"Seven Steps to Heaven" is a 1963 jazz composition by Victor Feldman and Miles Davis.
This iconic jazz standard was introduced in 1963 by the Miles Davis Quintet.
[1] Although Feldman played and recorded with Davis in Los Angeles on Seven Steps to Heaven,[2] and he appears on half of the tracks of the album, the West Coast-based pianist did not want to follow Davis to New York, where the album version of the composition was finally recorded with Herbie Hancock on piano.
[3] Seven Steps to Heaven is a 32-bar composition in AABA form; it has an intro, an interlude and an ending - but these are the same.
[4] It was originally played in an up-tempo swing style in the key of F Major.
