"The session of March 16, 1956, is one of most beautiful, laid-back, floating-on-a-cloud experiences one can have," writes jazz critic Ira Gitler. "The first time I listened to it, I replayed it three times." On that date with Davis were Rollins, Flanagan, Chambers, and Taylor; the tunes chosen were "Vierd Blues," "No Line," and Dave Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way." Because of label conflicts, the pseudonym "Charlie Chan" was used for sax great Charlie Parker on the 1953 date, which yielded "The Serpent’s Tooth" (Take 1 and Take 2), "’Round Midnight," and "Compulsion." "His sound on trumpet, full and nearly vibratoless, is utterly personalized, filled with tense melancholy and hard-headed delicacy. He is a master of voicelike inflections, able to bend notes and turn phrases that tease new meanings from a harmony…. From the 50's onward, Mr. Davis pared away complexities of structure, including the sharp-angled tunes and fancy chords of the be-bop he started with, in favor of on-the-spot interplay and mercurial emotion."—NYTimes "Classic if often overlooked music from a variety of immortal jazzmen."—All Music Guide
