Round About Midnight

Miles Davis' Round About Midnight from 2015 captures hard bop at its most elegant and swinging. The quintet navigates jazz standards and originals with Davis' muted trumpet floating over intricate rhythm section work, creating music that's both accessible and sophisticated.

Standout Tracks

• 'Round About Midnight: The Thelonious Monk composition that became a Davis signature piece, featuring his iconic muted trumpet approach
• Bye, Bye, Blackbird: A masterful interpretation of the standard that showcases the quintet's interplay at nearly eight minutes
• All Of You: The Cole Porter song transformed into a vehicle for extended improvisation and melodic development

Mood: late night, sophisticated, cool, contemplative
