{"product_id":"miles-davis-birth-of-the-blue-lp-vinyl","title":"Miles Davis – Birth Of The Blue (2026 Reissue)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded just months before the *Kind of Blue* sessions that would change jazz forever, these four performances capture the same constellation of musicians, the same Columbia 30th Street Studio, and the same modal instincts already taking shape. John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball Adderley, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb are all present, and hearing them in this dedicated context makes clear how much was percolating before that February 1959 morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMiles Davis's Kind of Blue was the number-one jazz album in history. 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! Through 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! The 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, Kind of Blue. 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. Undervalued since their recording, the tunes on this album reflect historial and musical significance. They offer early glimpses into the modal jazz that Kind of Blue 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 Milestones recording sessions previously. Analogue Productions is proud to present Birth of the Blue in an exclusive first-of-it's-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198028166317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Analogue Prod.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.19.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. On Green Dolphin Street\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Fran-Dance\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Stella By Starlight\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Love For Sale\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Analogue Productions (APJ 172); Columbia (19802816621); Sony Music (19802816621)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 On Green Dolphin Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Fran-Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Stella By Starlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Love For Sale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCannonball Adderley – Alto Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Chambers (3) – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJames Wolf (4) – Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJimmy Cobb – Drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChad Kassem – Executive-Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatthew Lutthans – Lacquer Cut By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAshley Kahn – Liner Notes (March 2024)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatthew Lutthans – Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVic Anesini – Mixed By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon Hunstein – Photography By (Rear Cover And Inside Gatefold Photos)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBill Evans – Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteve Berkowitz – Supervised By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Coltrane – Tenor Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiles Davis – Trumpet, Leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547582910782,"sku":"183138741","price":104.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633223692606-transparent-v2.png?v=1791443368","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/miles-davis-birth-of-the-blue-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
