Note: The undeniable strength and conviction present in Miles Davis' performance on Walkin', underscores the urgency and passion with which he would rightfully reclaim his status as a primary architect of bop.Davis is supported by his all-stars, consisting of his primary rhythm unit: Horace Silver (piano), Percy Heath (bass), and Kenny Clarke (drums). The sextet featured on the title track, as well as "Blue 'n' Boogie," adds the talents of J.J. Johnson (trombone) and Lucky Thompson (tenor sax). Davis' quintet includes the primary trio and Dave Schildkraut (alto sax). Perhaps not an instantly recognizable name,Schildkraut nonetheless made some notable contributions to Stan Kenton's Kenton Showcase EPs, concurrent with his work with Miles. Walkin' commences with the extended title track, which follows a standard 12-bar blues theme. While the solos from Johnson and Thomson are unique, Miles retains a palpable sense of extrication from the music -- as if the song was an extension of his solo instead of the other way around. The lethargic rhythms reiterate the subtle adornments of the horn section to the basic trio. In direct contrast to "Walkin'" is a full-tilt jumper, "Blue 'n' Boogie." The improvisation yields some truly memorable solos and exchanges between Davis and Johnson -- who can be heard clearly quoting from Thelonious Monk's "Rhythm-A-Ning." "Solar" maintains a healthy tempo while drawing the listener in to the delicate interplay where the solos often dictate the melody. Horace Silver's piano solo is Ellington-esque in it's subdued elegance. The final track, "Love Me or Leave Me," gives the most solid indication of the direction Miles' impending breakthrough would take. So swift and certain is each note of his solo, it reflects the accuracy of someone thinking several notes ahead of what he is playing. Walking is a thoroughly solid effort.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All Records are original pressings unless clearly stated.

All Records are visually graded.

If any LP is play graded details will be noted.

GRADING SYSTEM

SS (Still Sealed): The LP is still factory sealed.

M- (Mint Minus): Perfect in every way.

NM- (Near Mint Minus): Like new, most likely unplayed.

VG++ (Very Good Plus Plus): A record that has a few visual imperfections that will not affect the sound. Likely played only a handful of times or never at all.

VG+ (Very Good Plus): A few more surface marks than a VG++. The record has probably been played before but well taken care of and should play with a few audible imperfections.

VG (Very Good): The record will display light surface scuffs and marks. Expect some light surface noise in parts or a few clicks or pops here and there. A VG record will play with very minimal noise and will still be quite enjoyable.

VG- (Very Good Minus): The record may have some deeper audible scratches, marks, scuffs, etc. There will be some clicks and pops more consistently than that of a VG

G (Good): The record will have heavy wear and very apparent surface noise.

Poor: Records with this grade should be considered starter copies and in no way considered an enjoyable listen.

VERY IMPORTANT: The limit for each package will be FOUR lps. If you win more than FOUR records from my auctions please ask for a proper shipping quote.

By placing a bid on a item you hereby except and agree to all terms, grading & shipping stated.
