Review by Karin Copperwood

Jazz At The Plaza is a classic album by the Miles Davis Sextet, featuring some of the most talented musicians of the era. This album showcases the incredible talent of Davis, who leads the ensemble with his signature trumpet sound and impeccable sense of rhythm.

The sextet's performance on this album is nothing short of stunning, with each musician bringing their own unique style to the table. The interplay between the instruments is seamless, creating a rich and complex sound that is both intricate and accessible.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "My Funny Valentine," which features Davis' haunting trumpet solo and a beautifully understated piano accompaniment from Bill Evans. The other tracks on the album, such as "Straight, No Chaser" and "I Thought About You," are equally impressive, showcasing the range and versatility of the ensemble.

  • 'Recorded 1958, at the Edwardian Room, Plaza Hotel, NYC'
  • Note: LP cover misidentifies the drummer as "Philly" Joe Jones - is actually Jimmy Cobb -, and the location as The Edwardian Room (is Persian Room). LP cover and label misidentify track A1 "Straight, No Chaser" (Thelonious Monk) as "Jazz At The Plaza", credited to Miles Davis.
