On April 2, 1959, producer Robert Herridge recorded the Miles Davis Quintet playing the classic "So What" in CBS studio 61, New York City. The piece was taped for an episode of the Robert Herridge Theater, titled "The Sound of Miles Davis." CBS broadcast the show on July 21, 1960. Personnel Miles Davis: Trumpet John Coltrane: Tenor Sax Wynton Kelly: Piano Paul Chambers: Double Bass Jimmy Cobb: Drums Historical Context: The first great Quintet/Sextet had disbanded after recording "Milestones" in the Spring of '58, when Davis replaced Red Garland with Bill Evans, and Philly Joe Jones with Jimmy Cobb. Evans left the band in late '58 and was in the process of forming his own acclaimed trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian -- probably the greatest piano trio of all time. Davis replaced Evans with Wynton Kelly, and Kelly would stay with Davis until 1963, when he quit to form his own trio -- taking Chambers and Cobb with him. (Evans had temporarily rejoined the Davis group for the "Kind of Blue" sessions in March and April of '59, a month before the CBS television recording. Even though Kelly was Davis' pianist at the time of the "Kind of Blue" recording sessions, he only played on one tune, "Freddie Freeloader," with Evans playing on the rest of the songs, incl. "So What".) 'Trane stayed with Miles until April 1960, when he quit to form his classic quartet. Cannonball Adderley, who played on the "Kind of Blue" recording, was absent here because of a migraine headache. He'd never again record with Davis. This CBS session was recorded exactly a month after the first "Kind of Blue" session (March 2, 1959), which yielded "So What," "Freddie Freeloader" and "Blue in Green." Three weeks later, on April 22, Davis went back into the studio to record the remainder of the tracks on "Kind of Blue": "Flamenco Sketches" and "All Blues." This videotape is a rare glimpse of Miles Davis in the midst of recording arguably the most important jazz album of all time.
