Few Words about the Record
With the collaboration of renowned musicians such as John Coltrane (tenor saxophone), Cannonball Adderley (alto saxophone), Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers (double bass) and Jimmy Cobb (drums), Mile Davis has created an album that transcends the time and generations. The album explores the concept of modal jazz, an innovative approach at the time that moved away from the complex harmonic progressions of bebop in favor of simpler, open structures. This technique allows musicians to improvise more fluidly and expressively. Tracks such as So What, Freddie Freeloader and Blue in Green have become timeless classics.
