Vinyl LP

Here are tracks from one of the truly classic sessions, in which a combination of jazz giants gathered in Rudy Van Gelder's studio on a chilly Christmas Eve in 1954. With Thelonious Monk and three quarters of the Modern Jazz Quartet (Jackson, Heath, and Clarke) as his accomplices, Miles Davis blends sophisticated harmonic knowledge with raw, spontaneous invention to produce extraordinary music.

This is a strong addition to any jazz collection. Music here is performed by a veritable group of jazz greats, hence the title. Davis is joined by John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Milt Jackson, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Percy Heath, Philly Joe Jones, and Kenny Clarke.

"Including sessions recorded the same day as those on Bags Groove, this album includes more classic performances from the date...a great deal of brilliant music occurred on the day of their encounter, including "The Man I Love," "Bemsha Swing," and "Swing Spring."" -Scott Yanow, allmusic.com
