Description: On the cover of *Workin' With the Miles Davis Quintet*, the trumpeter leans against a modest brick stoop at 447 W 50th St, looking more like a quiet neighborhood regular than the architect of modern jazz. Recorded in the mid-1950s but released in 1959, the album catches Davis, Coltrane, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones in razor-sharp form, even as the cover shows Miles in an almost off-duty calm, suit pressed, horn case by his side. Standing on this Hell’s Kitchen block today, you can imagine him slipping downtown to the clubs, already plotting the next revolution in sound. This is one of the evocative NYC stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
