StLJN Saturday at the Movies: Miles Davis with the Gil Evans Orchestra playing "Blues for Pablo" and "The Duke"

Our final installment of Saturday videos for 2007 features a couple of vintage clips from perennial StLJN favorite Miles Davis.

Both videos are from the same session in 1959, and feature Davis accompanied by saxophonist John Coltrane, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb, and a fifteen-piece band arranged and conducted by Miles' famed collaborator Gil Evans. The first clip is "Blues for Pablo," an Evans composition, and the second is "The Duke," which was written by pianist Dave Brubeck but here receives a distinctive interpretation from Davis and Evans.
