Released in 1958. A Japan-exclusive project commemorating the 100th anniversary of Miles Davis's birth. Recorded in February and March of 1958, this album is popular as a showcase of Miles's blossoming talent. From this album onwards, he started a sextet (six-member group) with the newly recruited alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley. John Coltrane and Red Garland's playing is more powerful than ever, and Miles' trumpet is in top form. A flawless, powerful sound unfolds throughout the entire album. The title track is a landmark that heralded the beginning of the "modal jazz" style, which can be considered one of the origins of modern jazz. The approachable theme melody and Miles' playing, stripped down to the bare essentials, are exhilarating. The piano trio version of "Billy Boy" is also outstanding.
