Miles Davis - "Miles Ahead"

Here is *Miles Ahead*  by Miles Davis ORIGINAL 1957 pressing on Columbia; CL 1041. MONO 6-EYE (Original cover-NOT out of focus, intentional design. & ALSO: tiny top seam printing.) - With original rounded plastic inner.

This was the first album following Birth of the Cool that Davis recorded with Gil Evans, with whom he would go on to release albums such as Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain. Gil Evans combined the ten pieces that make up the album in a kind of suite, each following the preceding one without interruption; the only exception to this rule was on the title track since it was placed last on side A. Davis is the only soloist on Miles Ahead, which also features a prominent horn section of 16 players. Art Taylor played drums on the sessions and current Miles Davis Quintet member Paul Chambers was the bassist.
