Miles Davis Quintet - So What

Miles Davis Quintet - So What by Delta_Mike
A classic from the golden days of televised jazz: CBS producer Robert Herridge (seen talking) brought to CBS studio 61 in NYC on April 2, 1959 Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb to give us their masterpiece "So What".

This date was taped for The Sound of Miles Davis, an installment of The Robert Herridge Theater. Cannonball Adderley was absent because of a migraine headache, which may explain why Davis solos twice on "So What," both before and after Coltrane. Broadcast on July 21, 1960. A jazz moment to cherish forever.
