Thelonious Monk's Brilliant Corners is a landmark title in the pianist's celebrated catalog. The 1957 album not only introduces several Monk originals, but also features an all-star lineup, including Sonny Rollins, Max Roach and Paul Chambers.
Miles '55 offers a deeper look at 1955, the year in which jazz icon Miles Davis formed his first great quintet (John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones) and established his influential sound.
