Still mourning the departure of John Coltrane, who had left him in the spring of 1960, Miles Davis tried to imagine what other saxophonist could make him forget the fire of Trane’s music. He thought of Wayne Shorter, but Art Blakey had just hired him for his group, the Jazz Messengers. It was with former Jazz Messenger Hank Mobley that on March 7, 1961, he attempted to recapture the miracle of “Blue In Green” on “Drad-Dog.” But he quickly returned to the hard bop tradition on “Pfrancing,” a play on the words dancing, frantic and prancing, in tribute to his by then wife Frances Taylor, who appeared on the cover. During the next session, while Miles was about to wrap up “Someday My Prince Will Come,” John Coltrane suddenly appeared in the studio between two sets at the Apollo Theater where he was performing. In two choruses, Coltrane conveyed the quintessence of his art. The next day he returned bringing, for the last time, the intensity of his flame to the music of Miles, who in “Teo,” took advantage of his presence to extend the modal explorations of “Flamenco Sketches” even further.
Note: “Drad-Dog,” track 4, is Goddard spelled backwards. It is Miles’ tribute to Goddard Lieberson, the highly regarded and very supportive President of Columbia Records at the time of this recording.

Todavía de luto por la partida de John Coltrane, que lo había abandonado en la primavera de 1960, Miles Davis trató de imaginar qué otro saxofonista podría hacerle olvidar el fuego de la música de Trane. Pensó en Wayne Shorter, pero Art Blakey acababa de contratarlo para su grupo, los Jazz Messengers. Fue con el ex mensajero de jazz Hank Mobley que el 7 de marzo de 1961 intentó recuperar el milagro de "Blue In Green" en "Drad-Dog". Pero rápidamente volvió a la tradición del hard bop en "Pfrancing", un juego de palabras bailando, frenético y saltando, en homenaje a su entonces esposa Frances Taylor, que apareció en la portada. Durante la siguiente sesión, mientras Miles estaba a punto de concluir "Someday My Prince Will Come", John Coltrane apareció de repente en el estudio entre dos sets en el Apollo Theater donde estaba actuando. En dos coros, Coltrane transmitió la quintaesencia de su arte. Al día siguiente volvió trayendo, por última vez, la intensidad de su llama a la música de Miles, que en "Teo" aprovechó su presencia para ampliar aún más las exploraciones modales de "Flamenco Sketches".
Nota: "Drad-Dog", pista 4, es Goddard escrito al revés. Es el tributo de Miles a Goddard Lieberson, el muy respetado y solidario presidente de Columbia Records en el momento de esta grabación.
