dxxxiii. DAVIS, Miles: Joshua

from Four & More


This exciting Victor Feldman tune. Live at Philharmonic Hall, February 1964. Miles is in rare form and what a responsive rhythm section! His solo is full of guts and fire.

Coleman is also en fuego. Listen as Williams drop out occasionally, leaving the soloist in mid-air!

Hancock is next and shines and glistens, and a few times completely confounds the beat, coming back in perfectly. His left hand is a thing of beauty.

Head and out.
