Seven Steps to Heaven is a studio album by the jazz musician Miles Davis. It was released through Columbia Records on July 15, 1963.[1] The recording took place at Columbia Studios in Los Angeles in April 1963, and at Columbia's 30th Street Studios in Manhattan in May 1963. It presents the Miles Davis Quintet in transition, with the New York session introducing the rhythm section of Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams, who would become Davis' regular sidemen for the next five years. Upon release, the album was Davis' most successful on the Billboard pop LPs chart up to that point, peaking at number 62.
