Someday My Prince Will Come was the seventh studio recording for Miles Davis and featured his working quintet (Winton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb, and Hank Mobley, with cameos by ex-band members John Coltrane and Philly Joe Jones). The album included a combination of standards and Miles Davis originals, and was described in a Down Beat review as one of Davis' most "romantic, bluesy, and intentionally seductive programs."

Emmanuel Echem is one the most creative young trumpet players around town. Barely out of college, he is already a member of the Nashville Jazz Composers Collective. His playing shows an authority and maturity beyond his years. Equally at home with standards and original compositions, Emmanuel is the ideal leader for this performance!
