{"product_id":"miles-davis-bopping-the-blues-3-lp-vinyl","title":"Miles Davis – Bopping The Blues (3-LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded when Davis was just 20 years old, this 1946 session captures a musician on the verge of reshaping jazz forever, still finding his voice alongside heavyweights who would define the bebop era. The supporting cast alone, Ammons burning through changes, Blakey propelling the rhythm section, makes this essential listening well beyond its historical footnote status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e180gm vinyl LP pressing. One of Miles Davis' earliest recording sessions. The very first known instance of the famed trumpeter playing in an \"open\" style, and in a band with legendary tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons and drummer Art Blakey. Need any more be said? Very few jazz albums possess more historical import and wow-inspiring significance than Bopping the Blues, which documents a 1946 session in which Davis supported a group and two singers, Earl Coleman and Ann Baker, in a splendid bop affair. Yes, it's got that elusive Holy Grail quality. Originally released by the UK label Black Lion, an imprint that specialized in resurrecting rare gems from US jazz and blues legends, Bopping the Blues marks what are indisputably Davis' initial open-voiced contributions and a can't-miss opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to get closer to the man and his music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Don't Sing Me The Blues (Take 1) (2:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Don't Sing Me The Blues (Take 2) (2:55)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. I've Always Got The Blues (Take 1 Incomplete) (2:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. I've Always Got The Blues (Take 2) (3:11)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. I've Always Got The Blues (Take 3) (2:51)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Don't Explain To Me Baby (Take 1) (3:05)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Don't Explain To Me Baby (Take 2) (2:54)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Don't Explain To Me Baby (Take 3) (2:59)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Don't Explain To Me Baby (Take 4) (2:57)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Baby, Won't You Make Up Your Mind (Take 1) (2:58)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Baby, Won't You Make Up Your Mind (Take 2) (2:59)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Baby, Won't You Make Up Your Mind (Take 3) (3:13)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Don't Sing Me The Blues (Take 1) (2:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Don't Sing Me The Blues (Take 2) (2:55)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. I've Always Got The Blues (Take 1 Incomplete) (2:18)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide D\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. I've Always Got The Blues (Take 2) (3:11)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. I've Always Got The Blues (Take 3) (2:51)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Don't Explain To Me Baby (Take 1) (3:05)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide E\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Don't Explain To Me Baby (Take 2) (2:54)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Don't Explain To Me Baby (Take 3) (2:59)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Don't Explain To Me Baby (Take 4) (2:57)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide F\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Baby, Won't You Make Up Your Mind (Take 1) (2:58)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Baby, Won't You Make Up Your Mind (Take 2) (2:59)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Baby, Won't You Make Up Your Mind (Take 3) (3:13)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 711574703111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Org Music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.7.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\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 Black Lion Records (BLP 60102);
