After both John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley left Miles Davis' quintet, he was caught in the web of seeking suitable replacements. It was a period of trial and error for him that nonetheless yielded some legendary recordings (Sketches of Spain, for one). One of those is Someday My Prince Will Come. The lineup is Davis, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and alternating drummers Jimmy Cobb and Philly Jo Jones. The saxophonist was Hank Mobley on all but two tracks. John Coltrane returns for the title track and "Teo." The set opens with the title, a lilting waltz that nonetheless gets an original treatment here, despite having been recorded by Dave Brubeck. Kelly is in keen form, playing a bit sprightlier than the tempo would allow, and slips flourishes in the high register inside the melody for an "elfin" feel. Davis waxes light and lyrical with his Harmon mute, playing glissando throughout. Mobley plays a strictly journeyman solo, and then Coltrane blows the pack away with a solo so deep inside the harmony it sounds like it's coming from somewhere else. Mobley's real moment on the album is on the next track, "Old Folks," when he doesn't have Coltrane breathing down his neck. Mobley's soul-stationed lyricism is well-suited to his soloing here, and is for the rest of the album except, of course, on "Teo," where Coltrane takes him out again. This is relaxed session; there are no burning tracks here, but there is much in the way of precision playing and a fine exposition of Miles' expansive lyricism

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels - barely a spindle trace to be seen
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces shine like new with nothing but some light and harmless pressing blemishes
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Gorgeous LP and my play-check at volume found just a little surface on the run-ins/quietest sections and the odd light tick - nothing I found at all intrusive - this copy is barely played and any imperfections are more than compensated for by the beautiful deep, rich and warm sound
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Crisp, clean, sharp and fresh - a little age toning to the white on the back - nothing really
