Editor's review
If you've only heard the "Kind of Blue" classic "So What" in its original cool, you'll be stunned by this early-'60s veer into speedy hard bop. Playing with a fantastic five (Davis, Hancock, Williams, Carter, and Coleman) the Miles of this live session is locked in a fiery, pre-avant-garde groove.
