Miles Davis: Walkin' (+9 Bonus Tracks)

Recorded in 1954, Walkin' contains a mixture of quintet and sextet Quintet and sextet material and is considered an important album for the development of Bop music. A genre that Miles Davies had a lasting influence on with his work with his work. The Fuga was to be Castelnuovo‐Tedesco’s parting gift to the world, and the Sonatina canonica that follows takes us back to his first composition for two guitars, one which the composer himself described as a ‘modest’ little piece. Once again drawing on a hugely diverse range of material, it’s an engaging conclusion to a set for which the artists have paid especial attention to the original manuscripts, determined to achieve performances worthy of the great Italian maestro. This they certainly attain; Pace and Poli Cappelli, whose duo has in little over a year become one of the most sought‐after of its kind, marry virtuosic display with sensitive, intelligent readings.
