Miles Davis - Birth Of The Blue

A legendary ensemble. A missing piece of jazz history. Miles Davis – Birth of the Blue brings four stunning tracks recorded in 1958—just before Kind of Blue—into the spotlight they’ve long deserved. Pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, this is not a rehash—it’s a revelation.

Here, Davis’s iconic sextet—John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, and Jimmy Cobb—showcases the early sparks of modal jazz brilliance. These pieces, once scattered across compilations, now stand together in their own right, restored from original 3-track tapes and mastered with loving precision by Vic Anesini and Matthew Lutthans.

This exclusive Analogue Productions release is a masterclass in fidelity. From the tube-mastered lacquers to the scuff-resistant Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket, every detail honors the Columbia Records aesthetic of 1959. A stunning companion to Kind of Blue, this pressing is a must-own moment in music history.
