Review
This is a low-key version of "Kind
of Blue," with almost everyone from the same band absent
Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, and the like. Added Hank
Mobley as the second sideman on the record. Coltrane is
third. But Mobley is really comfortable as the second
one leading the band. Miles uses more mute in this one,
so each song really sounds like a ballad. There are some
good blues on this one, too. Although not as influential
as "Kind of Blue," this is an underrated classic by a
classic band.
