Miles Davis — Quiet Nights
180-Gram Audiophile Vinyl
Limited edition reissue of Davis’ 1963 bossa nova-inspired album, which was arranged and conducted by Gil Evans & produced by Teo Macero. It features the 1996 mix by Mark Wilder for the Grammy-winning box set, Miles Davis Gil Evans The Complete Columbia Studio Recordings. Quiet Nights is a mix of situations and sources: Brazilian folk (“Prenda Minha,” titled “Song #2”), Spanish classical (“Adelita” by guitar pioneer Francisco Tárrega, here called “Song #1”), and a few ballads. There’s one that stands out from the rest of the big band album: “Summer Night,” a quintet take featuring Davis playing muted then open trumpet and the start of a new band: tenor saxophonist George Coleman, pianist Victor Feldman, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Frank Butler.
