clxxiv. PARKER, Charlie: Now's The Time / DAVIS, Miles: Straight No Chaser

clxxiv. PARKER, Charlie (1920-1955)

Now's The Time (1945)
CP, alto saxophone
Miles Davis, trumpet
Dizzy Gillespie, piano (?)
Curley Russell, bass
Max Roach, drums
(3:17)

from The Charlie Parker Story.


DAVIS, Miles (1926-1991)

Straight No Chaser (1958)
MD, trumpet
Julian "Cannonball" Adderly, alto saxophone
John Coltrane, tenor saxophone
Red Garland, piano
Paul Chambers, bass
Philly Joe Jones, drums
(10:40)

from Milestones.


Here's the raison d'ĂȘtre for this post:

Miles -- 19-years-old -- plays this amazing solo on this Parker date (1:43) ...

Thirteen years later, listen to Red Garland play that Miles solo in block chords at 7:29!

**

Apparently, Miles was not amused. Garland was fired shortly after the date and replaced by Bill Evans.
