A pivotal moment in jazz history, Milestones by Miles Davis captures his first explorations into modal jazz, recorded across two dynamic sessions in early 1958. This album introduces a groundbreaking new sound that sees Davis experimenting and evolving his artistry alongside a powerhouse sextet. The lineup features an iconic blend of talents, including John Coltrane’s return, bringing a magnetic chemistry to the group, alongside Cannonball Adderley, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and “Philly” Joe Jones.
Davis’ ensemble wasn’t just any group; it was a rare assembly of musicians who had played together for years, yet Adderley’s addition reshaped the band’s rhythm and timing, unlocking fresh, innovative layers in the music. In Davis’ own words, this session was “something special,” with standout tracks like “Straight, No Chaser,” “Milestones,” and “Sid’s Ahead,” where Davis even steps in on piano. Milestones is an essential listen for any jazz enthusiast, marking a bold chapter in the evolution of a jazz master and his legendary collaborators.
