Joshua is a 1963 jazz standard written by Miles Davis and pianist Victor Feldman. It was introduced by the Miles Davis Quintet in 1963 and appears on the album Seven Steps to Heaven. The track runs about 6 minutes and 26 seconds and was released on Columbia with Teo Macero as producer. The tune is known for its tricky mixed-meter feel, which has challenged players and led to various renditions over the years. Notable covers include Miles Davis on Seven Steps to Heaven (1963) and Four & More (1964), and Joe Henderson's So Near, So Far (Musings for Miles) (1992). Joshua has become a jazz standard performed and recorded by many artists.
