Davis Miles - Round About Midnight

Facts EU-only release in mini LP sleeve containing both the mono and stereo versions of the album. Miles Davis' quintet was formed in 1955 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest combos in Jazz history. Each of it's members were individual creative forces that could have easily been leaders. Miles had been recording for the small Jazz label Prestige, which didn't have a wide distribution. However, after his success at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival, he received a substantial offer from the recording giant Columbia. 'ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT was Miles' first album for the label, and he titled it after the Thelonious Monk tune that had earned him such great success at Newport.
