Miles Davis Sextet - Someday My Prince Will Come | Vinyl LP - 1974 US Columbia Stereo Reissue (KCS 8456)

  • Miles Davis's 1961 Columbia album featuring his working quintet — Hank Mobley on tenor, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, Jimmy Cobb on drums — with John Coltrane returning as a guest on two tracks; the only studio recording to pair Mobley and Coltrane in the same session
  • Three original compositions by Davis: "Pfrancing" for his wife Frances, "Teo" for producer Teo Macero, and "Drad-Dog" (Goddard Lieberson's name reversed) for the Columbia Records president; three standards including the waltz title track from Disney's 1937 Snow White
  • The last studio encounter between Davis and Coltrane. Coltrane plays on A1 alongside Mobley and appears again on B2 replacing him entirely

Miles Davis recorded Someday My Prince Will Come over three days at Columbia's 30th Street Studio in Manhattan in March 1961. By this point, both Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane had left the group to lead their own bands. Hank Mobley had joined in December 1960 as the new tenor saxophonist, stabilising a line-up that also included Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Teo Macero produced.

Davis brought Coltrane back for two tracks. On the title piece — a waltz drawn from the 1937 Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs — both Mobley and Coltrane solo on the same changes back to back, Mobley's playing measured and lyrical against Coltrane's more intense and harmonically searching approach. The nine-minute track is the only recorded instance of the two tenors on the same session. On "Teo" (B2), Coltrane replaces Mobley entirely. The remaining four tracks are quintet recordings. The album's three Davis originals are encoded with specific dedications: "Pfrancing" — also known as "No Blues" — for his wife Frances, whose image is on the cover; "Teo" for Macero; and "Drad-Dog" — "Goddard" reversed — for Goddard Lieberson, then president of Columbia Records. The three standards are "Someday My Prince Will Come," "Old Folks" and Jimmy Van Heusen's "I Thought About You." This is a 1974 US Columbia stereo reissue of the original 1961 release (Columbia CS 8456).
