Title: The perfect jazz recording: in one take... and brilliant!
Review: I have very few Jazz albums in my collection, but when I started diving into this genre, this was the first one I got. It's so perfect, so intimate, so full of spirit... and there are two qualities to it that make it even more impressing:-First, the musical framework to it was conceived by Davis (as explained by pianist Bill Evans in the inner-sleeve) barely hours before the recording took place. Based off this framework, the band that accompanied him played all except one of the five pieces in one 'take.'-Second, this album was recorded in 1959, and it still sounds as fresh and penetrating today as it did back then. This is a quality that only true masterpieces can achieve: stand the test of time.
