miles davis - 'round about midnight (1lp/ rsd13/ mono/ reissue)

Miles Davis’ first album for Columbia, ‘Round About Midnight showcases the quiet intensity and lyrical phrasing that would define his legendary career. Backed by a stellar quintet including John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones, the album flows with after-hours elegance.

The title track is a moody, nocturnal ballad, while “Bye Bye Blackbird” and “All of You” glow with understated sophistication. It’s a perfect entry point into the hard bop era—and a glimpse of the innovation Miles would soon unleash.
