Miles Davis Sextet & Quintet – Walkin’

This title contains two of the classic Miles Davis sessions of 1954 which made all the critics who hailed his appearance at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival a “comeback” seem like a pack of Rip Van Winkles.

The story of Walking, insofar as I know it, goes back to 1950 when Prestige issued a record by Gene Ammons, its them is almost identical, but not note for note.
