Miles Davis – Saturday Night: Miles Davis In Person At The Blackhawk, San Francisco (Vol. II)
A powerful live document of the Miles Davis Quintet captured at The Blackhawk in San Francisco in April 1961, this second volume showcases the group at a transitional and highly creative moment. Featuring Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Jimmy Cobb (drums), the band delivers extended, driving performances that bridge the hard bop intensity of the 1950s with the modal sophistication that would define Miles’ next phase.
The Blackhawk recordings are prized for their raw club atmosphere, tight ensemble interplay and Miles’ economical yet emotionally charged trumpet work. Volume II contains alternate performances distinct from Volume I, making it essential for collectors seeking the complete Blackhawk experience.
