This song from the 1957 debut album of jazz trumpeter Miles Davis really launched his rise to superstardom. That's because it was his performance of it at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1955, with the song's composer, piano player Thelonius Monk, that caught the attention of Columbia Records and why they offered Davis a recording contract. The album, Round About Midnight, referred to the title song: Round Midnight. It is one of the most covered jazz standards and one of most minor songs I've ever heard. It is almost all minor chords, and some of them are very beautiful.
So, here is Paul Popa's and my rendition of Round Midnight. This is the last song for a while because I am busy making a movie, the sequel to My Stretch of Texas Ground. I thank everyone who has listened to our songs, I hope you enjoy this one with its rich minor chords.
