Tony Williams drives this tune at a ferocious pace, Herbie Hancock is on piano, Ron Carter on bass, Wayne Shorter on saxophone. No mystery that Miles Smiles...

Today, I go back to a 1954 tune recorded with Sonny Rollins, actually a composition of the saxophone player.
Airegin
Percy Heath is on bass, Kenny Clarke on drums, Horace Silver on piano, Miles Davis on trumpet and Sonny Rollins on tenor saxophone.
(After a characteristic afro-cuban introduction, this tune turns into pure hard bop. It's hard to realize that the rhythm section had founded the Modern Jazz Quartet a few years before. Recorded in June 1954.)

To celebrate the works of this musician whose 100th birthday was yesterday, let's listen to this melancholic improvised piece that opens Louis Malle's 1957 movie *Ascenseur pour l'échafaud* (Lift to the gallows). The atmosphere is quiet but already somber, and the drama will unfold soon.
René Urtreger is on piano, Pierre Michelot on bass, Kenny Clarke on drums.
