Seven Steps to Heaven
''Seven Steps to Heaven'' is the eighth studio album by jazz musician Miles Davis, released in 1963 by Columbia Records, catalogue CL 2051 and CS 8851 in stereo. Recorded at Columbia's 30th Street Studios in Manhattan, and at Columbia Studios in Los Angeles, it presents the Miles Davis Quintet in transition.
==Background==
After the unfinished sessions for ''Quiet Nights'' in 1962, Davis returned to club work. However, he had a series of health problems in 1962, which made his live dates inconsistent and meant that he missed gigs, with financial repercussions.〔Richard Cook. ''It's About That Time: Miles Davis on and off Record.'' New York: Oxford University Press, 2005. ISBN 978-0-19-532266-8, p. 140.〕〔 Bob Belden. ''Seven Steps to Heaven''. Columbia/Legacy CK 93592, 2005, liner notes p. 10.〕 Faced with diminishing returns, by late 1962 his entire band quit, Hank Mobley to a solo career, and the rhythm section of Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb to work as a unit.〔Cook, p. 142.〕 The departure of Chambers especially was a blow, as he had been the only man still left from the original formation of the quintet in 1955.
With club dates to fulfill, Davis hired several musicians to fill in: Frank Strozier on alto saxophone and Harold Mabern on piano, with George Coleman and Ron Carter arriving early in the year.〔Cook, p. 145.〕 For shows on the West Coast in March, Davis added drummer Frank Butler,〔Belden, liner notes, p. 10〕 but when it came time for the sessions, Davis jettisoned Strozier and Mabern in favor of pianist Victor Feldman.〔Cook, p. 146.〕 With a lucrative career as a session musician, Feldman declined Davis' offer to join the group, and both he and Butler were left behind in California.〔Belden, liner notes p. 12.〕 Back in New York, Davis located the musicians who would be with him for the next six years, Herbie Hancock and Tony Williams; with Carter and Coleman, the new Miles Davis Quintet was in place.〔Belden, liner notes p. 12.〕 Williams, then only 17 years old, had been working with Jackie McLean, and Hancock had already scored a hit single with "Watermelon Man", done by percussionist Mongo Santamaria.〔Cook, pp. 148-49.〕
