Miles Davis - The Beginning
Review by Malu Dogs & Cats
The Beginning is a jazz album by Miles Davis that showcases his early experimentation with the bebop style of jazz. Released in 1957, the album features Davis on trumpet, along with a talented lineup of musicians including John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums.
The album opens with the upbeat tune "Autumn Leaves," which immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The tracks that follow are a mix of Davis originals and jazz standards, each one showcasing the virtuosity of the musicians involved. Davis' trumpet playing is particularly impressive, with his signature muted sound adding a unique quality to the music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Milestones," which features a complex melody and intricate solos from Coltrane and Davis. Another highlight is "Billy Boy," a bluesy tune that allows each musician to showcase their improvisational skills.

Comments
Good name for a cannabis strain.
Love it joyfully
Red Garland is such a valuable back-up pianist that has great significance in enhancing the music of several legends in jazz performances.
A MILLION THANKS for posting this timeless classic!! That horn sounds soooo sweeeet!
Great recording by one of Miles' earlier quartets after he had firmly established himself as a true innovator of the art form. However on this Prestige recording it's the seasoned playing of Red Garland that makes this tune....also love Jones & OP as well.
"after you cross a bridge, burn it" Miles Davis
Yeuteamo
In retrospect this is a precursor of the great group with Paul and Trane that followed. I can hear Oscar’s influence on PC.
?✈??
Red Garland killin it on this one man !
Début 55 ; Encore un quartet,
mais déjà la magie bop cool du futur quintet avec Trane.
Red ne syncopait pas encore de la main gauche,
et son ami Paul Chambers n'était pas encore inclus par Miles...
