it deserves. — via Label\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/56I4vUYWQ4aXLiyfo8XuZv?utm_source=generator\u0026amp;theme=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, Columbia\u003cbr\u003eSeries: GAIN 2™ Ultra Analog 180g Mono Series, Original Master Recording\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Remastered, Mono\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2013 \/ Original Release: 1958\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Hard Bop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Audiophile Jazz\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45231789179038,"sku":"821797137416","price":80.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/s-l1200_a47e8e81-895c-4747-aed3-a53be0deddf4.jpg?v=1741674117","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/miles-davis-milestones-2013-mono-numbered-edition","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
