Four

by Miles Davis

🎷 Jazz
Difficulty ★★★★☆
Tuning Standard
Capo None

Miles' medium-up bop tune in Eb from 1954, one of his most frequently performed originals. The angular melody navigates sophisticated ii-V-I progressions with characteristic Davis economy, never using a note more than necessary.
