Article Title
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)

Chronology
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)

Recording Dates
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)

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

"(old)'[...] the Prestige contractual obligation sessions (eventually released as the albums Miles, Relaxin, Workin, Steamin', and Cookin')'"

(new)"Prestige albums recorded by the same personnel in 1955–1956:
 * Miles: The New Miles Davis Quintet (1955)
 * Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet (1956)
 * Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet (1956)
 * Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet (1956)
 * Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet (1956)" --StephenDaedalus (talk) 22:19, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

What does this mean
"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)
