Someday My Prince Will Come is a studio album by Miles Davis, recorded in March of 1961 in New York City. It garnered significant critical acclaim, with reviewers praising Davis' precision playing and expansive lyricism.2 While the liner notes credit the Miles Davis Sextet, only the title track featured six players, with John Coltrane joining the Miles Davis Quintet, which is featured on the bulk of the record. It marked the last time Davis would record with Coltrane and drummer Philly Joe Jones and was the only Davis Quintet studio session to feature saxophonist Hank Mobley.
