Dear Old Stockholm

I know the "Round About Midnight" crew gets all the love for their recording of this tune, but in my opinion the earlier 1952 version just has them all beat. And all respect to Trane (always) but Jackie McLean's solo in the '52 version is one of my all time favorites...

Miles Davis - Trumpet
