マイルス・デイヴィスはこの曲がお気に入りのようで、何度も録音しています。
記録に残っているのでは、最初の録音は Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet (1957) になるのではないでしょうか。

はて、1923年のベッシー・スミスの録音が大ヒットして以来、多くのジャズメンに演奏歌唱され続け大スタンダード曲になっているこの曲、とりわけディキシーランド・ジャズ風演奏が多くの人の記憶に残っているこの曲をマイルス・デイヴィスは録音していたのだろうか、ちょ〜っと思い浮かばないなぁと思うのが普通じゃないかと考えるのですが、彼は Miles Davis – Seven Steps To Heaven (1963) にこの曲を録音していたのです。
Oh baby, won't you please come home
'Cause your mama's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day, you will hear me say
Baby, won't you please come home
When you left you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day, you will hear me say
Oh baby, my baby
Baby, won't you please come home
'Cause your mama needs some lovin'
Baby, won't you please come on home

born with the lightning and thunder
sound descending proud and bright restless as the wind
singing god in the night.
traveling miles
crossing time shifting style
traveling miles... and miles
you can hear him humming on a country road
as the shadows grow to night
swinging through seventh avenue underneath the city lights
ringing out with no fear or doubt we can live our dreams right now right now
did you ever love somebody? did you ever really care? did you ever need somebody, just to rub your hair
all the energy we spend on motion, all the circuitry and time is there any way to feel a body through fiber optic lines?
everybody's going through the motions
got their heads up or down
no one seems to want to see the other person's eyes reflect the world go 'round
everybody seems to want to get away to someplace get away from themselves
i got a feeling if they found that someplace
they'll want to go someplace else.
do we really want to go to mars?
do we ever really want to try?
i got a funny feeling if we get up there we're gonna stop and wonder why
everybody's going through the motions
got their heads up or down
no one seems to want to see the other person's eyes reflect the world go 'round
everybody seems to want to get away to someplace get away from themselves
i got a feeling if they found that someplace
they'll want to go someplace else.
do we really want to go to mars?
do we ever really want to try?
i got a funny feeling if we get up there we're gonna stop and wonder why...
don't you want to be right here, right now?
マイルス・デイヴィスは Miles Davis – You're Under Arrest (1985) にこの曲を録音しています。
https://www.discogs.com/ja/master/65133-Miles-Davis-Youre-Under-Arrest
多くのジャズファンがそっぽを向いたアルバムだったような…
don't want to close the door on you don't want us to die
don't want to live my life through you
then sit and wonder why
how can we get our love back
got turned around
i just want to see you
when the sun goes down
it's as simple as that
i want to see you when the sun goes down no more than that
don't want to play no games with you not anymore
don't want to put no chains on you
I've been there before
and i don't want to call down the rain on you just to hear the thunder roar
i just want to see you when the sun goes down
and when the stars fall into the dawn
i'll be stirring in your arms
come the morning when i'm feeling a flame
i wonder do you feel the same way
do you feel the same
well it don't matter no way
作曲: Miles Davis, Victor Feldman
作詞: Cassandra Wilson
作曲年 1963
マイルス・ディヴィスが書いた代表曲の一つですね。
Miles Davis – Seven Steps To Heaven (1972)
https://www.discogs.com/ja/release/11354167-Miles-Davis-Seven-Steps-To-Heaven
このアルバムには2種類のセッションが入っていて、作曲者の Victor Feldman(p), Frank Butler(ds) が入ったセッションと、Herbie Hancock(p), Anthony Williams(ds) が入ったセッションがあります。
このアルバムのこのトラックでは、作曲者 Victor Feldman ではなく Herbie Hancock が入ったセッションになっています。
ところが〜…、Victor Feldman が入ったセッションでもこの曲が録音されていたのです。

https://www.discogs.com/ja/release/15381065-Miles-Davis-Seven-Steps-The-Complete-Columbia-Recordings-Of-Miles-Davis-1963-1964
こちらの方はちょっと耳にすることがない録音になるでしょう。
ウェスト・コースト・ジャズがお好きな人、Victor Feldman がお好きな人にとっては興味深い録音になるのではないでしょうか。
seven steps to heaven lord
(help me) climb that road
steady but uneven lord
(help me) climb that road
we're so unbelievably strong yet so ill at ease
we ascend as we please
we'll be standing at those gates
seven steps create
マイルス・デイヴィスは、アルバム Someday My Prince Will Come にこの曲を録音しています。

マイルス・デイヴィスの当時の奥方、フランがアルバム・ジャケットになっている有名アルバムですね。
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Taylor_Davis
マイルス・デイヴィスのアルバムには、このフランの写真を使ったものがもう一枚
In Person Friday and Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk, Complete
があります。
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Person_Friday_and_Saturday_Nights_at_the_Blackhawk,_Complete
また "Fran Dance" という曲をマイルス・デイヴィスは書いています。
マイルス・デイヴィスの自伝的映画 Miles Ahead では、フラン(フランシス)を Emayatzy Corinealdi が演じていました。
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emayatzy_Corinealdi
このアルバムはマイルス・デイヴィスの Second Great Quintet と呼ばれるメンバーの最初のアルバムになります。
Davis on trumpet, Wayne Shorter on tenor saxophone, Herbie Hancock on piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Tony Williams on drums.
ちなみにマイルス・デイヴィスの First Great Quintet は
with Sonny Rollins on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums
First Great Quintet from 1955 to 1958, and the Second Great Quintet from late 1964 to early 1969,
Over tones over waves of laughter
Under hues deepest blues hereafter
We touch souls and the moment glows
Here and now, we are far more than our senses
Every year brings us near to heaven
Every breath drawn in pain and pleasure
We embrace through the nights and days
Here and now our love
Circle is never broken
Over tones over waves of laughter
Under hues deepest blues hereafter
We touch souls and the moment glows
Here and now, we are far more than our senses
Every year brings us near to heaven
Every breath drawn in pain and pleasure
We embrace through the nights and days
Then and now our love
Circle is never broken
Circle is never broken
Circle is never broken
Circle is never broken
Circle is never broken
Circle is never broken
tossed between the sky and sea,
we'll sail until we find the harbor lights.
our life is but a dream of blue in green
although it seems the end draws nearer with each passing day,
we'll always sail this way until we find our home.
with soulful wit and gestures sleek
he completes every waking wish
from deepest sleep we travel home
on his tone with our hopes adrift
piper play me a song
piper play me a song
piper play me a song
to last all day long
the marketplace is filled with schemes
and it seems they will never end
I've been here since light of day
seen each play, now's my time to win
piper play me a song...
to last all day long
we're floating on your sweetest melody
and traveling through life's greatest mystery
see how the night is on the run
from a sun that our hearts reclaim
between the silence and the sound
we are bound by the same refrain
マイルス・デイヴィス自身の録音は
Miles Davis – 'Round About Midnight (1957) が最初になります。

これはあまりにも有名な演奏ですね。
彼はその後何度かこの曲を録音しています。

彼が我々の前に現れたのは Horace Silver - Song For My Father (1964) がラジオから流れてきたあたりではなかったでしょうか。
当時のジャズ喫茶でも人気のアルバムでした。
太い音色で、ブルースに根差した彼の演奏は世に強く印象付けられました。
そして自身の名を冠した名作 Joe Henderson – Page One (1963) が相次いでリリースされ、さらにわれわれの注目を浴びることになります。
実は彼はこの頃単独で来日しており、東京のライブハウスに出演しています。
たまたまこの時のライブに触れたジャズ評論家たちからは、決して高い評価をうけませんでした。
このあたりのことは彼がこの頃ケニー・ドーハムらと Blue Note に残しら録音からも推測できます。
