Title: HARD BOPPIN'
Product review: Not as priceless as ROUND MIDNIGHT,MILESTONES is a crossover of things to come for MILES.It is a prime example of hard bop jazz,the way it was played in 1958.DR.JACKYL and SID'S AHEAD are the key numbers here ,allowing all the musicians to shine on their instruments.Alternate versions (STRAIGHT NO CHASER,MILESTONES and especially TWO BASS HIT were unnecessary).They are there to make the record last longer.TRIVIAL QUIZ:who says ALL RIGHT at the end of the second version of STRAIGHT NO CHASER?Who hits harder JO JONES or MAX ROACH?Wifes of the late musicians could tell us.
