Free Music Notes for Round About Midnight
Free Music Review: awesome quintet...legendary recording..
Hit: 5 Stars
Miles Davis first recording with Columbia Records. Miles, trumpet, John Coltrane, tenor saxophone, Philly Joe Jones, drums, Red Garland, piano, and Paul Chambers, bass. If there was a jazz Hall of Fame(why isn't there one?) they all would be in it. From that first note of 'Round About Midnight(a Thelonius Monk composition) this album just blows you away. Add this to your jazz collection and you'll find yourself listening to it over and over. A masterpiece. If DaVinci played jazz, it would sound something like this. I put this one along with Porgy and Bess and Kind of Blue as the essential Miles.Free Music Review: Perfect feeling of midnight
Hit: 5 Stars
I think that "Round About Midnight" has integrity. I have never heard anything that sounds like this. Whenever I walk alone through a quiet night where neonlights flash in a melancoly way I hear this music in my head, especially "Round Midnight". As I'm from Sweden I really like the track "Dear Old Stockholm" and believe it captures the atmosphere of that town. This album is sentimental, but it's sentimentality in a positive sense. Miles trumpet creates magical and beautiful jazz. A wonderful album when you feel like being alone for a while, in solitude.Free Music Review: One of Miles' Best

Miles Davis 1956 release of Round About Midnight is one of the best albums of his career. It features a great quintet, with Philly Joe Jones on drums, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, John Coltrane on sax, and Miles on trumpet. The album is one of Miles most beautiful albums, with incredible songs, such as a great rendition of Round Midnight, Bye Bye Blackbird and the Charlie Parker song Ah-Leu-Cha. This is Miles in top form and is essential to any of his fans, especially since it hasn't been easily available on CD for a while.Free Music Review: MILES DAVIS' FIRST COLUMBIA RECORD
Hit: 5 Stars
'Round About Midnight was Miles Davis' Columbia debut LP and one of his calmest recordings ever. The first song 'Round Midnight is an excellent old '50s song, recorded on 9/10/1956. The next song which was the first session Ah-Leu-Cha is excellent, recorded on 10/26/1955. All of You and Bye Bye Blackbird have really great piano. Bye Bye Blackbird is my favorite song here, it has the best piano. All the songs in this album are excellent as well as other Miles Davis. Get this with Kind of Blue and you can enjoy a relaxing late 1950s.Free Music Review: One of his best early works

I'll keep this short. I've got a lot of Miles' Cds and this is probably the one I listen to the most. All the songs are great on it and I love Coltrane's work on this one too. I agree with others that say this is their favorite quintet. Not to negate what the future Davis groupings were but this one definitely had something that could not be replicated. A well balanced unoffensive classic jazz album. Recommended for Jazz pros and Jazz newbies alike. Soulful
