'Round About Midnight / Miles Davis
Hipness Personified: Miles Davis' 'Round About Midnight Features Famed Quintet with John Coltrane Playing Memorable Hard Bop and Ballads
Sourced from the Original Master Tapes and Pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl
Mobile Fidelity's 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP presents the music with Engrossing Transparency, Presence, and Focus
Numbered-Edition Reissue of 1957 Album Features Ultra-Low Noise Floor, Dead-Quiet Surfaces, and Superb Groove Definition
Miles Davis' first album for Columbia, 'Round About Midnight, represents the beginning of a three-decade-plus relationship with the famed label and the start of an extended collaboration with saxophonist John Coltrane. It stands as a hard-bop benchmark - a summation of the styles that came before it's creation, an immersion into the period's cutting-edge strains, and a hint of the modalism that would follow. The record remains ageless, it's fundamental cool epitomized by first-rate arrangements and astonishing performances of pensive ballads, bebop classics, and pop standards.
Part of Mobile Fidelity's Miles Davis SuperVinyl reissue series, Round About Midnight resonates with newfound palpability and emotionalism on the label's 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl LP. Sourced from the original master tapes and housed in a Stoughton jacket, this numbered-edition collectible traces the individual paths each musician takes in contributing to the whole - from pianist Red Garland's left hand weaving counter-melodic chords to Coltrane infusing a tune with forward, harmony-defying patterns to the extent that iconic pianist Cecil Taylor declared 'Coltrane's what you hear on that record' the first time he heard the album. Indeed, the music sounds cohesive, immediate, and involving. Ballads are warm, lush, gentle, illuminated; upbeat pieces bounce, snap, and energize. The high ceilings at Columbia's 30th Street Studio doubtlessly add to the sonic awe. This is hipness personified.
