"Quiet Nights" is an album recorded in 1962 and 1963 by Miles Davis and Gil Evans. The first six tunes were recorded in 1962 with an orchestra conducted by Evans, and "Summer Night" was recorded in 1963 by Davis with a short-lived quintet (George Coleman, Victor Feldman, Ron Carter and Frank Butler), during the sessions for the album "Seven Steps to Heaven", although Coleman lays out on this number. Davis regarded the 27-minute album of bossa-nova songs as an unfinished project, and its release against Davis's wishes caused a lengthy breach with producer Teo Macero.
