Davis, Miles
Walkin'
US import. Exact repro vinyl reissue of an album, recorded on 3 April and 29 April 1954 by a group led by Miles Davis, for Prestige Records. Credited to the Miles Davis All-Stars, the first session was a quintet with David Schildkraut on alto saxophone. Schildkraut is the only musician not credited on the cover, and is otherwise almost unknown. The second session was a sextet with J. J. Johnson on trombone and Lucky Thompson on tenor saxophone. The rhythm section was the same for both sessions. The original 10-inch vinyl release included 'I'll Remember April', recorded at the quintet session. When reissued on the 12-inch format, 'Love Me Or Leave Me' was substituted, and 'I'll Remember April' can now be found on the album 'Blue Haze'. The album's title track, a staple of Davis's live set for many years, was also covered by Bobby McFerrin on his 1987 album 'Spontaneous Inventions'.
