Tracks list

So now we know what Miles was talking about. Sonny's musical style–about
melodic "formulas" and rhythmic/harmonic "closure"–is clearly "wrong" for
Miles, but not necessarily for Sonny. On all of the tunes, including the modal
"So What," Sonny "locks" into the time, much like a Coleman Hawkins, and plays
within the harmonies of the tune, coming back to the tonic note at every
opportunity. Miles if anything overplays, as though he's determined to rub
Sonny's nose in the new music until he gets it. Sonny will have none of it. He
counter-punches with his very best shots, exhausting the melodic/harmonic
vocabulary inherited from Bird and Diz. The result is a dazzling display of
disparate pyrotechnics–perhaps the last time Miles would play this
aggressively on record. For my money, this quintet is more exciting, perhaps
even breath-taking, than the Shorter-Hancock-Carter-Williams unit that would
soon succeed it.

A few caveats: there's considerable audio distortion, especially of the trumpet.
And of course this is not an album for anyone who is just beginning a Miles
collection. But for certain saxophonists I know and perhaps careful listeners
who are knowledgeable about styles and traditions, this rare album will be an
endlessly fascinating if not essential addition to a vital jazz collection.
