Green Dolphin Street is from the landmark album Kind of Blue, which has been regarded by many critics as Davis’s masterpiece and one of the greatest jazz albums of all time. It is a studio recording cut in 1959 featuring saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb.
The Dave Brubeck composition In Your Own Sweet Way is part of the album Workin’ With The Miles Davis Quintet. Although recorded in 1956, it wasn’t released until January 1960. Miles, of course, played trumpet, John Coltrane was on tenor sax, Paul Chambers on base, and Philly Joe Jones played drums. To my ear, these were Miles Davis’ finest years.
