This performance immediately drew the attention of \u003cstrong\u003eColumbia Records\u003c\/strong\u003e' \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Avakian\u003c\/strong\u003e, who was so impressed that he immediately offered Davis a contract if he could form a regular band. The group he then assembled would go down in history as Davis' so-called \"\u003cem\u003eFirst Great Quintet\u003c\/em\u003e\", consisting of \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Coltrane\u003c\/strong\u003e on tenor sax, \u003cstrong\u003eRed Garland\u003c\/strong\u003e on piano, \u003cstrong\u003ePhilly Joe Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e on drums, \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Chambers\u003c\/strong\u003e on bass and of course Miles himself on trumpet. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Round Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e is Miles Davis' first record for Columbia and also the first studio recording of the \u003cem\u003eFirst Great Quintet\u003c\/em\u003e. The recording sessions began on October 26 1955 but the album wasn't released until 1957 as Davis was still under contract at Prestige at the time. These respective sessions yielded \u003cem\u003eSteamin', Workin', Cookin' \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Relaxin'\u003c\/em\u003e; albums that would go down in history as quintessential blueprints of late 1950s hard bop. The record is made up of a collection of standards and one traditional song (\"\u003cem\u003eDear Old Stockholm\u003c\/em\u003e\", from the 19th century). Notably, it features what may be considered the most well-known versions of Thelonious Monk's \"\u003cem\u003e'Round Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eBye Bye Blackbird\u003c\/em\u003e\". \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat Avakian made a golden signing was sufficiently clear from the start, but no one could foresee that it would be this quintet on Columbia that would go on to change the course of modern jazz forever with Kind of Blue. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Round Midnight\u003c\/em\u003e is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on crystal clear vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"LP - Deluxe 180g Crystal Clear Vinyl","offer_id":57179116339545,"sku":"SDZ-24014","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Miles_Davis_-__Round_Midnight_-_LP_Deluxe_180g_Crystal_Clear_Vinyl_-_2026_Music_On_Vinyl_Reissue.jpg?v=1769769133","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/miles-davis-round-about-midnight-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
