Dept. of Additional Awesome Friday Tunes

Miles and co. from 1959. Jazz fans know this already, but the quiet dude in the back with the sax is, of course, John Coltrane. The whole combo at this point (Kind of Blue era) is like a who’s who of jazz greats. In addition to Davis and Coltrane, they had Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, Jimmy Cobb on drums, and Cannonball Adderly also on sax.

It’s particularly cool that, when Coltrane takes his solo, you can see Davis slip off to the side for a smoke.
