HAPPY THANKSGIVING: If I Were a Bell performed by The Miles Davis Quintet - Some folks like to pack in the holidays with all sorts of activities and cooking and more activities. That seems overly exhausting. For me, the holidays are a time to chill, sit back, and relax.
The best way to relax is to put on some Miles Davis. This track kicks off the Relaxin’ album, one of four with his first great quintet featuring John Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. It was originally a song from the musical Guys and Dolls, but Miles has made this tune his own and in turn made it into a jazz standard performed by countless artists.
Have a happy and joyous Thanksgivings holiday!
