Presented in chronological order, these brilliant tracks from Davis' five years with Prestige Records thrillingly document his growth as both soloist and bandleader. It's fascinating and delightful to hear how the master trumpeter progresses from the angular, speedy post-bop of "Morpheus" and the blithely hip "Four" to the bluesy strut of "Walkin'", arguably the birth of hard bop. And check his liquid tone on the aching "There Is No Greater Love" and his almost sinister, noir-ish first recording of Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight".
