In this video lesson, Davy Mooney considers the Miles Davis (or is it John Lewis?) tune “Milestones.” He demonstrates the melody and considers the chromatic harmonies of the A sections.

Special attention is paid to the original version, with Charlie Parker on tenor sax, and the 1994 recording on Joe Henderson’s magnificent album “So Near, So Far.”
