Miles Davis - 'Round About Midnight 1957 (2001 Remaster) torrent

'Round About Midnight' is widely recognized as a landmark album in hard bop and one of the greatest jazz albums of all time.
The title track is a version of pianist Thelonious Monk's composition "'Round Midnight," originally composed way back in 1941. Miles Davis' interpretation smoothes out the composer's lurching rhythms, his muted elaborations on the melody turning it into a mist rising up from the ground, until suddenly, almost exactly at the halfway mark, he blows a shrill fanfare and John Coltrane comes swaggering in for a rich, bluesy solo of his own.
The album feels like a real work of art, not a recording of five guys blowing through some tunes in a room. It's breathtaking how seamless it all is.
