Miles Davis - Volume 3 (1954/2014) [Official Digital Download 24-bit/192kHz]

A stunning piece of jazz history, reissued exactly as it originally appeared – right down to the 10' LP format! The record is one of the classic early bop sides that Miles cut for Blue Note, and it features a smoking quartet with Horace Silver on piano and Art Blakey on drums. Titles include 'Take-Off', 'The Leap', and 'Weirdo' – and the cover has this cool image of Miles blowing against an abstract expressionist painting!

Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in 1954, this was the emerging trumpeter's third session recorded for Blue Note. Originally released on a 10" pressing (BLP-5040). The set features the leader Miles with some of his finest playing. His support includes Horace Silver on piano, Percy Heath on bass and Art Blakey behind the drums. The original six selections include "Take Off, Lazy Susan", "The Leap, Well You Needn't", "Weirdo and It Never Entered My Mind".
