Miles Davis' final official collaboration with arranger
Gil Evans resulted in their weakest project. There were only 27 minutes of music on the original
Quiet Nights LP, and six minutes were taken up by a quintet performance of "Summer Night." The six remaining tracks are enjoyable enough (highlighted by "Once Upon a Summertime" and "Corcovado"), but rather brief, making one wonder why
Evans could not have been persuaded to write more material.
