Recorded in the summer of 1955, this session was a half-year after the famed meeting of Davis & Jackson with Thelonious Monk on Christmas Eve 1954. The special chemistry of Miles & Milt is further enhanced on the 2 numbers written by Jackie McLean where the composer's alto saxophone makes the group a sextet. Ray Bryant, in his introduction to a wider jazz audience, is also represented by one tune. The second number is Thad Jones. OJC/Fantasy Records.
