The Hi-Hat ran full force as the main hub for Boston jazz inthe early to mid-fifties. It was the earliest club & restaurant tointroduce the “new” modern jazz, regularly bringing in well-known musiciansand, therefore, big business to the club. The club’s policy was usually to geta name group from New York to headline the show, with the Hi-Hat All Stars(local jazz musicians) playing intermissions. Sometimes, as in this case withMiles Davis, they would hire a single artist who would then play with the AllStars led by Jay Migliori, a young tenor saxophonist from the new generation ofmodernists that revived Boston’s jazz scene.

Most of the tracks on the set are up-tempo jazz tunes, suchas Ray’s Idea, Well You Needn’t, or Miles’ own compositions Dig and Tune Up,delivered with his customary fluency and authoritative conception, in aflexible range of fresh ideas built into well-defined choruses. But he alsoshows his lyrical prowess in the ballads Darn That Dream and Alone Together. InMarch 1955 the Boston section of Down Beat magazine highlighted the trumpeter’sstint at the Hi-Hat. Simply put, “Miles, using local men who swing the Hathigher than ever.”
