i-Pod listening in the garden this PM.
1961 release, being the fourth from this classic line-up to come from a batch of 1956 sessions.
Miles on trumpet, with Coltrane on Tenor, Red Garland on Piano, Paul Chambers on Bass, and Philly Joe Jones on Drums.
A mixture of Bop, Swing, and late night tracks, impeccably delivered by a band at the top of their game.
Wonderful album (Check out this, Relaxin', Cookin', or Workin' for some first class Jazz).
AllMusic 5/5 stars.

There was a 5th in what I think of as the Apostrophe Series (also Walkin', released in '54, though with a totally different group, qualifies) and would constitute career bests by many lesser artists.
