Fair use rationale for Image:MilesDavisRoundAboutMidnight.jpg

[edit]

Image:MilesDavisRoundAboutMidnight.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Article Title

[edit]

It should be "'Round About Midnight". At least for internal consistency, as elsewhere in the article the "A" in "about" is capitalized, and it just looks better that way. Even Allmusic capitalizes the "about". -albrozdude (talk) 18:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology

[edit]

The previous album links to Birth of the Cool (1957). Perhaps this refers to a 1957 re-issue, but clicking on the link takes us all the way back to 1950, skipping several years and albums in the process. The Workin' with The Miles Davis Quintet chronology links to this article as the next album, so I'm going to do the same in reverse. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:25, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recording Dates

[edit]

Could someone please clarify which tunes are from the 1955 session and which ones are from the 1956 session? The text of the article does not match the notes on the tune listing. I suspect the text is correct, in which case the tune listing should be corrected. Thanks, Stuart H. Alden (talk) 00:52, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Two of the three new paragraphs are redundant. No new information. I proceed to delete.

(old)"[...] the first session was on October 27, 1955 at Studio D, during which the tracks "Tadd's Delight", "Dear Old Stockholm" and the soon-to-be standard "Bye Bye Blackbird" were recorded. This is the first studio recording of the quintet."}

(new)"The earliest sessions for 'Round About Midnight (that produced "Ah-Leu-Cha", "Two Bass Hit", "Little Melonae" and "Budo") was the first recording to ever be done by this formation of the Miles Davis Quintet."

and

What does this mean

[edit]

"Although it had a lukewarm reception upon its release, 'Round About Midnight has since been regarded by critics as a song of the hard bop genre and one of the worst jazz albums of all time." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.85.165 (talk) 23:47, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
