Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Recorded in the summer of 1955, this session was a half-year after the famed meeting of Davis & Jackson with Thelonious Monk on Christmas Eve 1954. The special chemistry of Miles & Milt is further enhanced on the 2 numbers written by Jackie McLean where the composer's alto saxophone makes the group a sextet. Ray Bryant, in his introduction to a wider jazz audience, is also represented by one tune. The second number is Thad Jones. OJC/Fantasy Records.

5 out of 5 stars Kind of Green.......2006-03-13

Miles was one of the originator of the "Cool" tone, and we can't be grateful enough to him and to Gil Evans for that. This record is a brilliant example of his dueting abilities, as he and Bags steal the show. I won't say much about Milt Jackson, as everyone would agree that he masters the vibraphone with eloquence, style and impeccable technique.

In 1954, when Miles recorded with the personnel of one of his famous first Quintet (picking up his best bandmates in this period, inmho), who do you think "Bags" was in "Bag's Groove"?

If you're into mid-fifties Miles like me, grab : All of his 1952 to 54 Master Takes , the Modern Jazz Giants concert, and Bag's New Groove (it's Miles with the MJQ, whatever they call it). The Coltrane-Miles association, which occured later on, is heavily documented.

Do I need to mention that the brilliant Jackie McLean is on Alto Sax during this session?

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing to Miles fan.......2000-09-08

You'll find better works out there, particularly if you're a Miles fan. The emphasis here is on Milt Jackson and his vibraphone, which gives the album a light, airy feeling. Missing is much of Miles' horn and sentiment. You also get a bit shortchanged with a mere 30 minutes of music. I would call this a "pleasant" album, which in my jazz-world is not a happy thing.
