“Milestones”, recorded in Spring 1958, finds Miles Davis with his first super group: alto and tenor saxophonists Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane, drummer Philly Joe Jones, bassist Paul Chambers, and pianist Red Garland.
“Milestones” looks to the past with bebop and blues, and points solidly to the future with the modal masterpiece "Milestones," which set the stage for the historic “Kind of Blue”. A classic recording from a classic group. “Milestones” is a seminal album that helped shape jazz history.
