Café Bohemia quickly became a mecca for jazz modernists, and several albums were recorded there by some of the most interesting artists of the time (Art Blakey, Charles Mingus, Kenny Dorham, George Wallington). Furthermore, Oscar Pettiford (who in the early days served as artistic director of the Jazz Club) even dedicated a composition to it, entitled \"Bohemia After Dark.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCafé Bohemia was also one of the venues from which the programme was broadcast.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBandstand USA aired on Mutual Network Radio Broadcasts.

Sure, all the titles are well-known and have been performed thousands of times in many different versions. But what this Quintet (and here we mean every single player!) produces in terms of inventiveness, thrilling improvisations, and mastery is absolutely first-rate. Davis's vibrato-free sound is flawlessly captured by John Coltrane—wonderfully demonstrated in the middle of \"Bye, Bye Blackbird,\" while Paul Chambers's highlight is \"Ack Värmeland du sköna\" (aka \"Dear Old Stockholm\"). In 1955\/56, bebop was all the rage, as evidenced by Tadd Dameron's classics \"Tadd's Delight\" and Charlie Parker's \"Ah-Leu-Cha.\" Here, however, the improvised melodic veins are more moderate, paving the way for the style that would later become known as modal jazz.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile 'Round About Midnight' as an album doesn't enjoy the reputation of 'Kind Of Blue,' this Columbia recording contains many gems worth listening to.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis Speakers Corner LP has been remastered using only analog components, from the masters to the cutting head ( \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pure-analogue.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/pure-analogue.com\u003c\/a\u003e )\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"production_info\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eRecorded: October 1955, June and September 1956 at Columbia's 30th Street Studio, New York in mono\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eProduction: George Avakian\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cspan class=\"catalog_number\"\u003eColumbia CL 949\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Format:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"contentAndConfiguration\"\u003e1LP 180g 33rpm \/ standard sleeve\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Original label:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eColumbia\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Barcode:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"barcode\"\u003e4260019713353\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Release Date:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"release-date\"\u003e2008-07-22\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Speakers Corner","offers":[{"title":"LP 33 rpm","offer_id":52895196414219,"sku":"SPC949","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/4294\/9131\/files\/81Na6ZqVckL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1770833292"},{"product_id":"miles-davis-quintet-miles-smiles","title":"MILES DAVIS QUINTET - Miles Smiles","description":"\u003ch2\u003e \n\u003cstrong\u003eMILES DAVIS QUINTET - Miles Smiles\u003c\/strong\u003e ( \u003cb\u003eSPC9401\u003c\/b\u003e )\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\n \u003cspan\u003eSpeakers Corner -\u003c\/span\u003e LP AUDIOPHILE PRESSING \u003cspan class=\"contentAndConfiguration\"\u003e180g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"title_and_interpreter\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\"\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMiles Smiles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMiles\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDavis (tr); Wayne Shorter (ts); Herbie Hancock (p); Ron Carter (b); Tony Williams (dr)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAside from a recording of a live performance at the Portland Festival, Miles Davis's 1966 discography lists only the recordings made for the LP \"Miles Smiles\"!
