Seven Steps to Heaven finds Miles Davis standing yet again on the fault line
between stylistic epochs. In early 1963, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul
Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb left to form their own trio, and Davis was
forced to form a new band, which included Memphis tenor player George Coleman
and bassist Ron Carter. When Davis next entered the studio in Hollywood, he
added local drummer Frank Butler and British studio ace Victor Feldman, who
ultimately decided not to go on the road with Davis. It's easy to see why Davis
liked Feldman, who contributed the dancing title tune and "Joshua" to the
session. On three mellifluous standards — particularly a cerebral "Basin
Street Blues" and a broken-hearted "I Fall in Love Too Easily" — the
pianist plays with an elegant, refined touch, and the kind of rarefied voicings
that suggest Ahmad Jamal. Davis responds with some of his most introspective,
romantic ballad playing. When Davis returned to New York he finally succeeded in
spiriting away a brilliantly gifted 17-year-old drummer from Jackie McLean: Tony
Williams. On the title tune you can already hear the difference, as his crisp,
driving cymbal beat and jittery, aggressive syncopations propel Davis into the
upper reaches of his horn. On "So Near, So Far" the drummer combines with Carter
and new pianist Herbie Hancock to expand on a light Afro-Cuban beat with a
series of telepathic changes in tempo, texture, and dynamics. Meanwhile,
Feldman's "Joshua" (with its overtones of "So What" and "All Blues") portends
the kind of expressive variations on the basic 4/4 pulse that would become the
band's trademark, as Davis and Coleman ascend into bebop heaven.
