It totaled five songs. There are four more songs from that same  historic group, recorded in the same time period and at the same  studio. And here they are. These songs deserve to stand on their own  with artwork to highlight the quality of the music and that matches the  time period of the recording. This is a rare opportunity to have a smash  follow-up to what many consider the greatest jazz record ever!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the years, these four remarkable performances — all from a  single recording session in 1958 and all exemplary of the sound of Miles  Davis' legend-loaded sextet of that year — have not been served well.  They have been largely treated as add-ons for other compilations. Now,  for the first time, Analogue Productions, the audiophile in-house  reissue label of Acoustic Sounds, Inc., together with Quality Record  Prssings, has deservedly given these tracks a stellar stand-alone  release for jazz fans to savor!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe once-in-a-generation lineup that recorded these tunes is the very  same that would be immortalized for the enduring classic they would  record almost a year later, \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e. Davis played trumpet   sublime with his ensemble sextet featuring pianist  Bill Evans, drummer   Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and  saxophonists John Coltrane and   Julian \"Cannonball\" Adderley.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eUndervalued since their recording, the tunes on this album reflect  historial and musical significance. They offer early glimpses into the  modal jazz that \u003cem\u003eKind of Blue\u003c\/em\u003e would bring to the forefront. Using  modes common in modern classical music, rather than the chords of  popular songs, Miles had begun to experiment with the new approach on  the \u003cem\u003eMilestones\u003c\/em\u003e recording sessions previously.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnalogue Productions is proud to present \u003cem\u003eBirth of the Blue\u003c\/em\u003e in  an exclusive first-of-its-kind stand-alone release that reflects our  reputation for meticulous production, capturing authentic sound with  clarity, depth and fidelity that exceeds the audiophile standard. 180-gram 45 RPM double LP pressed at Quality Record Pressings.
