''Mellow Miles'' is a compilation album of 12 recordings of the “softer side” of the American jazz trumpet player Miles Davis, first released in 1985, all of which are readily accessible to the non-jazz listener thus making this album an “easy-listening”, introductory sampler of the music of Davis.〔''Mellow Miles'' CD cover, Columbia 469440 2.〕 Two of the tracks, “So What” and “Freddie Freeloader”, are Davis compositions from his classic 1959 album ''Kind of Blue'' and feature John Coltrane on tenor saxophone and Julian Cannonball Adderley on alto saxophone. A third, Davis's "Pfrancing" from 1961, features Hank Mobley as tenorman. There are also four jazz standards – George Gershwin’s “Summertime” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So”, “Bye Bye Blackbird” and Thelonious Monk’s “'Round Midnight” – on the album plus two electronic jazz fusion or jazz-rock tracks: Davis’s interpretations of Cindi Lauper’s 1984 hit single “Time After Time” and Michael Jackson's “Human Nature”, both from his 1985 album ''You’re Under Arrest''. ==Track listing== #“Miles” (Miles Davis) (5:40) (from the album ''Milestones'') #“Summertime” (George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin/DuBose Heyward/Arr.
