Jazz song for today. 11/20/23

Been feeling under the weather the past 2 or so days, that's why I haven't posted a song recommendation for those days.

If I make alot of typos in todays recc. It's because I am still feeling down and struggling to keep focus.

Anyways, todays song is "Milestones" by Miles Davis.

The album Milestones is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and composer Miles Davis. It was recorded with his "first great quintet" augmented as a sextet and released in 1958 by Columbia Records.

"Milestones" Album (1958)

Tenor saxophonist John Coltrane's return to Davis' group in 1958 coincided with the "modal phase" albums: Milestones and Kind of Blue (1959) are both considered essential examples of 1950's modern jazz. Davis at this point was experimenting with modes - scale patterns other than major and minor.

Davis plays both trumpet and piano on "Sid's Ahead", a blues which is reminiscent of "Walkin'" that Davis had recorded under the title "Weirdo" for Blue Note in 1954. He plays trumpet in the ensemble passages and solos on trumpet but moves to piano to accompany the saxophonists in Garland's absence. "Billy Boy' is a solo feature for Garland and the rythym section.
