This record contains their two biggest hits, Glad All Over and Bits and Pieces:
Recording for this record started in 1962, and continued on and off over the next year plus, and was finally released in 1964. Quiet Nights is not one of the better Miles Davis records (and there are may great ones to choose from), I understand that Davis himself was not happy with the release of what he felt was an incomplete recording. The album totals only 27 minutes, and that is with a 6 minute outtake of a song recorded for another album thrown in! Here is Corcovado:
One of two albums released from recordings of a live concert at the Lincoln Centre in New York in February 1964. Released in 1966, Four & More contains the uptempo songs from this concert, while the ballads are recorded on My Funny Valentine. This album contains fast paced and rather exciting versions of some Miles Davis "Standards". With Miles Davis on trumpet, Herbie Hancock on piano, George Coleman on tenor sax, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums. Highly recommended! Listen to the sax playing on Four:
