This rare collector’s item presents Miles Davis & John Coltrane in two rare radio broadcasts made in Miles’ hometown, St Louis, Missouri in 1956 - prior to Coltrane’s first departure from the band. It is one of the few recordings of Miles in St Louis, recorded at the Peacock Alley club and features the classic rhythm section of Red Garland, Paul Chambers & Philly Joe Jones. As the MC clearly states at one point, the quintet were “swinging like crazy”.

This session was recorded in between the Columbia albums “Round About Midnight” and “Miles Ahead” and comes in the middle of his ‘Relaxin-Workin-Steamin-Cookin’ sessions for Prestige. This a must for all true Miles & Trane fans.

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Barry McRae

This is a hightly appealing album. It offers the greatest of all Miles Davis groups, playing with creativity and aplomb. This, for the true fan, is jazz of the hightest order and, despite duplication of titles, will find its way into most collections.

Jazzwise - Keith Shadwick

Coltrane is confident and assertive. This is a fascinating two sets from St. Louis' Peacock Alley with high-quality playing from every member of Miles' quintet, a band obviously enjoying playing together in front of an appreciative crowd. ***
