Miles Davis - Baby Won't You Please Come Home

When Mr. Davis left the planet on this date in 1991, he left behind a body of recorded work so large that it would take a good part of anyone's life to hear it all, just like it took him to create it. Case in point: "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" is a ballad that doesn't appear on any of his best-of compilations, but it blows me away. There's one moment when the logic that an ordinary soloist would follow when constructing a solo would require that he blow a quick run of several notes -- instead he plays two notes, quietly. Genius. Recorded in Hollywood, California on April 16, 1963, with Victor Feldman on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Frank Butler on drums.
