Miles Davis walked off the stage
That’s what the folks are all saying
Oh yes he did leave the stage
After his solo was all over
Coltrane he walked off the stage
That’s what the folks are all saying
Yes they both left the stage
Clean out of sight
They felt they had to rehearse
Although we know they are masters
They get a real Groovy sound
And you will have to admit it
Yes they both left the stage
Soon as their solo’s were over
And if you can’t figure out
Their groove I’d like to help you
So what!
Miles Davis, trumpet; John Coltrane, tenor; Wynton Kelly, piano; Paul Chambers, bass; Jimmy Cobb, drums; Gil Evans Orchestra, background riffs. 2 Apr 1959, Studio 61.
I'm a 12 year old drummer and asked my teacher to teach me jazz and this is the first jazz song I learned. So glad I asked him. This song is just amazing and I can listen to it for hours.
I’ve heard of the musician. I even heard this musical solo with accompaniment played by someone else at a jazz club long time ago. It’s a pleasure to get to know the origin of this masterpiece.
