'Genius' is a term often used in the music world, and few would dispute its attribution to the one and only Miles Davis. Released in 1956, 'Volume 1' brings together recording sessions from May 1952 and March 1954 for the Blue Note label. Discover this true Bebop gem, reissued as a 180-gram vinyl edition.
During the '52 recording session, Miles Davis was surrounded by giants like Jay Jay Johnson (trombone), Jackie McLean (saxophone), Gil Coggings (piano), Oscar Pettiford (double bass), and the metronomic Kenny Clarke (drums). For the March 1954 session, he was joined by heavyweights such as Horace Silver (piano), Percy Heath (double bass), and the legendary Art Blakey (drums). Between these two sessions, Miles Davis was struggling, as best he could, to overcome the ravages caused by his excessive heroin use.
