COMENTARIO
A principios de 1963, el pianista Wynton Kelly, el bajista Paul Chambers y el baterista Jimmy Cobb se habían ido del lado de Davis para formar su propio trío, y Miles se vio obligado a formar una nueva banda, que incluía al tenor George Coleman y al bajista Ron Carter. Cuando ingresó al estudio agregó el baterista local de Frank Butler y al pianista Victor Feldman, quien decidió no ir de gira con Davis. A Davis le gustaba tocar con Feldman (su estilo recuerda a Ahmad Jamal, el pianista favorito de Davis), quien contribuyó mucho en éste álbum. También sumal jóven baterista Tony Williams con solo 17 años y se nota de inmediato su estilo en este disco. También se suma otro joven pianista: Herbie Hancock.
