MILES DAVIS – BOPPING THE BLUES: 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. Limited, numbered deluxe package, only 500 units made on each - presented on 3LP 180gram vinyl (1x33rpm, 2x45rpm). LP jackets feature exclusive art. Historical Black Lion/ORG Music reissue is afforded the ultimate in audiophile production standards, resulting in sonics and presentation befitting the museum-like worth of the record’s existence. Not sealed, vinyl never played, mint. LP jackets and belly-band also excellent.
