Including sessions recorded the same day as those onBags Groove, this album includes more classic performances from the date that matched together trumpeter Miles Davis, vibraphonistMilt Jackson,pianistThelonious Monk, bassistPercy Heath, and drummerKenny Clarke. DavisandMonkactually did not get along all that well, and the trumpeter did not wantMonkplaying behindhis solos. Still, a great deal of brilliant music occurred on the day of their encounter, including "TheMan I Love," "Bemsha Swing," and "Swing Spring." [A 20-bit remaster of Miles Davis and theModern Jazz Giants was released in October 1999.]
