Including sessions recorded the same day as those on Bags Groove, this album includes more classic performances from the date that matched together trumpeter
Miles Davis, vibraphonist
Milt Jackson, pianist
Thelonious Monk, bassist
Percy Heath, and drummer
Kenny Clarke.
Davis and
Monk actually did not get along all that well, and the trumpeter did not want
Monk playing behind his solos. Still, a great deal of brilliant music occurred on the day of their encounter, including "The Man I Love," "Bemsha Swing," and "Swing Spring." ~ Scott Yanow
