 Walkin' is a manifesto of hard-bop, bringing jazz back to its Afro-American roots with fiery expression and catchy melodies.

 The torrential title-track breaks the delay, a rhythmical blues with a relaxed, elastic pace, opened by the three horns in unison, creating a sound wall worthy of a small orchestra.

Miles Davis' 1954 album Walkin' marks a pivotal moment in jazz history, spearheading the hard-bop style characterized by a simpler, warmer, and more aggressive sound. Featuring key collaborators like Horace Silver and J.J. Johnson, the album revives Afro-American jazz expression and sets new standards. The two recording sessions showcase improvisational brilliance and rhythmic innovation. Walkin' remains a cornerstone work that influenced subsequent jazz ensembles and the New York jazz resurgence. Dive into Miles Davis' Walkin' and experience the electrifying birth of hard-bop.
