Dick Swings....Miles and Miles and miles
	The (kind of) blue touchpaper was lit & the rocket was off .... After recording Milestones, Garland and Jones were replaced by Bill Evans and Jimmy Cobb. Evans departed late in 1958, to be replaced by Wynton Kelly. In March and April 1959, Davis re-entered the studio with his working sextet and Bill Evans to record what the classic 'Kind Of Blue'. The album was planned around Evans' piano style. It was also influenced by concepts that Evans had learned while working with George Russell on the earliest recordings of modal Jazz and passed on to the sextet. Kelly only played on 'Freddie Freeloader' and was not present at the April session. 'So what' and 'All Blues' had been played by the sextet at performances prior to the recording sessions, but for the other three compositions, Davis and Evans prepared skeletal harmonic frameworks which the other musicians saw for the first time on the day of recording, in order to generate an improvisational approach. The resulting album has proven to be a huge influence on other musicians. According to the RIAA, Kind of Blue is the best-selling jazz album of all time! This was still a period of flux, but all the components were slowly but surely coming together. After one final European Tour in 1960, John Coltrane left to form his own classic quartet. Over the next couple of years, several Sax players filled the gap including Sonny Stitt & Hank Mobely. The next major landmark in the career of Miles Davis came in 1963 when his long-time rhythm section of Kelly, Chambers and Cobb left. Miles quickly recruited George Coleman & Ron Carter, who were joined some weeks later by another teenager - Tony Williams & piano legend Herbie Hancock. Coleman left in early 1964 & was briefly replaced by Sam Rivers, but by the end of that summer Miles had persuaded Wayne Shorter to leave Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Wayne Shorter's compositions were soon to become key in the next direction Miles was to take. With the lineup of Carter, Williams, Hancock & Shorter, the 'Second Great Quintet' was about to take the Jazz world by storm. To Be Continued ....
